Features:

QSV- 1 Visor

QSV-1, an inner sun visor made of polycarbonate is adopted to SHOEI full-face helmet for the first time. This sun visor with minimum distortion has a high performance rate, conforming to EN1836, European standard for sunglasses.

Quietness

Quietness is assured by repeated experiments in Shoei's in-house wind tunnel facility. To lessen fatigue caused especially by noise during long rides, attention has been given to improving aerodynamics. Interiors fit to the head perfectly without unnecessary gaps. Enclosed chin curtain blocks wind for further quietness.

CNS-1 Shield

The CNS-1 shield with minimum distortion is injection-moulded. It connects firmly to a helmet through a 2-step actions of "Down" and "Press."

Window beading in a double lip structure blocks entry of uncomfortable wind or rainwater.

Cleaning and fixing is very easy; no tool is necessary at all. Fixing and removing the shield can be done easily by one touch. You can clean dirt during a tour with no stress.

Pinlock EVO lens

PINLOCK® fog-free system is standardized to secure good vision, minimizing fogging under the shield during bad weather like rain.

An air chamber between the shield and the anti-fog sheet avoids fogging along with the moisture absorption feature of the sheet itself.

The sheet covers up to the top end of a shield. It can be easily fixed and removed.

Microratchet type Chinstrap

GT-Air is equipped with a micro ratchet type chinstrap buckle whose main parts are made of high-quality stainless steel to secure firm strength. Fixing and removing can be made easily even with a gloved hand. Fine-tuning is also a breeze.

Claws hang in 2 points to hold firmly. A buckle can be released only when the release lever is pulled to a certain extent to avoid an unintentional release.

Ventilation

Ventilation can be opened and closed easily by a gloved hand by moving a large shutter cover. A large front ventilation absorbs air and effectively expels hot air around the shield.

Rear outlet is designed to consider different riding positions and angles.

3D Full Support Inner IV + E.Q.R.S.

Inner is assembled using various polyurethanes. The surface of the fabric absorbs moisture. Quick drying and raised fibre has a comfortable texture.

Emergency Quick Release System

In the event that the rider needs medical assistance, this system allows another person to quickly provide medical help. Although prompt action is required when offering medical assistance to the rider, the rider's helmet must be removed with great care.

The E.Q.R.S. provides a special ribbon on the cheek pads that can be pulled during a medical emergency to easily detach the cheek pads from the helmet. By pulling off the cheek pad that holds the rider's cheek in place, the helmet can be removed from the rider's head with ease.

1. Measurement

Measuring the head is a starting point for the entire sizing procedure. The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately two centimetres above the eyebrows in front and at a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement. Take several measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

2. Try On

Once you have determined your preliminary tape measurement, select the helmet that is closest to the tape measurement and try on the helmet. If it is between sizes, round up to the next largest one.

The correct procedure to put on the helmet:

Grasp the helmet by the chin straps, with the front of the helmet towards you and the top of the helmet facing down.
Place the thumbs on the inside surface of the straps and balance the helmet with the index fingers.
Spread the helmet apart with the hands, and slip down over the head.

If the helmet slides down on the head with no resistance, you have your first indication that it may be too large. If it will not slide down over the head at all it is too small. Many people unfamiliar with helmets are reluctant to pull down if they meet resistance as the helmet goes on, however if it is just snug going on, we recommend to get the helmet on. Only if the helmet is impossible to put on should you move up to the next size, as helmets that go on snug generally fit very well once all the way on. It is a fact that most people will select a helmet that is too large for them.

3. Horizontal and Vertical Movement Check

Once you are wearing the helmet, you should look carefully at the way it fits. Check to see if the cheek pads are in contact with the cheeks. Is there excess pressure on the cheeks? Look for gaps between the temples and the brow pad. Check the back of the helmet where the neck roll (if the helmet has one) makes contact with the neck. Does it touch at all? Or is it pushing the helmet away at the rear causing it to roll down over the eyes in front. After you have made your visual check, grab the helmet in your hands - one on either side - and while holding your head steady try to rotate the helmet from side to side. Note any movement of the skin while doing this, as well as the amount of resistance to movement. Next, check movement up and down, again noting skin movement and resistance. If in either test there was little or no skin movement, and/or the helmet moved very easily, the helmet is too large. A properly fitted helmet will cause the skin to move as the helmet moves. And, it will feel to the wearer as if evenly distributed pressure is being continuously exerted around the head.

NOTE: Helmets are a little like shoes, in that they do break-in a little. For this reason the best attitude to have when fitting is that the helmet should be as snug as you can stand to wear it.

4. Retention Check

This test may be a little uncomfortable, but it is very important to check. Fasten the chin strap tightly, hold your head steady, and grab the rear bottom edge with your fingers. Then try to roll the helmet off your head. If it comes off, it is undoubtedly too large. WARNING: Do not buy a helmet that can be rolled off the head with the strap fastened.

5. Pressure Point Check

Finally, unfasten the chin strap and remove the helmet. Immediately after the helmet has been removed, observe coloration of the skin of the forehead and cheeks. A reddening of the skin in a small area may indicate a pressure point. Pressure points sometimes are not noticed by the wearer for several minutes, or even hours later. They sometimes cause headaches, and are at the least, uncomfortable. If you notice a pressure point, but cannot remember experiencing discomfort there while wearing the helmet, put the helmet back on for a few minutes, paying particular attention to the anticipated pressure point. If you experience pressure point discomfort either time, go to the next larger size, repeating steps four and five.
