I really like this helmet! The comfort and fit make it a pleasure to use. Most of the time while riding I don't even know it's on. The straps grip my head lower than other I have used and it stays put without sliding down. (thinking of you Giro.) I have also worn Specialized and Lazer helmets and the MET tops them. The magnetic clasp is cool and there is good ventalation.
I tend to ride in cooler cilmates, so unsure how it would be in warmer temps.
Glad I purchased it when I did, since it looks like the prices have gone up dramticaly. Must be the new tariffs. Thank you Mr. President. ??
Coming from a gen 1 Kask Protone. Got the MET for MIPS technology and to have a new look over the old Protone in a semi-aero design. Overall I love the Manta. The Fidlock took a little getting used to but now I love it and it's easier to disconnect one-handed vs a traditional clasp. The sizing was spot-on, running a touch larger than the Protone in the size medium I went with with my 58cm head. Ventilation is not bad but probably a step behind the Protone. However the Manta is better at not channeling the sweat straight to your eyes and sunglasses like the Protone liked to do. Only real detractor of the Manta is that it is harder to get my sunglasses in the sunglass ports with one hand than it was with the Protone. Other than that, I think I like the manta better in every way.
