EXPERIENCE THE FIT OF AN INNOVATIVE 3D PATTERN-MAKING
The most important aspect of a MANERA wetsuit is probably the way it is designed.
LEARN MOREInfos & Characteristics
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 us to create a soft, fitted helmet that is very comfortable to ride with.

"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
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 stitchings). The S-FOAM HELMET leaves no area unprotected and perfectly fits your head, creating a helmet-free feeling while riding.

Crash test
The aim of this video, produced in the Manera studio, is to demonstrate the shock absorption capacity of the S-foam technology.
