We always refused to make bulky, hard helmets because they are very uncomfortable to wear in the wind and horrible to surf with. They could even be dangerous as they make the impact in the water even harder for your neck.
The S-FOAM helmet uses an innovative material that allowed Manera to create a soft, fitted helmet that is very comfortable to ride with.
Key Features
“Smart” Foam: S-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.
Perfect Fit: The helmet is molded into one piece, instead of just trying to assemble a flat pattern into 3D
CE Certified: Certified under the CRITT SL PROTOCOL CSN – 001 : 2023
Technology
“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.
Perfect fit
Manera’s 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 stitchings).
The S-FOAM HELMET leaves no area unprotected and perfectly fits your head, creating a helmet-free feeling while riding.
