DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
The helmet is so comfortable you'll forget it's there as soon as you hit the water. The S-FOAM is soft to wear but turns rigid on impact, which gets rid of that heavy feeling on your head. Its 3D fit contours to the shape of your skull, so you feel less movement from the helmet when you look around or make a maneuver. The ventilation keeps you cool without sacrificing safety.
Sizing and Fit
The size chart covers a wide range of head circumferences: S (52-54 cm), M (55-58 cm), and L (58-61 cm). The molded construction and integrated pads ensure a stable fit. We recommend measuring your head at its widest point to choose the size closest to your measurement. The helmet stays snug without being restrictive.
Construction and Materials
The core of the protection is S-FOAM, a non-Newtonian material that hardens on impact. The shell is 3D molded to eliminate unprotected areas and reduce seams. This construction choice explains its low profile and the feeling that you're not even wearing a helmet when you ride.
On-Water Performance
While riding, you'll notice low aerodynamic drag and no interference around the ears, which helps with waterstarts and quick head movements. The material's flexibility reduces the kind of stiffness that can pull on your neck during an impact with the water. This helmet stays securely in place, even in high winds or when you take a slap from your board.
Who It's For
The MANERA S-FOAM HELMET is for any rider who dislikes bulky helmets but still wants certified watersports protection. Just measure your head (from 52 to 61 cm) and pick your size. A snug, comfortable fit ensures the helmet stays put while you ride.
Buying Advice
Measure your head circumference before you order to get the right size. Inspect the helmet for wear and tear each season, and always give it a freshwater rinse after a session in the salt. If you're between sizes, go for the larger one, especially if you plan to wear a thin neoprene hood underneath.
