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 helmet is perfect for me. The fit is lovely, even with my glasses on. The liner is soft and comfortable, I didn't need to break it in, it didn't have any tight, pressure spots. The sun visor works really well. I would have liked a double D strap, but that's just personal preference.
The GT AIR 3 is a great helmet. The built-in sun visor is a game changer, now need for visors changes while out on ride out . I have so far not had any issues with misting up . The GT AIR 3 is really comfortable and light weight.
This is my third GT Air. Have moved around with different brands over the years but always liked Shoei (fits my noggin well). Comfort is great, nice space headsets and great aerodynamics (I get much less buffering with this compared to my previous helmet).
Internal sun visor is great for me as a glasses wearer as no need for bringing sunglasses.
Overall, although pricey compared to other brands, the quality is very high and personal feel it's worth the extra.
Perfect fit for me, internal sun visor is a game changer for a spectacle wearer like me.
Haven’t tested it whilst riding yet but seems a nice fit when trying it on in house
Brilliant helmet, such good quality cannot fault it .
Lovely colour pattern, just find it a very comfortable
Helmet.
Very comfortable helmet and feels well made. I came from a HJC helmet and this feels better quality. It's quite a round shape, but that's synonymous with Shoei helmets. I did purchase the SRL-3 intercom at the same time to benefit from the VAT reduction in price. Both the helmet and intercom were price matched by Sportbikeshop, which is excellent service. Thank you.
Absolute top draw crash helmet, as you would expect from Shoei. Great clear vision from the visor providing a draft free and condensation free view. Noise levels wind and engine are very good too. Easily wearable for hours at a time with no discomfort or tight pressure points. AAAAAAA+++++++++
Love this helmet, massive upgrade on my previous one. Comfortable, good noise reduction and amazing aero at speed.
It's a Shoei helmet, fits like a glove and very comfortable
This is my third gt air helmet. Dont think ill ever find another that fits and feels as comfy as this model. Also helps that shoei do many different head and cheek pieces to make the fit perfect for each individual. Can not fault this model. Easily find replacement parts such as the visors and cheeks pieces as with all these parts they degrade over time and become loose but very easy to replace I love the deep down screen visor as it means I can keeo the clear visor but also have the tinted screen visor when its sunny. Also easy to fot my csrdo edge to this visor and hide all the wires.
Great fit, looks good and bought it with a discount, even better.
I originally bought an AGV and the staff got in the bigger size for me to try a month later, unfortunately neither felt quite right so they suggested the Shoei which was more expensive but perfect!
I must say all the staff in the Leeds store are so helpful and knowledgable. I hate trying things on but they made it a pleasure and were so patient.
I have bought many things from SBS and never come across a better company to deal with!!?
Many thanks

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
