Its large integrated QSV-2 sun visor deals with low sun properly, its ventilation network keeps the closed helmet cool, and its shell is quiet enough that riders regularly single it out as one of the most acoustically refined helmets on the market. Finished in gloss light silver, and rated a full five stars by SHARP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated \u003cstrong\u003e5 out of 5 stars by SHARP\u003c\/strong\u003e in its February 2024 test — the UK Department for Transport's independent programme, which lists it as a System (modular) helmet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eECE 22.06 P\/J dual homologation\u003c\/strong\u003e — certified both with the chin bar closed and with it locked open, so riding with the chin bar up is legal at moderate speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix) shell with a multi-density EPS liner system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge QSV-2 integrated sun visor, deployed steplessly and covering the usable field of view well below the eyeline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNS-3C visor with a tilted upper edge that keeps draught and rain out — Pinlock EVO anti-fog lens included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSHOEI COMLINK interface with pre-routed cabling and device recesses for the SENA SRL3 Mesh system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-ratchet chin strap and a stainless steel locking mechanism for the chin bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree outer shell sizes (XS–M | L | XL–XXL) for balanced weight distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eP\/J Homologation — What It Actually Means\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Neotec 3 carries dual \u003cstrong\u003eP\/J\u003c\/strong\u003e approval under ECE 22.06. \"P\" means it passed the full protective test with the chin bar closed, including the chin impact test, exactly like a full-face helmet. \"J\" means it also passed as a jet helmet with the chin bar locked open. \u003cstrong\u003eYou may therefore legally ride with the chin bar raised\u003c\/strong\u003e — something a P-only modular helmet does not allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice the raised chin bar creates noticeable drag above roughly 30 km\/h, so it is intended for slow going, traffic queues and stops rather than sustained riding. Closed is the recommended configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShell Construction and Safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outer shell is made from AIM — Advanced Integrated Matrix — combined with a polystyrene core assembled from elements of differing absorption characteristics, so impact energy is spread across the structure. A stainless steel mechanism locks the chin bar securely in the closed position. The slim chin strap uses a micro-ratchet buckle that is easy to operate with gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVisor System\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CNS-3C visor fitted as standard opens up an almost unrestricted horizontal and vertical field of view. Its characteristic upper edge, angled towards the shell, keeps draught and rain from creeping in. A centrally positioned locking mechanism opens and closes it without twisting, and the detent allows a gap-width opening for extra air on the move. Visor changes are tool-free thanks to the self-adjusting quick-change mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant when buying replacement visors: the Neotec 3 takes the CNS-3C. The CNS-3 from the Neotec II does not fit\u003c\/strong\u003e — the generations are not interchangeable, and this is a common and frustrating mis-purchase. The anti-fog Pinlock EVO DKS301 lens fits the CNS-3C and one is supplied with the helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe integrated QSV-2 sun visor deploys steplessly and covers the usable field of view almost completely, including below the eyeline. It can be swapped tool-free for an optional yellow-tinted, contrast-enhancing version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVentilation and Aerodynamics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntakes aimed directly into the airstream feed the deeply branched internal ventilation network, and a removable filter in the lower front vent keeps insects out. The raised vent controls can be operated with thick winter gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing: Shoei has deliberately tuned the Neotec 3 towards quietness rather than maximum airflow. Independent testers consistently praise its acoustics — several call it one of the quietest helmets they have worn — while noting that ventilation is adequate rather than abundant. Smooth surfaces and transitions, an eccentric chin-bar movement that minimises panel gaps, and a smooth chin-to-shell transition all serve that same goal of reducing turbulence around the ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComfort and Interior\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three-dimensionally shaped centre pad, the pre-formed cheek pads with Noise Isolator and the chin strap cover are fully removable and washable. Cheek pads extended towards the back of the head, combined with removable ear pads, contribute significantly to noise damping. Centre and cheek pads are available in different thicknesses, and an insertable pad allows the vertical fit to be adjusted. The Neotec 3 follows Shoei's intermediate-oval head shape; riders who wear glasses report that temple arms slide into place without pressure points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead circumference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53–54 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55–56 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57–58 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59–60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61–62 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63–64 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure your head circumference approximately 2.5 cm above the eyebrows, around the widest part of the head.
