Shoei GT Air 2 - Affair TC-6

Finish top notch
Very nice internals
Internal sun visor improvement on GT Air 1.
Very comfortable.
Got a great deal as previous model - was able to use saving to purchase integrated intercom
Fast delivery in very well packaged box

Honestly the quietest and most comfortable helmet I've ever worn, would be 5 stars, but the chinstrap is stupidly small, I don't have an abnormally fat chin but Shoei would have you thinking different! Every helmet I've owned before has more material for adjustment than you'd ever need, but for some reason they skimped here, and on the largest setting, it's a tad too snug for me. I'd already taken the stickers off, so you live and learn.

Just make sure you put it on with the chinstrap done up before you take the stickers off!

Needed to replace my current shoei GT air, so I just got the next upgrade to GT air 2. Perfect fit and performance.

Shoei's are excellent helmets, this being the 3rd that I have purchased. They are very comfortable, with excellent crash protection. My partner has a GT Air II, while my road helmet is a Schuberth S2. I purchased this helmet for track use as it meets my requirements. The fit is snug and comfortable and I expect it to provide the same level of comfort and protection as the other two Shoei helmets have. I have the Sena SRL2 intercom system, which works well. The sound is very tinny however, compared to the custom made audio earplugs that I use with the Sena S20 on my Schuberth helmet. My previous Shoei helmet retained its fit and comfort over several years, which I expect this to also. Highly recommend Shoei helmets

Comfortable and practical helmet for new rider.
Will be getting the compatible intercom soon!

First Shoei after years of Arais and most recently a Shark Spartan carbon. Bought this to reduce the wind noise on my new adventure sport bike and it is the quietest helmet I've ever owned.

Fitted a (non Senna) intercom and it's audible at all legal speeds. A bit of a faff to mount the unit but it's all secure now.

I'm happy with this helmet, although the peripheral vision is not quite as good as the Shark Spartan meaning I need to turn my head a little bit more to check behind me, also the internal sun visor leaves a slither of light at the bottom of my vision which the Shark didn't

SPORTSBIKESHOP were very helpful as always and fitted larger set of internal padding to get the perfect fit.

Have a few helmets for different riding but this one is one is the best all rounder.

Pinlock perfectly prevents fogging on those cold mornings and there is good ventilation for hot days. Sun visor is easy to operate with gloves on and means you can quickly adjust when riding in and out of shaded areas. Main visor has a good seal from wind and rain.
Worn from sunrise to sunset and genuinely provides all day comfort. Have intercom fitted and don't notice the weight of that either.

Not so sure about the claim of "Anti-fog, anti-scratch inner sun visor" I find that the sun-visor material is very soft and makes cleaning it difficult, even a microfiber cloth can leave marks if you use too much pressure, so now I just remove the sun-visor rinse under water and leave to dry. Also had an issue with the outer visor mechanism on mine, however this was fixed under the excellent 5 year warranty.

Had my GT Air for many years. Launch of the GT air 3 means the air 2 is now great value. Does not disappoint with the usual and expected quality for Shoei. Great helmet.

My husband bought this and says it is the most comfortable helmet he's bought. Good quality and perfect fit. Brilliant service from SPORTSBIKESHOP Birmingham

This is my third GT Air following on from my previous two MK 1 versions, which I obviously liked having had two of them! I've been wearing Shoei helmets for about 20 years now and have always found the quality, fit and comfort excellent.
As some of the reviews on the GT Air 2 have said the initial fit out of the box is less snug than usual, I have always had size Small and they have been very tight until bedded in, this feels less tight but still snug so I am trusting Shoei will have got it right and it will still be a good fit after I have been using it for a while. I haven't actually worn it on the bike yet so can't really comment on the vents etc but the front vents are pretty much the same as on the old GT and they were easy to use and worked well. The rear vent of the old GT has been replaced by two rear facing exhaust ports for the air that are always open so you don't have to worry about that. The new type chin strap fastener seems easy to use and I haven't had to adjust it as it feels right for me as it came, but as others have said "what was wrong with the old double D rings". One thing struck me with the new system, the metal "tongue" that inserts into the fastener is quite long and with the helmet off it seems to tend to want to hang out of the bottom of the helmet so I am going to get into the habit of putting the tongue back in the fastener after I take it off to avoid it catching on any delicate surfaces when I put it down, fuel tank for example - although that may be me being over cautious!
The sun visor on my previous GTs have been very good so this should be even better as it now comes down 5mm further in the lowered position. Looking forward to using it on the bike soon.

Fits like a glove, very quiet and love the style.

Great item and value/service

Can only give 4 stars as had a similar helmet from HJC before i payed only £100 .. Quite high price but good quality.

I've had several Shoei helmets and they never disappoint. The GT Air2 is extremely light and very comfortable for me with no pressure points, but feels very secure on your head. The drop down sun visor seems better quality than previous too.

This lid has it all. The look, design, comfort, ventilation and low wind sound. Firstly trust your sizing. I'm a 60cm head and couldn't even fit the large on which is 59-60. I actually had to force it on with two hands from the top so I ordered the XL. Although the XL touched my face all over it wasn't as snug as it should have been so I sent that back. After 5 wears of the Large it now pulls on by pulling the straps apart and fits perfectly. Pinlock included and visual range is great.
It's a real head turner.
P.S the black rubber piece in the bag is a breath guard for the inside lower part of the helmet in front of your mouth. Took me a while to figure that out.
