The Giro Rift bike helmet is an ideal choice for riders who want cool comfort and rugged good looks without breaking the bank. The helmet is made using Giro's in-mold construction, which fuses the helmet's outer shell with an impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. The helmet also employs Giro's patented Acu Dial fit system, which hugs the back of your head and reduces the tendency of your helmet to shift forwards or backwards. Unlike most system, the Acu Dial's design provides adjustable tension independent of the helmet straps. This means you don't have to overtighten the straps to enjoy a snug, comfortable fit. The bike's premium features conclude with a whopping 24 cooling events, keeping you well ventilated on both short and long rides.

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.

You've just stumbled upon a well-made, extra versatile helmet. Congratulations! But be careful because the Giro Rift Helmet might just turn you into a value-minded rebel. Five dollars for a latte? Forget it! Eighty dollars for a parking ticket? Ha! But hey, you'll be glad you have this helmet when you find the boot on your car. And now you're suddenly motivated to make the 20-mile ride to work! The 24 vents move fresh air into the helmet and stale air out to keep you cool. The Acu Dial Fit System, which utilizes a dial for single-handed tension adjustment, will keep you comfortable. And the In-Mold Construction, which provides increased strength and breathability for the weight, will give you a second chance if despair overcomes you and you fling yourself off that overpass. When you finally do make it to work, lower your head and the Snap-Fit Visor will prevent any uncomfortable eye contact with your boss.
