Shoei GT-Air 3 Helmet

The Shoei GT Air 3 Helmet represents the next generation of touring helmets. Starting in the wind tunnel, the sleek Advanced Integrated Matrix fiberglass shell showcases a balance of strength and lightness. Using "Silent Ride Engineering", the aerodynamic ride of the GT Air 3 are further supported by the 3-D Max-Dry cheek pad and liner system, included chin curtain and optional, shell-integrated SRL3 Bluetooth system (sold separately). 

The GT-Air 3 ships with a clear, fog-resistant CNS-1C face shield with Pinlock A Pinlock lens is made to enjoy a fog-free ride. It is based on two key principles to ensure a fog-free vision. The moisture absorbing surface of the lens effectively attracts and stores water molecules, while the airtight seal creates a thermal barrier together preventing condensation of the visor. The system is kept in place by positioning the lens between two adjustable pins, making Pinlock the number one anti-fog solution for helmets. lens insert included. An internal drop-down QSV-2 sun visor provides wide, full spectrum coverage from harsh solar rays. 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.  Tighten the micrometric A micrometric fastener is an adjustable fastener commonly used in helmets, pants, boots, etc. Also known as "micro ratchet" or just plain "ratchet fastener", the system uses a spring-loaded ratchet mechanism that interlocks with an opposing strip of toothed metal or plastic. It is best known for its ease of adjustment - especially with gloved hands. In helmets, it takes the place of the classic double D-ring closure. ratcheting chin strap, hit the road, and go. The GT Air 3 is an unparalleled blend of sport, comfort and touring. 

Aerodynamic Shell Design:

• Aerodynamic properties maximized through extensive wind tunnel testing and professional riders’ feedback
• Multi-piece EPS liner Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, energy absorbing foam. In the helmet industry, EPS is the most common means of energy management to protect the brain. Generic EPS is often referred to as “Styrofoam” (a trademarked name owned by the Dow Chemical Company). Premium helmet producers utilize multi-density EPS liners to balance comfort, safety and performance. 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):
