Just bought myself a new full face helmet called the Shoei GT Air.

I read and checked as many reviews as possible before buying this helmet - and by far the GT got heaps of praise!!

Apart from the obvious safety reason, I bought this helmet because of the drop down inner tinted visor and the fact that the GT keeps most of the wind noise out thanks to its design.

Here is one of a number of YOUTUBE reviews on the Shoei GT Air:

Does wearing glasses interfere with the sun visor on either helmet?

 

[gerry]

If you mean, if glasses fit under the sun visor: yes, they do.
I wear varyiocal bike glasses, perfect !!

Excellent. Thanks. The external sun shield in my Nolan gets a little noisy.

Just thinking about a Full Face verses an Open Face - it would have to be better protection which includes not having your nose burnt by the sun - I learnt the hard way!

 

[Supertramp]

Sun?

we dont have that in the UK . . .

That's why I've choosen the Evoline, it has both...

 

[penner]

nice grab! I think anything from Shoei is going to get pretty good reviews

The brand has a standard to uphold.

I have a snell full face helmet I was required to have for Porsche track days. I'm not sure if that is still good for road use on a motorcycle. Its about 10 years old I think. I do however, have a couple of DOT approved Nolan helmets I purchased for the recent MSF course. One is an open face, kinda retro Half Helmet, and the other is modular, with a full face shield. Once I get used to the NineT enough to really take it on the road, I probably should get a new full face like a Shoei or Arai.

would you guys ever ride with one of these?

 

[TWhalen]

Ride what, a horse? I do like the looks of open face and half helmets, but I switched to full face. Not to say I would't be dead in a wreck, but if I live ill have a face.

No Bl**dy chance!! Leave those things for the Harley dudes

I'd like to hear some updates as time goes by with that helmet. Can I safely assume that it is compatible with the pin lock insert? Or does it come with antifog coating on the clear visor! I really like the idea of no visor change come dusk. Clever choice, Café Racer

Half helmets are the best for people with half brains .......

 

[Mr. Bones]

Guilty as charged.
