The SHOEI GT-Air 3 Hike is crafted for riders who love the open road, with a design that echoes the contours of natural landscapes. Built for safety and comfort, it features a shock-absorbent shell, multi-density EPS liner, and an aerodynamic shape that reduces wind noise.
The integrated sun visor keeps your vision clear in changing light, while the high-performance ventilation system ensures a cool, comfortable ride. Detachable and washable pads allow for a personalized fit, and the seamless Shoei Comlink system keeps you connected throughout your journey. Whether you're navigating new terrain or cruising highways, the GT-Air 3 Hike is the perfect companion for touring adventures.
Why riders pick the Shoei GT-Air 3 Hike
The Hike is a graphic finish on the standard Shoei GT-Air 3 shell, so you get exactly the same shell construction, ventilation, interior and safety certification as the solid colours — only the paint changes. It is built for touring, long days in the saddle and changing light, and every colorway in this listing shares the same CNS-1C shield and replacement parts.

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 Hike graphic different from the solid-colour GT-Air 3?
No — only the paint. The shell, EPS liner, ventilation, interior, shield and certification are identical to the solid-colour GT-Air 3. Graphic finishes are priced slightly higher because of the extra paint process.
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.
Is the Shoei GT-Air 3 DOT or Snell certified?
This model is certified to: DOT FMVSS No. 218.
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.
