Bring lots of liquids so you won't dehydrate ( place it inside bombproof thermos containers---if you can bring a dozen Camelbaks, you got an option too). Bring your iPOD with atmospheric soundtracks---something like Vangelis, trance even classical music can add to the scenarios while riding. No-not 'Ride of the Valkyries'-too typical! Some Vivaldi would be cool----). Then bring insect repellents,tons of tank tops, sunblocks and 'sport deodorants'. And bananas too----ripe and a month's worth---

Just starting biking instead of driving about 2 months ago, and needed a helmet that was comfortable, looked good, and was still affordable. After a bit of research, I learned that the better helmets were lighter, while still giving the same amount of protection. More openings in the helmet meant better air flow (so your head stays cool), lighter weight, but also a bit higher price tag.
After comparing a few helmets on Amazon in the $50 range, I decided on this one based on the look and what I perceived to be a good air flow. I’ve put over 300 miles on my bike so far, and I can honestly say it’s easy to forget the helmet is even on. Having only worn toy-store quality hemets before, this was an incredible upgrade.
It’s feather-light, and it rests on my head comfortably with an easy-to-use dial at the back for making it fit snugly. The straps looked a bit uncomfortable at first sight, but as soon as you snap the buckle together you forget they are there.
AND THE AIRFLOW! WOW!! I don’t even know if that’s the right word for it… but this helmet keeps my head very cool. I live in SoCal with 75-90 degree weather lately, but even with commutes as long as 20 miles, the wind rushes right through the helmet, across my head as I ride, and my head does not get hot and sweaty.
I don’t know how they did it, but thank you Giro for this gift to bikers!

This helmet has great a great fit (even for my odd shaped head). I love the quick adjuster. The vents provide great air-flow to keep you cool while riding. I am a mountain biker. I’m preparing for my first triathlon. Luckily I have no idea how well this helmet performs in an impact situation because I haven’t wrecked yet. Hopefully I will never have to write a review about how well this helmet performed when I wrecked (knock on wood).
Comfortable
Sleek
Keeps you cool
Inexpensive
I highly recommend this helmet (and brand)

Figure I’d give this helmet a try due to the light weight and very adequate venting. The design and dial in fit for the back is standard design for bicycle helmets in this price range.
HOWEVER for anyone with large heads (>60cm) be warned that this helmet will not fit you!! I have a large head which is 60.5cm, and the helmet even with the loosest dial setting in the back barely fit my head and it looked like a mushroom on top of that. The description says “universal fit”, which is incorrect. Had to return it. And went with another VERY POPULAR 4 letter brand (brand sold here on Amazon and has an even bigger name in the Bike accessory industry since the invention of the telephone by the inventor Alexander Graham….) which I know has a “universal fit” that truly does have settings for even the largest heads.
BTW – I normally take a size XL with motorcycle helmets

This is my third Giro helmet. Like the others, the Rift is light-weight, comfortable, and easy to adjust. The biggest challenge I faced was mounting my Third-eye mirror. Attached to the side of the visor the mirror works like a charm. I can’t think of any way to improve the combination. Oh yes, the price is reasonable as well.

I liked the ventilation design of the Rift better than the cheaper Indicator, and I liked the Accu-Dial system on Rift better than on the more expensive Phase (the Rift felt more secure). If the Rift had 3 different sizes like the Phase does, it would be perfect.
Pros: Inexpensive; very secure fit; front band is very good at catching sweat and keeping it out of your eyes; looks good; comfortable enough.
Cons: Straps seem to lie oddly, and took a while to get adjusted initially so they felt right; one-size-fits-all design can make you feel like you’re wearing a helmet that’s too big.
