Shoei GT-Air 3 Hike Helmet

Shoei GT-Air 3 Hike Helmet Step right up to the latest benchmark in the touring helmet realm: the Shoei GT Air 3. Using an Advanced Integrated Matrix fiberglass shell, the GT Air 3 showcases a perfect blend between strength and weight savings. The helmet’s aerodynamic exterior benefits further from a full 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”. In the box, an included Pinlock lens insert maximizes the fog resistance of the CNS-1C face shield, and a retractable dark smoke QSV-2 sun visor 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 contender for long interstates, tight turns and everything in between. Aerodynamic Shell Design: Shoei’s top full-face touring helmet Revised gasket seal for even better protection from noise and weather intrusion 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 Three shell sizes: XS-MD, LG, XL-2XL CNS-1C Shield System: Clear CNS-1C three-dimensionally curved face shield is both wider and taller than the shield it replaces Includes CWR-1 Evo Pinlock Anti-Fog Lens insert Dual-ridge window bead increases contact with the shield to reduce wind noise Scratch-resistant shield coating 99.9% protection from harmful UV A&B rays Sun Shield Visor System: Built-in QSV-2 sun shield gives riders instant relief from sun glare in one quick motion 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: 3-D Max-Dry center pad and multi-layered, polyurethane foam cheek pads Chin curtain prevents wind entry and reduces noise Cheek pads are replaceable or removable for maintenance Eyeglass compatible interior E.Q.R.S. (Emergency Quick-Release System) helps emergency medical personnel to remove the helmet Micro Ratchet Chin-Strap: 100% stainless steel micrometric ratcheting chin strap Quick, smooth and easy to operate Safety Certification: DOT Note: Due to manufacturer restrictions, Shoei products can only be shipped to addresses within the United States.
