Helmet advice please

[oddshapedballs]

I'm looking for a new helmet, my HJC Rpha10 Plus has been brilliant, but after approx. 20k in it it's started looking a bit worn inside and out.
I'm considering either the Schuberth S2 or Shoei Air GT, both fit me well and have the integrated sun visor I want in my next helmet.
Does anyone have experience of one or both of these they'd like to share?

I nearly purchased the GT Air after trying one on, they do seem to get great reviews from everyone that wears one. I also liked their internal sun visor but in the end I got a Shoei Neotec as I preferred the flip front.

I do love my GT Air probably the best helmet I've had to date (this is compared to older full face Arias and the like) .
The only minor gripes are it gets a touch misty in early damp conditions until its warmed up inside as the lower chin vent doesn't seem to blow that much air through, I also think the 1st visor open spot is too much and it clamps shut if trying to just have it cracked open. Cant comment on the schuberts as I've never had one but I did think about them before choosing the GTAir but was put off by being unable to try one locally and price seemed a touch stiff.

Friend has been using the GT Air for a few months now without any complaints, lovely helmet but they don't fit me as well as Arai so I have just bought a Quantum ST which comes with a free Arai ProShade at the moment

I've just bought a Neotec 2 to replace my BMW system 5, which I believe is made by Schuberth.

No 2 ways about it the BMW helmet is far better. Too late for me this time but it will be BMW/Schubert for me in the future.

Shoei GT - no question, just buy it

Agree....if it fits your head shape I would thoroughly recommend.

I need a new helmet and was thinking about an Arai Quantum ST as I have an old Arai Condor that's really comfortable, what do you think of it? do the vents work and is it noisy? I'll just accept the useless visor mechanism.

I looked at getting the Shoei but didn't fit me quite right, would recommend it though from trying it on

I'm looking at buying a GTAir, but via internet. I've a XR1100, which is a perfect fit. Has anyone gone from an 1100 to GT, and if so, is the fit the same?
Thanks

After 4 Arais - I bought a GT Air about 3 weeks ago- So far very pleased with it.
