Shoei GT-Air II

I live in Florida and this helmet is cool and super comfortable. Awesome product. Fits true to size chart.

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.

Great helmet, good priceHighly recommend this helmet. Fit is great, doesn’t feel like a fish bowl. Peripheral vision is very good. Wind noise is minimal

This helmet shines in all areas.It's much lighter than my previous full face helmet, while at the same time being much safer. It well exceeds the US DOT rating, as well as exceeding the much stricter European standards.The aerodynamics are excellent. It glides though the air much slicker than my previous helmet, meaning less vibration and noise. The wind buffeting my head when following both autos and semis is so minimal it was only noticeable because I was looking for it. It also doesn't pull or get louder when turning to look over your shoulder.The outer visor is crystal clear with no distortion, and adjusts through the various settings with fluid, but firm and reassuring clicks. The included pinlock insert is a great addition, as it saved me from having to buy it separately. The inner tinted visor is also clear of any visual distortions, and operates with a smooth action on the slider, and locks in position.Along with the pinlock insert, it also includes the removable chin curtain the preforms its role with no complaints.The airflow is nice. The vents are very easy to find and operate with gloves and air flows nicely around the helmet when opened. The only issue I've noticed personally is that with the chin curtain installed, there is minimal airflow, and even with the outer visor up, my tinted inner one fogged quickly. Can easily be fixed by applying an anti-fog coating to it yourself, or simply sliding it up when stopped.Another driving feature for me was being ready to accept the SENA SLR2 comms. It installed easily with the most effort coming from reinstalling the cheek pads. It doesn't change the aerodynamic profile of the helmet, meaning no whistling or vibrations at speed which can increase noise inside the helmet, or potential weak points in an accident.I should also mention it's the most comfortable full face helmet I've worn. The pads are soft yet firm enough to ensure a snug fit. They also allow for good airflow within.There are perfectly suitable more budget friendly helmets to choose from, but as someone coming from one of those I'd recommend splurging for this. It's better in every way over my last one, and a purchase you won't regret. This helmet has been out for a few years and has many reviews online to read/watch. I did quite a bit myself before sending the extra for this one. It beat out most other helmets in many areas (some others did have a higher "score" in specific areas), and was always at the top when it came to overall "scores".

This is the best helmet I've ever owned.very nice and comfortable

Most comfortable helmet I ever had. They are not cheap though.Not sure about the Sena headset communicator option though, it's out of date and doesn't offer anything more than cheaper alternatives to be honest.

This is an amazing helmet. It fits me well and i love the sunvisor part that flips down. I am the passenger and have to wear prescription glasses so this is a great feature. I love the ratchet chin strap and it is easy to put on and remove. I’ve had other helmets in the past and the wind sound is about the same. I still hear it but it is not bothersome.

It's lightweight yet sturdy. I love the internal sun visor, it really gives me flexibility when I ride. It even comes with an anti fog shield. High cost, but definitely worth it.
