The Shoei GT-Air 3 Lilt: a touring helmet with a built-in sun visor, a Pinlock lens in the box, and retro-inspired styling. Built for long days in the saddle, not just the ride to the next stoplight.
What the features mean on the road
- Wind-tunnel-tested shape: an aerodynamic profile that reduces noise. Why it matters: a quieter ride at highway speed.
- Built-in QSV-2 sun visor: an enlarged internal sun shield. Why it matters: sun protection without packing a second shield.
- CNS-1C Pinlock shield system, lens included: why it matters: clearer vision in fog and cold.
- Multiple vents with air extraction: airflow to keep you comfortable on multi-day rides.
- AIM shell and multi-density EPS liner: an impact-absorbing shell and liner.
- Micro-ratchet chin strap and E.Q.R.S.: easy to adjust with gloves on, and the emergency quick-release system helps responders remove the cheek pads.
- Breath guard and chin curtain included.
Comms-ready
The GT-Air 3 is designed for Shoei’s Comlink system, which integrates with the optional Sena SRL 3 for simpler installation. Ask us which communicator suits your riding and how it fits this helmet.
Fit: intermediate oval
The GT-Air 3 is an intermediate-oval helmet. Shoei sizes it by head circumference, and the right size still has to be tried on.
A good fit if you tour or commute long distances and want a sun visor built in.
Look elsewhere if you want a sport-focused shape without a sun visor: ask us about the Shoei RF-1400.
