I tried on a few different sizes. When i was learning, I got away with an XL helmet in a different brand (cannot remember which) and I ended up with an XXL Shoei.

Great helmet one issue.

Helmet fits perfectly as expected with Shoei, light and comfortable on long rides, I feel wind noise is low and very acceptable. Cardo coms were easy to install. Tinted drop down screen could do with being a little darker, one downside I have found is not the easiest to put your glasses on and mine even have slim wire arms, luckily I have a spare pair so cut the ends off them to make it easier.

Great Helmet

Shoei seem to fit me well, this is a great fit, although coming from a Neotec 2 I had to go up a size. My glasses fit in well and integrated comms is seamless. Love the look and graphics of this model.

All day comfort is worth paying for.

I bought this GT Air 3 helmet to replace my old GT Air. Apart from its great looks and high quality finish. The GT Air 3 provides better air flow than the original helmet. This is especially noticeable around the top of the head. The inbuilt sun visor also seems to drop slightly lower reducing the light coming in from below. Another big plus is that they have given a better city gap position on the main visor, This wasn't very good original helmet. One of the main factors of paying out for a premium helmet is that the other manufacturers helmets just didn't seem to have the same quality feel with regards to the soft and plush interior of the Shoei.

Brilliantly Quiet

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

Very comfortable helmet

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.

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

It’s a Shoei, what more do you want.

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.

The GT-AIR series has been supported by many riders for its convenience, aggressive and sophisticated styling, and smart styling that supports an exclusively designed communication system. While inheriting the design that symbolizes the series, the functional and performance aspects have been brushed up, and the GT-AIR 3 has been born.
In pursuit of improvement, it now conforms to ECE 22.06, ventilation performance and quietness, and by downsizing the integrated communication system attachment mechanism the installation has been enhanced. The newly designed visor not only has an added opening position that ensures fogging is eliminated and helps circulate the air inside the helmet it also introduces a centre locking mechanism. The improved chin strap has a compact and lightweight micro ratchet design to help maintain strength.
