AIM-fibre open-face helmet with three shell sizes, an internal sun visor and a Pinlock-ready visor. Around 1,400 g in size M. ECE 22.06 approved.

Why it stands out

The J-Cruise 3 is Shoei’s open-face for town and relaxed roads. It keeps what makes Shoei’s full-faces good: an AIM fibre shell, three shell sizes and a top-level interior, with an internal sun visor.

Key figures

  • ECE 22.06 approved.
  • Around 1,400 g in size M.
  • Three shell sizes, XS to XXL.
  • Pinlock-ready visor (insert sold separately).

Our verdict

If you want an open-face and do not mind paying more, it is the most comfortable and best-finished in our comparison. Remember that no open-face protects your jaw: for fast roads, choose a full-face or flip-front.
