Manifest Spherical Helmet
$370 ( ogc.ca)
Giro’s latest helmet for trail rides uses the company’s balland-socket technology along with mips. The helmet has a high-density outer layer of expanded polystyrene foam and a low-density inner layer. They move independently of one another to provide protection at high and low speeds. The helmet’s ability to protect you from the rotation forces generated in a crash are further bolstered with a mips insert. At low speeds, air moves freely between the helmet and your head. If you are someone who starts sweating just thinking about climbs, this is the helmet for you.— Joelvosburg
