Shoei GT-Air 3 Helmet
The Shoei GT Air 3 Helmet marks a step forward in touring helmet design. The Advanced Integrated Matrix fiberglass shell showcases a perfect blend between strength and weight reduction. The helmet’s sleek exterior benefits further from a 3-D Max-Dry interior liner and cheek pads, included chin curtain, and an optional, shell-integrated SRL3 Bluetooth communication system (available separately) – an ethos that Shoei terms “Silent Ride Engineering”.
Equipped with a fog-resistant CNS-1C face shield and an included Pinlock lens, the GT Air 3 ensures clear vision on every journey. It also features a QSV-2 internal sun visor that offers wide coverage against the sun’s glare. Versus the model that it replaces, at speed the GT Air 3 sports an 11% decrease in lift and – most importantly – a 6% reduction in frontal wind resistance over the GT Air 2. Secured with a micrometric ratcheting chin strap, this GT Air 3 is a fusion of sport, comfort, and touring that is ready for every curve.
Aerodynamic Shell Design:
– Shoei’s top full-face touring helmet

– Real world and wind tunnel testing to improve aerodynamic properties – exceeding riders’ feedback from GT-Air 2 predecessor
– Firmer shield detents to keep shield in place in every scenario
– Multi-piece EPS liner enhances impact absorption and ventilation
– Molded air spoiler reduces drag and lift as well as diminishes pressure on the rider’s neck while riding at speed
– Integrated comm system base accepts the Shoei SRL3 Bluetooth Communicator by Sena
Advanced Integrated Matrix (AIM):
– High performance fiber materials combined with elastic organic fibers to create a shell structure that is ultra-lightweight, rigid and resilient

– Visor meets ANSI Z80.3-2010 standard for non-prescription eyeglasses
– Large and easy to reach slider activates the 3D injection-molded inner sun shield
– Distortion-free shield blocks 99% of harmful UV rays
Ventilation System:
– Redesigned upper air intake vent positioned to maximize air volume into the helmet interior
– Enlarged lower intake vent with filter reduces shield fogging and increases ventilation
– Upper and lower intake vents are easy to operate even with gloved hands
– Rear/neck vents allow for effective air exhaust
– Breath guard and chin curtain included
Interior System:
