Reviews Shoei's popular sports-touring helmet series comes bang up to date with the GT-Air 3
Customers generally praise Shoei helmets for their comfort, fit, and quality finish. Many appreciate features like the sun visor and quick-release strap. Several customers noted design flaws, such as issues with the chin strap fit and challenges with integration of communication systems like Sena. While some compared it unfavorably to other brands on aspects like wind noise and speaker functionality, others found it quieter and more comfortable than previous models. Overall, customers found the helmets to be well-constructed but with room for improvement.
I have suffered with pain around the forehead with my other helmets, but this Shoei GT Air 3 is super comfortable.
Nice and quiet (especially with the top vent closed) and it was great that it was also delivered with a Pinlock.
I would seriously recommend this helmet - it’s worth paying that bit more.
Perfect comfortable fit, can wear this for hours. Quality lining. Upgrade options such as intercom and HUD!
Best helmet I've owned. Comfortable with an awesome look. Sun visor is a God send.
I bought this as I wanted a quieter helmet that I could fit my Cardo intercom and larger speakers. It is extremely comfortable, has very little wind noise and the Cardo sits perfectly. I only docked a star because I find the strap irritates my chin which I find odd for such a premium brand, but it wouldn't stop me buying another one when the time comes.
Fits very well lots of ventilation and the ratchet buckle is convenient. Had no problems with it
Took the option to have custom fit at Boston shop helmet fits great so many thanks to James for all his help
Excellent service
This is a great helmet, high quality, lightweight from a premium brand. It has a very wide field of vision and has the added benefit of a drop down sun visor. Quick release chin strap makes removing the helmet a breeze. It was also very easy to remove the internal padding to fit my SENA intercom. I would highly recommend this model as well as the brand and I couldn’t find it cheaper anywhere else.
Have a Neo tech 2 flip and this is even quieter. Great Comfort as usual from Shoei. Drop down visor easy to use and the visor is easy to change if you are running a dark visor.
Super happy with my new helmet,super quick delivery, and a great price, Thank you.
Love this helmet, comfy from the start. I have the weirdest shape head and this was the only tidy fit I could find using the shoei personalisation fitting with the different sized pads. A big shout out to Courtney at Bristol for having the patience of a saint whilst I tried on nearly every helmet in the store over two days and he helped me check the fit on every one. He was so helpful and knowledgeable about the different brands that he helped me to make a choice that I'm very happy with, and kept a smile on his face the whole time - thank you!
Also bought the integrated Sena Comms which are a brilliant addition. Courtney fitted the Comms, and pinlock included with the helmet etc for me which was really helpful! The helmet is so quiet for wind noise, plenty of decent ventilation. Shoei is higher on price but so worth it in my opinion.
After riding for 30+yrs, always using decent mid-range helmets, I saw this on a nice discount at Leeds SBS and couldn't resist. My first premium helmet, and I'm not disappointed. The build quality & comfort are exceptional. Initially troubled by high airflow coming in under the chin, but fitting the deflector fixed that.
Bought this for my daughter good fit as shoei has different size pads to retro fit the lid the sales assistant fitted it for me and the pads were fitted in store and checked, I was unaware of this so hats off to the store!
I didn’t really want to spend £650 plus on a helmet but with discount on this lid it was over £150off.
It definitely fitted my shape head better and it could take a comms set up also.
I've always had Shark, but wanted a new lighter, quieter with the Sena integration. Feels quality, only tried it twice but it was nice and quiet and felt light on my head. A bit pricey but if you get a few years then worth it.
What's not to like. Very comfortable and quiet helmet.
There is nothing about this helmet that I dislike. It is comfortable to wear, feels safe and secure and I dont regret buying it. Best helmet I've ever had.
Great looking helmet
My 1st Shoei helmet
Ultra comfortable/ great fit
Love it so far???
I have used Shoei helmets for over 10 years and have agin bought a new GT Air 3. The quality stands out and the tailored fitting service I received makes all the difference.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
