Reviews Shoei's popular sports-touring helmet series comes bang up to date with the GT-Air 3
Customers praise the helmet’s quality finish, comfort and accurate fit, with several saying it feels premium and quiet. The central visor release and quick-release strap are widely liked, and the built-in sun visor is seen as useful. Some customers mention sizing can feel tighter than expected, while others note issues with the chin strap, visor mechanism, or ventilation. Overall, many consider it a worthwhile upgrade and strongly recommend it.
Its really snug fit first helmet in 20 yr after just getting back in bikes and extremely comfortable and quite
I bought this as my previous helmet is very noisy, and I m deaf enough as it is
The staff at Preston fussed about and made sure that I had the correct size and changed some of the pads to get it perfect.
It s fantastically quiet and very steady with no buffeting in high winds.
Well pleased
It was time to upgrade my GT Air 2....the 3 is everything the 2 was before...just that bit better! Of course ordering from SBS is always dead easy and delivery is super quick. Happy Days.
I love the helmet and the fit. If I had 1 criticism it would be that cheek padding popper comes off way to easy when putting on the and taking off the helmet.
Great looking helmet, comfortable and a sun visor is a game changer, very pleased.
light, comfortable, little bit noisy at high speeds but that could well be the bike i'm on, VFR800 very blustery.... even with puig screen fitted, otherwise no complaints at all and would recommend to anyone who is serious about buying a decent helmet
Brilliant helmet, cool and comfortable all day.
All the comfort and feeling of quality you expect from a premium brand.
As others have said, it’s not the quietest but it’s not as loud as my old AGV.
Sizing good. I am in middle of the M size range ind it is perfect - snug without being tight. Low wind noice and excellent visor system enabling easy use even with heavier gloves. Highly recommmend. I wear spectacles for riding and the pre aligned lining cut out is perfect.
Best helmet I've had, fits great, is high quality, and I have much less wind noise too. I'm loving it
Great helmet, customisable internals to fit your fat or thin head. Fat head in my case
This is a very comfortable helmet, lighter than my previous one and easy to put on and take off. I like the fact that it seamlessly integrates a comms system, which can be heard clearly even at 70MPH.
Best helmet I’ve ever had, this is my second Shoei helmet I had the two now the three, the three is an upgrade obviously from the two not masses of difference but I think it’s got a slightly better airflow and seems quieter a touch heavier but not noticeable when wearing pin lock supplied although I don’t use them the sun visor is a great edition easily operated with gloves on by side leaver on the left-hand side. The main visor clicks shut and you have to press a button at the front to open it., felt a little awkward to find the button with gloves on to start with but didn’t take long to get the hang of it. There are other great helmets out there but this helmet ticks all the boxes I need. Fairly expensive, but at the end of the day, what’s your Head worth?
Comfortable and quiet with no neck issues experienced.
Bought this helmet to replace X-SPR Pro but turned out to be the biggest mistake. Chinstrap clip chokes my throat by squeezing Adam’s apple. Since I’m used to Shoei I thought this helmet would fit me well but it gives me headaches. With addition of chin mount for action camera seems to add more weight at the front i.e. more neck and head pain. If it wasn’t for my big wind deflector on my GSA, my ears would be shot. Super noisy.
I started off with cheap helmets and have been happy with them all until I upgraded to this. It’s a lot more money but you really do get a much better lid for your money, fits great, and can be custom fitted by a specialist if that’s what you want. The thing that sets it apart for me thought is the design allows for my glasses to comfortably slot into a space between the padding which means there’s no rubbing or pressure on the bridge of my nose or ears which was a real issue with my Nolan helmet
Great comfort, superb quality.
