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.
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
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
