Shoei GT-Air III Scenario Helmet Item # 1748805
Description
The Shoei GT Air 3 Helmet represents the next generation of touring helmets. Starting in the wind tunnel, the sleek Advanced Integrated Matrix fibreglass 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, including a 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 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 ratcheting chin strap, hit the road, and go. The GT Air 3 is an unparalleled blend of sport, comfort and touring.

Worth the price
Flows a lot of air while riding upright yet still manages to be nice and quiet. Fits true to size. Includes a Pinlock shield. IMHO the gray color is basically silver, it's a little lighter than photos online. This replaces my Shoei RF-1200 and feels very similar to me.
The only downside for me is my prescription glasses are a little harder to slip in than they were with the old helmet, possibly because the interior padding is a different shape. That's a minor gripe though and I'm already adjusting after only a few rides.

Reliable Shoei Quality and Fit
If you like Shoei helmets, you'll like this one.
Sizing and fit is exactly what I expected based on my previous Shoei helmets. Quality is also excellent. Very stable even at high speeds without a large windscreen. Not silent, but I should be wearing ear plugs anyway.
The center-locking visor takes a little getting used to, but it's fine. Same with the operation of the internal sun visor with heavy gloves.
I like the new ratchet strap fastener better than the old D-ring system because you don't have to deal with the extra strap length, but it is a little fiddly adjusting the length of the strap initially.
I gave it four stars for "value for money" because it is expensive.
Note that if you are looking at the "Pearl Black" finish, it is a fully glossy finish with the subtle pearl sparkle. The pic on the website makes it look semi-matte.
