It’s time to replace my trusty Shoei GT-Air (just checked the label, and it rolled off the production line in February 2014). I’m a bit of a data nerd, and over the life of my lid, I’ve worn it at least 843 days. With an initial purchase price of $610, that works out to a daily cost-per-wear of $0.72. Not too shabby, and a pretty decent investment.
Fortunately, Shoei’s released the latest version of my lid, the GT-Air II, just in time. I just preordered my new lid from Revzilla and it should be in my hands by the end of March. Naturally, an unboxing and first impressions review will be coming.
In the meantime, here’s a whole lot of info and tech specs direct from Shoei for your reading pleasure.
And can I just say how stoked I am that they’re hanging on to my first GT-Air’s color scheme (photo courtesy of Revzilla/Shoei)??
