Yet another new lid thread

[Guth_imp]

I have the same helmet in silver in medium, certainly snugger fit than my other Shoei mediums.
I too like the pinlock, internal sun shade and Shoe quality and feel.
Was thinking of getting my wife one but not sure she rides with me enough to justify a $500 helmet, last year she only went out twice on the motorcycle.....

The thing about the GT-Air is how much the shape "closes in" towards the bottom. It does make it more difficult to get the helmet on. But once you do, it's really nice having it fit more snug on the bottom half.

As far as the question regarding the ability of the white helmets to fend off heat, I couldn't say. I've only ever worn white helmets.
