Shoei Neotec 3 - Matt Black

A good improvement over the neotec 2 better ventilation and beds in quickly

Perfect fit. Easy smooth visor action with several locking stages.

I bought this helmet the day before a 4 day ride around Devon and Dorset. The helmet is really comfortable and quiet, I didn t need to use earplugs on the motorway as I usually would. I linked up with 5 riders using the new Sena kit I had installed in the helmet. This was vey clear and easy to use. Overall a brilliant helmet, not the cheapest by far, but worth the extra spend.

This was to replace my Shoei Tec 1. The helmets are the best on the market. first fitting, fits like a glove, well made , great design. Yes its expensive, but you only have one head and it needs protecting with this quality helmet. Highly recommended

The helmet

Great quality, extremely comfortable and easy and positive functionality.

I bought this helmet first of all because it’s so much easier when you go to the petrol station to communicate with the attendant and when you are out riding and you just want to have a conversation or just lift the front of the helmet up , I also bought the integrated come system so I can hear my navigation or even listen to some music when I am just cruising along and you can decide if you want or need to answer that phone call, and just look at it it looks fantastic even the black looks like carbon fibre. The colours are so vibrant you want something that’s going to stand out and be more visible to other motorists of that there is no doubt whatsoever make yourself visible as possible. It may not be cheap but you will be buying the one thing that is most important to your safety.?

SHOEI quality. Great fit, very comfortable and fully featured. My first ever flip front, and I'm extremely impressed. Quite expensive but will give years of great service.

I always used shark helmets before but after reading reviews and speaking to other owners I tried on in store and ordered online with usual ease of SBS arrived next day once you get used to visor adjustments etc it becomes part of you it’s comfortable and very quiet top vent is great only downside I find is not much venting from the bottom vent all in all very pleased 5stars

I've had many helmets over the years but only 2 Shoei. First the J-Cruise, now the Neotec 3.
The Neotec 3 fits like it was designed for my specific head. Even if I didn't wear earplugs it'd still be very quiet. It is pricey,but it's quality and I only have 1 head so it's worth the cost

Total comfort and flexibility.

Extra padding making it more insulated against wind noise, protects your under chin with extra padding under the chin strap.
The sun visor is better than the neotec 2 in my opinion
Yet to try out the Sena SRL system ..
A great upgrade to an already great helmet

Perfect flip up helmet with a good number of visor positions.

Nice design, easy to use and wear, flip lock is reassuringly solid, does a decent job on wind noise, inbuilt sun visor works well. Just a very good lid.

I was apprehensive to update my old Shoei Neotec but it had started to fall apart after 9 years of use. The new Neotec 3 was delivered to my house within 3 days, well packaged. Didn't have chance to break it in before week long tour of France. The flip is extremely useful for peripheral vision in cities, and it ratchets up firmly in place. I like how the visor locks shut now with a push button release system. Really quiet in fast roads, and good ventilation. I use a Cardo system with mine and it was easy to migrate from the old lid to this. I didn't use Shoeis proprietary system. Despite not breaking this lid in before my trip it's amazingly comfortable even after 5-6 hours wear per day in hot conditions. It stood up well to the rain in England too. All in all, very pleased.
