New season, new look, new lid. Giant’s new Rail helmets have arrived Down Under and we’ve just picked one up. Time to get it sweaty!

Clean styling for a cool head this summer.
Huge vents and an adjustable interior.

First thing you’ll notice when you hold the Rail helmet is its serious lack of weight, it’s lighter than a pack of diet rice crackers. And the new-school styling is very on point, available in three colours (orange and black) plus a women’s styling option called the Liv Infinita.

Giant Rail Helmet-1
Good looking lid, we’re very impressed!

Aimed at the trail/enduro rider, the Rail has a bunch of cool features and more protection than your standard cross-country helmet.

There’s more of the helmet around the rear and sides of your head, there is plenty of flat surfaces to stick a helmet camera, and a nifty goggle strap clip to secure the straps of your goggles around the back.

Giant Rail Helmet-4
A little bungy strap and clip secures the goggles.

The visor has a huge range of adjustment, by tilting and lifting right up high your goggles sit off your face but can rest conveniently under the visor for quick access. A dial around the back adjusts tension, and the ‘Y’ straps are fused together, which fits us perfectly.

Killer value at $144, we’re impressed.
