Shoei Neotec 3 - Matt Black

After spending 5yrs in a Nexx peaked helmet I decided I want a flip front, unfortunately I dont get on with the strap on the Nexx version and after trying numerous brands settled on the Shoei as its definitely the best.

Plus points, great quality, fits great and comfortable (the Nexx may be a touch better here).

Negative, the price! and the noise! I find this helmet very noisy, I could spend 8hrs in the saddle with the Nexx without earplugs and be ok but this Shoei after a hour or so it starts to get to you, its wind noise but whether I tuck behind my screen (big adv screen) or have my head in clean air makes next to no difference. So not overly impressed with spending nearly double.

I also find the ventilation a bit lacking, it gets very stuffy without having the visor cracked and even on a warm clear day I can see the visor fogging up around the pinlock.

Great helmet, lovely and comfortable, very little wind noise when at high speed, best helmet I have purchased

This was to replace my last helmet of 7 years, my first flip up helmet and oh boy is it a revelation.
Comfort-wise it's miles ahead of my old helmet and anything else I tried, sitting snug to my head without squeezing - the adjustability is fantastic, and the airflow even at 20mph keeps it from getting too warm inside.
The pin lock stuff works great, keeping the visor from fogging up much more effectively than I thought it'd be.
It's super quiet, with a pair of earplugs or wireless headphones the wind vanishes even at (and above.. whoops) motorway speeds
My only gripes come down to how I can store it when out and about - it's a fair bit bulkier than my old helmet so can no longer fit mine and the passenger's helmet in my top box (it just about fits on it's own), and unlike the old D rings, there's not really a nice way to clip it to the frame (my bike has a couple of secure hooks under the seat for this purpose), without locking it with a separate padlock.
That all said - I seriously love this helmet, highly recommend

I went to Sportsbikeshop to buy a Neotec 3 and have it properly sized and fitted. They were very helpful, kitting me out with different cheek pads which meant a really secure and comfortable fit.
The helmet is good quality, the flip up tab is easy to find with gloves on, and the sun visor and pinlock work as they should. The button for the visor is easy to find and use with gloves.
My only complaint is that it's not the quietest of helmets, but it's not the noisiest either and I'd still say it's at a comfortable level and with the coms system fitted to the helmet wind noise doesn't remain such a factor. The coms system works really well and the speaker quality is excellent.
Generally very pleased with it.

Great helmet, small improvements and quieter than my last Shoei tec 2.

After going to the shop and seeing this helmet for myself the on line picture doesn’t do it justice, great fit the most comfortable helmet you can buy , excellent service all round

Very happy with this purchase. Sportsbikeshop staff members could not have been more helpful in assisting me with getting good fit. Like the overall general feel of the helmet and everything about it works well. All features are so simple to use including the Sena SRL3 tailored unit (purchased separately) that I fitted. Would recommend this helmet to anyone, but make sure it fits well.

Great helmet

Beautiful well made and very well designed for integrated headset,flip front for easy access at petrol stations without removing helmet,expensive but as they say buy cheap buy twice,and i only have one head,so would like to protect it with the best!

Fantastic helmet had the original Neotec,then normal Shoei full face lid which I recently dropped and was 5 years old so thought I better replace it,more than happy with the new Shoei extremely comfortable and love the drop down sun visor,only downside is you can really feel the weight difference compared to normal lid,but sure will get used to it in no time.

On the expensive side but for good reason.

Wow I love my new helmet , I saved hard for this as it’s not cheap but it’s awesome,
Compared to my old one it’s so light and nimble and looking behind is much better and then to be able to lift the front is perfect for me , also the intercom is excellent and easy to use too

Great helmet. I bought the additional cheek kit but I'm finding it difficult to fit! The helmet seemed slightly larger than my previous Shoei helmet of the same size.

First time I've had a Shoei helmet. Very impressed with the quality and I've found it to relatively quiet with good ventilation.

Third helmet I’ve purchased from SBS - Shipping is on point, price is fair, and exchange/returns are simple.

Lovely helmet, well made with quality materials.
