New Gear Inbound: Shoei GT-Air II Redux!
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 […]
