Shoei GT Air 2
 
Does anyone have a Shoe GT Air 2 helmet? I find mine really hot with has next to no airflow (ironic, given the name). I tried switching the top vent both ways on the motorway today and honestly couldn't tell the difference (I've also tried the same in cold weather) - I'm beginning to think mine has a vent blocked or something similar.

Opinions appreciated, as long as they don't involve buying a new helmet!

On my Shoei its possible to unclip the entire inne liningl exposing the air holes, with a fine tube you could try blowing into the holes and then see ifvyou can detect any air outlet. After saying that I don't find it that obvious whether the vents are in the open or closed position

My shoei neotec has exhaust vents at the rear, did the Air2 have those? Are they open?

My Shoei NXR has an exhaust vent at the rear too. It needs to be open for the venting to be effective.

Time to redouble your efforts to grow older disgracefully! :D

The rear vents on the Air 2 are fixed, and can't be opened/closed. I pulled the top vent apart, and it's not blocked, so unless the rear vents are the problem, I guess it's just a hot helmet.

Can you blow air through the rear vents into the helmet and feel it coming through the front?
