Manera S-Foam Helmet – “Smart” Foam

S-FOAM (Smart Foam) is made of a non-Newtonian fluid that is soft and flexible at normal state, but instantly becomes stiff when subject to an impact. This means you have a perfectly fitted, comfortable helmet when riding, but it will protect you when needed.

Manera refuses to make hard, bulky helmets because they are very uncomfortable to wear in the wind and horrible to surf. They can even be dangerous because they make impact in the water even harder on your neck.

The Manera S-FOAM helmet uses an innovative material that has allowed us to create a soft, fitted helmet that is very comfortable to wear.

Technology:

S-FOAM (Smart Foam) is made of a non-Newtonian fluid that is soft and flexible at normal state, but instantly becomes stiff when subject to an impact. This means you have a perfectly fitted, comfortable helmet when riding, but it will protect you when needed.

Perfect fit:
Our innovation here relies on the 3D construction. The helmet is molded into one piece, instead of just trying to assemble a flat pattern into 3D (think standard rugby soft helmets full of bumps and stitching). The S-FOAM HELMET leaves no area unprotected and perfectly fits your head, creating a helmet-free feeling while riding.

Murrays Fit notes: These helmets are very flexible and fit readily. I have a 58cm head and can fit all 3 sizes, but would choose a Medium. I wear a Large Gath helmet. In any case, they sizing is not critical, they are easy to fit unless you know you have a massive or tiny head that does not fit most standard helmets.
