This is a very nice helmet which was acquired at a very reasonable cost for the quality construction that you get. With a lot of the new Giro models out this one probably doesn't get the high kudos that it should. Very comfortable and very sharp!

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that at high speeds such as whizzing downhill there seems to be a bit more wind noise created by my ears than my last Giro. However, not enough of a complaint to keep me from using it every day. 4 stars

I recently adcquired this helmet, and I am very excited with it. It's a very high quality helmet and the very very best was the price! 4 stars

Four weeks ago while riding at 20 mph a squirrel darted from the side of the trail and into my front wheel. The wheel immediately stopped rotating and I somersaulted over the handlebars and landed directly on the left front of my Giro helmet. The helmet's interior broke in 4 sections and the exterior shell sustained a crushing blow. I suffered only a headache. That evening I ordered a new Giro Animas helmet and 2 weeks later I was back on the bike leading a 3 day tour up the Marin and Sonoma coastline. My doctor told me that the helmet likely prevented a serious and possibly fatal head injury. The Giro helmet is truly a life saver.
The Animus is a well designed, comfortable helmet that can be adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit. I will never be without it. 5 stars

I had a cheap one and i already can tell the difference of using Giro Animas. Works for me coz it has nice ventilation. Love this helmet and i would recommend this to a friend. 5 stars
