Amazon.com Product Description
If you’re an avid boarder, you know that different light conditions sometimes require different goggle types. That’s where the Giro Manifest goggles come into play. Outfitted with an innovative pop-top lens change system, the Manifest makes it easy to swap one type of lenses with another. The pop-top system is intuitive to use: simply open the pop-top latch, pull the rear outriggers back, remove the lens, and pop in a new one. The interchangeable lens system makes it a breeze to adapt from whiteout conditions to bright sunny skies without rummaging through your gear looking for different goggles. Other details include articulating outriggers for a helmet-compatible fit, 12 mm dual-density face foam, and an adjustable strap. The Giro Manifest comes with two lenses: gold boost and amber scarlet.
About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry’s toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too–in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

I purchased the Giro Manifest goggles, and thought the product was ok, but not for the price. The lenses are super easy to change out, but I already broke the frame on my backup lenses since the carrying case for the extra lense provides no support for it. Also, the peripheral vision of the Manifest is not very good – my other Smith Phenom goggles are better. The lense on this goggle don’t really fog, which is nice. Also, the lenses look a lot better on the website than they do in real life. Overall, for the price, this goggle does not meet my expectations.

I like them a lot and the replacement lens sure are handy. The brow piece can be a bit tricky to remove but once you learn to remove one side at a time it is easy to swap from lens to lens. They fit great with my Giro helmet. Lenses can be hard to find but I have had great luck ordering from my local shop.

I purchased the $200 Giro Manifest Goggles with 2 lenses and recently decided to add 2 more lenses for $85 more $’s… My poor vision needs all the help it can get.
So, I looked on Giro’s web site and picked out the lenses and then ordered them through Amazon… “so far so good”…
but when the lenses came I discovered that they were of no use because they did not have the $12 “Giro Manifest Replacement Brow” with them… which you have to order separately… a fact that I discovered after several hours of calling several people in support (2 hang up’s and then I got some one who was really helpful). FYI, all the lenses illustrated on the web site are “browless”… It sure would have been nice and save a lot of time if the web site would mention and illustrate all of this!
Secondly, there is more bad news… Currently there are only 3 Giro Manifest Replacement” Brows available anywhere on the web and none are in Matte Black which is the color I need… Also, the local stores I called have none in stock and don’t know how to order them.
Finally, it is ironic to me that Giro advertises the Manifest goggles as having lenses that are as easy to change as opening a can of beer… but so far it has turned out to be impossible to order lenses that can be changed at all.
