ShoeiGT-Air II Full Face Motorcycle Helmet

Got this for my husband for his birthday 🎂. Good fit. He loves the built in/retractable sunglasses. Good ventilation. Quality company known for safety.

Shoei is a great helmet, both in comfort and safety! It looks terrific and fits perfectly- I'm much more likely to wear it always when it's this good!

I needed a helmet that would accommodate my prescription glasses, 56 yrs young and just starting to wear glasses. My bell qualifier dlx mips just didn't work well with glasses at all. So I made this purchase based on others reviews when it comes to wearing glasses with this helmet, and they were right on. Great fitting helmet, light weight, works great with prescription glasses. Mine are Ray-Ban prescription sunglasses and Costa regular prescription glasses. Very happy with this helmet!

First the pros. Exteremly well made and comfortable helemt, no hot spots for intermediate oval shaped heads. Fit and finish is what you would expect in such a high price helmet. The internal visor is a godsend, I no longer have to check weather and decided which visor to snap on each morning before heading out. Pinlock works great, no fogging. Coming from a scorpion r420, I think the noise is about the same, but who cares you should wear ear plugs no matter what, wind levels above 60 mph in any helemt is going to cause serious earing damage after a short time... The airflow is great, i can feel lots of air around my head and can turn it off by adjusting the vents. Very pleased with the helemt and shoei brand.Now the con- Sena. This company is terrible, there speakers suck and if you want to listen to music using the slr2 good luck unless you standing still and like to pretend you are listening to music from a Coke can. Absolutely garbage, Shoei please dump Sena as your bluetooth comms provider or at least demand they update the SLR2 driver and speakers. My 30k which would only work after purchasing the "HD speakers" is not supposed to mount to this but after trialing the SLR2 and finding it completely useless for music, communicating or navigation. I decided to take my old 30k and give it new life, on it went fairly easily and in a good position, defintley not as sleek as the SLR2 but I can hear music and navigation at high speeds(only with HD speakers). I almost didn't buy this helmet because it had been tainted by Sena but shoei quality makes up for there dumb decision in partnering with Sena. Hopefully this helemet will last me at least 5 years and by that time Cardo will have something that integrates into a shoei helemt, if its still sena I will be finding another helemt cause the 30k tho better with hd speakers, is still terrible and I will never buy another product from them. Shoei do better, develop your own comms system or use cardo, Sena is doing everything they can to not evolve there product but still take over market share.

I purchased the Shoei GT AirII in part to a video review showing this helmet had one of the best wind noise isolation characteristics done using a dB meter. I also like that later I can install a bluetooth communication system (SENA SRL Mesh) into the helmet. After riding around for a couple months, I can confirm the helmet does an exceptional job at keeping wind noise to a minimum at highway speeds (70MPH). It has good ventilation. I wear hard contact lenses and need to keep air from blowing directly into my eyes, drying them out, and this helmet does just that.The wind shield also optically corrects for the curvature of the shield giving you a very good view as if the shield wasn't there. I was quiet impressed with this feature; never experienced it before and now that I have, it's a must on any future helmets.My only CON is the flip down sun visor doesn't work as well as sunglasses do in when riding into morning sunrises or evening sunsets. The sun visor works well when the sun is higher in the sky, no problem. I just throw on some sunglasses for situations where more direct sun in the face is the case.I should also mention I'm happy with the look of the helmet and its ability to be aerodynamic. I can easily turn my head to look around while at highway speeds and not feel like a bubble head or get whip lash.Last, but not least, I understand that shoei will provide different foam padding to adjust the fitment. Since I bought here, on amazon, this wasn't an option for me but my understanding is if you go to a brick and mortar shop that is a shoei distributor that they can fine tune fitment. I found the fitment perfect for me.
