Why riders pick the Shoei GT-Air 3
The GT-Air 3 is Shoei's flagship touring full face with a drop-down sun visor, built for touring, long days in the saddle and changing light. Every helmet is hand-built and individually inspected in Japan, and Shoei molds several shell sizes per model so the helmet is proportioned to your head instead of padded out with a thicker liner.

Fit & Sizing
Shoei runs true to size in an intermediate-oval shape. Measure the widest part of your head about an inch above your eyebrows and match it to our helmet sizing charts. A new helmet should feel firm — the liner breaks in roughly 15–20% over the first few rides, so if you are between sizes, size down. If the shell fits but the cheeks feel loose, a thicker cheek pad set is a far cheaper fix than a new helmet; see our cheek pad and liner guide. New to helmet buying?

Shields, Pinlock® & Replacement Parts
The GT-Air 3 uses the CNS-1C shield — it is not interchangeable with other Shoei shield families, so check the model before you order. Clear, tinted, mirrored and photochromic options are listed in our Shoei shield and Pinlock guide, and anti-fog inserts are in Pinlock anti-fog inserts. Cheek pads, comfort liners, base plates, breath guards and chin curtains are in helmet parts.
Bluetooth & Communication
This helmet is set up for the Shoei Comlink system and optional Sena SRL3. Universal Sena and Cardo systems fit as well. We install communication systems in-house before we ship — order the helmet with the headset already fitted, wired and tested through our Shoei headset installation service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size Shoei GT-Air 3 should I order?
Measure the widest part of your head about an inch above the eyebrows and compare it to our sizing charts. Shoei runs true to size in an intermediate-oval shape. If you fall between sizes, size down — the liner breaks in 15–20%.
Is the Shoei GT-Air 3 DOT or Snell certified?
This model is certified to: DOT FMVSS No. 218.
Does the GT-Air 3 have a built-in sun visor?
Yes — a QSV-2 drop-down internal sun shield operated by a slider on the left of the shell, so you can ride into changing light without swapping shields or carrying sunglasses.
Which shield fits the GT-Air 3?
The CNS-1C. Shoei shields are model-specific, so a shield from another Shoei family will not fit. See the Shoei shield guide or call us with your model and we will confirm the right one.
Can I install Bluetooth in the GT-Air 3?
Yes. It is set up for the Shoei Comlink system and optional Sena SRL3, and universal Sena and Cardo systems also fit. We can install and test the system before the helmet ships.
How long does a Shoei helmet last?
Shoei recommends replacing a helmet about five years from first use or seven years from the manufacture date, and immediately after any impact — the EPS liner crushes once and does not recover.
