About this deal

The only splash of color on this colorway is the orangey-red chinbar release lever. Otherwise, it’s monochrome all around. I must have spent 10 minutes trying to get the helmet to pair before I discovered that “pairing mode” isn’t actually the mode to be in if you want to pair your phone. Sound & Microphone Quality The chinbar vent is dual purpose: it brings airflow into the helmet to keep you cool, and it also keeps the visor free of fog. I haven’t had the ability to ride the Neotec II in wet weather (yet, Calgary is living in a drought at the moment), so I’m unsure of how changes in humidity would impact the system’s effectiveness. I will update the review when I have an opportunity. Close helmet vents during cold weather my noggin is warm: hot weather, open vents with the modular flipped up, so cool;yes the dark sliding face screen is great in sunny times when dusk starts then dark screen is slide into helmet storage space & modular helmet clear screen is employed.

Also worth noting is that, so far, I’m the only person that’s tried it on to express said discomfort. Perhaps I’m an anomaly? FitI used one last year and mostly liked it. Comfy like you expect a premium-price helmet to be, beautifully put together and all-the-more-safe because by being so comfy and easy to wear, the rider stays fresh and alert for longer. Shoei call this ‘passive safety’ and I’m a big fan. My issues with the original GT were that the drop-down visor was a bit small and didn’t cut out enough light. Plus, it misted badly when dropped down and took a long while to clear. Adding another layer of plastic to look through compromises optical clarity (a problem on all lids with a drop-down visor).

I never ride without earplugs so this is subjective. The GT-Air II is very quiet with plugs in place and there’s plenty of room in the padding around the ears to make it easy getting the GT-Air on and off without disturbing ear plugs. The Neotec II will get plenty of use this summer, so I’ll post an update at the end of September and see how the finish has held up. Fit & Comfort Installation of the system is easy – taking about 10-15 minutes the first time you do it – and the finished product looks great. Sound quality of both streaming audio/navigation and phone calls is pretty good. Calls are mostly clear at city speeds, and the person on the other end will hear you. Most people I talked to were genuinely surprised when I told them I was doing 30 – 50 mph on my motorcycle. Pleasantly, air from the chin vent does not land directly on the eyes and avoids eye irritation- something I’ve experienced with other helmets. Micro-Ratchet Strap

The handle is stainless steel & the finish is quite good with no sharp edges. Owners should bear in mind though, the other components are not stainless steel &, therefore, will last longer if occasionally oiled/greased as appropriate for individual usage of the tool. Shoei’s original GT Air was their first premium helmet not aimed at sports riders. A drop down sun visor brought convenience and judging by the number of them I see sitting on tables at bike meets, the UK riding public liked what they saw. I managed to scuff the paint doing I’m not sure what , as I haven’t dropped the helmet or hit anything that I’m aware of. A layer of clear coat may have prevented the scuff in question, but I suppose I’ll never know what caused it in the first place. Bummer. This compact 1/4" hex' drive ratchet looked good to me before I even got it out of the bag. I know from bitter previous experiences though, looks (& brands) aren't everything, especially where tools are concerned.

As the SRL is designed for the Neotec, the buttons look as if they always came with the helmet. There are no bulky control units on the side of the helmet, or any other visual indicator (aside from the microphone) that you’ve installed anything at all.The fit is unchanged with the addition of the SRL- the earpieces and microphone blend right into the overall design of the helmet and do not intrude in any way.
