Giro Manifest Spherical MIPS Helmet

Instead of a plastic slip-plane liner that sits against your head, Spherical Technology uses a ball-and-socket design where the outer shell rotates independently around an inner liner. This eliminates the friction and 'plastic' feel of traditional MIPS while providing more comprehensive impact protection.

Yes, the helmet features integrated eyewear grippers and channels specifically designed to hold sunglasses securely when you aren't wearing them. It is also compatible with most standard mountain bike goggles.

Absolutely. The FidLock buckle is designed to snap together magnetically for easy, one-handed operation, but it requires a deliberate sliding motion to release. It stays firmly closed even on technical, bumpy terrain.

The Manifest is exceptionally airy. Because it uses the AURA reinforcing arch for structural support, Giro was able to open up the shell significantly, allowing for 19 large vents that promote continuous airflow even at lower climbing speeds.

Yes, the XT2 antimicrobial padding is removable and washable. It is designed to absorb sweat and resist odors, but you can easily pull it out to clean it after particularly muddy or hot rides.

The moto-style visor is adjustable, allowing you to tilt it up or down to suit your preference or weather conditions. While it is secure, it is best adjusted before you start your ride rather than on the fly.
