Another quality helmet
26 March 2025 by Anonymous
Since I started to be able to afford quality helmets, I have always chosen Shoei - over 30 years now. This latest in the "Air" series of helmets does not disapoint. Fits very well as expected and a nice touch is the centre locking for the visor. My insurer gave me a discount code for a 10% reduction in price from SPORTSBIKESHOP, an oitfit I have used before. Helmet arrived on time, was a good price, was well packaged - everything you might expect from a seamless transaction over the web. I could not be more pleased!

Great quality helmet.
07 March 2025 by John B
I originally ordered the Schubert S3 in a large which arrived and was too small, so I sent it back and swapped it for the extra large which was too big.
I opted to try the shoei Gt air3 In a large and it fitted like a glove.
At the time the realm TC 10 was on offer so I got a helmet with graphics for nearly the same price as plain white,
I have found the helmet to be very quiet, comfortable and well ventilated. The drop-down sunvisor is really good, Easy to use and really clear.
I haven't used a micrometric buckle before, I find it really easy and works well. No more faffing with d rings.
Also fitted the centre comms unit which is nice and sleek.
Big thank you to sportsbikeshop for their no quibble exchanges of so many items. Most appreciated.

Shoei GT Air 3 - Recommended
06 March 2025 by Tom P
Really good experience with Sportsbikeshop. Needed a new lid and spent some time with Sue (MK) to get the right fit. For me that was the GT Air 3. It's very comfortable, light, stable and quiet. You know your getting quality with this lid. The fitting service to make sure it was just right was excellent. Recommended.

Top Notch Shoei Helmet
14 February 2025 by David M
These Shoei helmets are such a good fit and what I like the most is that it is so easy to open the visor with the central release button! Love the colour and graphic designs of these too! Big thumbs up from me for comfort and the quick release strap too!

Looks lovely. Quality feel and finish. I've had Shoei helmets for years. This is the best yet. I like the way the visor opens from the centre, it's good for either hand when approaching a stop. Very comfortable and quiet as always.

Great helmet
18 December 2024 by Bilal I
this is my second shoei in 8 years. i love the craftsmanship and the quality of the bult ,i went a bit larger due to my egg shaped head. This is the first helmet i have with a micro strap but i don't see it being a del breaker. its actually better when you have gloves on. the guys at the Glasgow shop were extremely nice in helping me find the wright fit.

Fantastic upgrade from the GT aAir2
17 December 2024 by Ian S
Great helmet & a significant step up from my GT Air2. Central locking visor, thinner chin strap and amazing integrated comms.
The price, as always, the best in the market, quick delivery in a helmet safe box.
Well worth the investment.
Fit/sizing same as the FT Air2

Most comfortable helmet
14 December 2024 by Anonymous
The GT-3 is so comfortable, it's well constructed and the fit/size is spot on for me. No issues with the strap digging in ti my neck, everything feels good even when worn in.

Disappointing and Expensive
13 November 2024 by Alex R
Unfortunately one of the worst but yet most expensive helmets I've had.

When compared against an Arab Quantic and LS2 Advant X, the material quality doesn't feel close to either, given that the name implies good airflow, it really doesn't. Riding with the sun shield down at slow speeds is a no go, with all vents open it constantly steams up. Opening or closing the vents doesn't make any noticeable difference making summer somewhat unbearable.

Comfort out of the box was not great, again the contact materials feel somewhat average. Even after the Personal Fitting Service the fit and comfort was still some way off of the Arai out of the box.

The visor mechanism is horrendous, after a few weeks from new it would no longer lock down, adjusted by a Shoei dealership which fixed the issue for 3 weeks before returning. As of writing the helmet is on its way back to Shoei for repair (not hopeful)

Great Helmet, but Watch the Sizing
12 September 2024 by Issy
I had the GT Air 2 in a size small, which was a perfect fit. However, I found the GT Air 3 to be significantly tighter, and the chinstrap was not very adjustable. Overall, it's a great helmet, but be mindful of the sizing.

Not all they're made out to be. Speaker system that I purchased very expensive. AGV k5 lighter and less wind noise. Sorry SHOEI ..

Fits well
28 June 2024 by Andy B
I did have an Arai but after 20 years it was starting to feel like it was going to blow off. Changed to this Shoei which fits well and has some great features like the sun shield. I knocked a star off because I can't fit my Cardo Pak talk using the clip and will have to stick the mount to the helmet. Also chin strap digs in a little but perhaps I need to get used to the ratchet.

Great Helmet
28 June 2024 by Matthew E
Very comfortable which is to be expected with Shoei. Finish also excellent. The visor is noticeably stiffer than others I've had but not overly so.

The ratchet is quick and easy once adjusted using the buckle on the opposite side for setting the size.

Ventilation through the helmet is excellent, it's summer at the time of writing so haven't got the chin curtain in. A lot of manufacturers get the first visor notch totally wrong but Shoei get it just right with about 5mm.

An excellent helmet, premium quality, latest safety standard but unfortunately you pay for it.

A better version of the original.
22 June 2024 by Michael H
I have been using the GT-Air 1 for a number of years now and have always been happy with it, but 2 versions on and small changes make big differences- the comfort and visibility are better along with good ventilation and the newer ratchet chinstrap, a great helmet and worth the price in my opinion.

Great helmet

After having the original GT Air I thought I'd upgrade to the three. Great field of view from it , built in sun visor operates easily and wind noise is very low. I did have to fit the chin guard to stop the air buffeting underneath but perfect once fitted. Look forward to installing the Sena Radio to it once purchased in the existing hidden mounts.

Helmet arrived on time and can't fault the finish or fit of the helmet. Little bit of wind noise and you have to keep the visor shut as when it's even slightly open you get a lot of noise when doing your lifesaver. Would recommend sportsbike shop and even with the price promise I couldn't find the helmet cheaper elsewhere.

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.
