Reviews Shoei's popular sports-touring helmet series comes bang up to date with the GT-Air 3

Customers appreciated the fit and quality of Shoei helmets, noting their comfort and features like built-in sun visors and quietness during rides. Some found them tight or less adjustable, mentioning design issues with chin straps and visor mechanisms. Comparisons with other brands often highlighted mixed feelings on air ventilation and material quality. Overall, these helmets were seen as a worthwhile investment despite minor drawbacks, with many customers valuing the upgrades and features like Sena integration.
This is a great helmet both in looks and quality the In built sun visor is a winner it feels so nice on the staff at the Preston shop where very helpful in getting me the right gear
This helmet not only fits my jacket colour and bike but also fits my riding style. It’s elegant and sits so well on my head that there is no movement whatsoever.
Secure and comfortable with plush lining as expected. I measure at 56-57 cm and Shoei size S is an ideal fit. Liking the switch to central visor closure from previous GT Air. A fair investment but reckon my head’s worth it …
I wouldn't buy from any other manufacturer and this helmet doe's not let the side down it is a quality product 100%
Amazing lid!
Coming from another brand and having this fitted using the pfs its been perfect fit since day 1!
Worth every penny and as always the patience and welcoming team at Boston made the trip completely stress free.
Paint finish is immaculate, the intercom built in looks and sounds great.
Highly recommended
Apart from the quality and comfort of this helmet, I can't praise Sue and her staff enough for their patience and time spent trying on multiple helmets at the Milton Keynes branch.
Service from the beginning, ordering multiple items to try on, till the end including post sale support is consistent and phenomenal. Sportsbikeshop is my first port of call for motorcycle equipment!
This is a great helmet and sportsbikeshop were instrumental in ensuring I got the right size and fit. This is not a cheap item and a helmet is probably the most important thing you ll ever buy for your motorcycle. It s seriously not worth trying to save money ordering things online that might not fit or suit you. It is far better to go to a proper bike shop and get it fitted properly.
From my perspective this is identical to the original GT Air other than a slightly wider outline around the ears - I believe this accommodates a comms system, though I do not use one.
A shame that there is no option to pick custom sized cheek pads (ordered separately at additional cost). Also found a bit of a faff fitting the chin curtain and breath deflector - would have been ideal if these came fitted.
Delivery was good and fast. Happy overall, great product.
Bought this in the sale at really good price matched price! Already had a gt air 2 but fancied a new one with more colour. Extremely comfortable, excellent vision, no fog up on visor and very quiet. Really good, well made comfortable helmet.
Purchased this helmet when the Black Friday deals were on and ordered the large size according to my head measurement. After trying it on with ear plugs and balaclava I thought it seemed a tad too big. Popped into thd Leeds branch of sbs and they booked me in for a fitting. Ordered the helmet in a size M just incase. As it turned out the medium was a better fit and the young lady with the long brown hair (sorry can't remember your name) was very helpful with how it should fit properly.
5* service
Perfect top notch as normal with Shoei helmets
Personal fitting was done in the store.
Bought as a long overdue upgrade to the GT Air 1. Very impressed so far.
Slightly larger than my last helmet of the same size. However really comfortable and got a good deal on it.
This is the third iteration of the GT Air: I've used all of them and this is the best yet. Better fit for me than the previous model, better ventilation & great graphics. The only downside is the price - I got mine on offer from Sportsbikeshop as an early Xmas present.
Purchased this helmet on a spur of the moment buy really pleased I did as a great helmet very quiet, Fitts great , looks amazing would highly recommend to anybody who does proper mileage on their bike
Originally I went to Sportsbikeshop to buy a much cheaper helmet. But after trying on the whole shop's stock back catalogue, I realised you really do get what you pay for!
I also opted for the fitting service to make it mould to my freaky shaped swede. This helmet now feels like it was built just for me.. which in essence, it literally was.
With a built in sun visor and quick release strap as standard, and the dark smoke visor and integrated Sena mesh intercom added on top.. there really is not much more you can ask for in a helmet.
Wearing it for a full 7-8hrs is a total problem free experience with no pressure points or sore spots making themselves known. The noise levels are also rather bearable and earplugs are not even remotely required.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
