Why buy the Shoei Neotec 3 Graphics + Cardo Packtalk-S from The Helmet Shop?
Most retailers ship the helmet and the headset in separate boxes and leave the installation, charging and pairing to you. At The Helmet Shop, we install, charge and test every Bluetooth headset in the helmet before it ships. When two helmets are ordered together, we pair the two headsets to each other, so rider and passenger (or two riding partners) are talking within seconds of opening the boxes.
- No tools, no wiring, no hunting for the speaker pockets
- No waiting for a first charge
- No pairing sequences or app setup required to start talking
- A genuine Shoei helmet and a genuine Cardo headset with full manufacturer warranties
About the Shoei Neotec 3
The Shoei Neotec 3 is Shoei's flagship modular helmet: a flip-up chin bar lets it work as an open-face (jet) helmet at a stop and a full-face helmet on the move, and it's designed to operate easily even with winter gloves.
- Flip-up mechanism – switch between full-face and open-face, easy to operate with gloves.
- AIM shell + multi-density EPS – layered organic and multi-composite fibers for shock absorption with optimal rigidity.
- CNS-3C shield – center lock keeps it secure; redesigned shape improves sealing against wind and noise with minimal optical distortion.
- QSV-2 sun visor – 5 mm larger for more coverage and less light distraction.
- High-performance ventilation – closable brow and chin intakes with insect filter and rear exhaust outlets.
- Stainless steel micro ratchet – lighter, easier chinstrap that adjusts the same every time.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Cardo Packtalk-S already installed in the Neotec 3?
Yes. Every Shoei Neotec 3 Graphics + Cardo Packtalk-S ships with the Cardo Packtalk-S installed in the helmet by The Helmet Shop. We also fully charge the headset and test the speakers, microphone, controls and Bluetooth connection before it leaves our shop, so it's ready to ride out of the box.
If I order two helmets, will the headsets talk to each other?
Yes. When two helmet-and-headset combos are ordered together, we pair the two headsets to each other (Cardo DMC mesh) before shipping. Power them on and you can talk to your passenger or riding partner right away – no manuals or pairing steps needed.
Does the Cardo Packtalk-S fit the Neotec 3?
Yes. The Cardo Packtalk-S is designed for Shoei's Gen 3 helmets – the Neotec 3, GT-Air 3 and J-Cruise 3 – and integrates through the SHOEI Comlink system with no externally mounted unit. It does not fit older helmets such as the Neotec 2 or GT-Air 2.
How many riders can the Cardo Packtalk-S connect to?
Up to 31 riders on Cardo's 2nd-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC), with a range of up to 1 mile between two units. It can also connect to other brands over Bluetooth.
How long does the Cardo Packtalk-S battery last?
Cardo rates the Packtalk-S at up to 13 hours. Fast charging gives about 2 hours of talk time from a 20-minute charge, a full charge takes about 2 hours, and you can charge while riding.
Packtalk-S or 4X-S – which Cardo should I choose?
Choose the Packtalk-S if you ride in groups: it uses mesh for up to 31 riders and is IP67 waterproof. The 4X-S is the lower-cost option for riding with a passenger or a few friends, connecting up to 4 riders over Bluetooth. Both use 40 mm Sound by JBL and fit the Neotec 3, GT-Air 3 and J-Cruise 3.
What sizes are available?
This combo is offered in XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL. Shoei helmets fit true to head circumference – measure around your head just above the eyebrows and choose the matching size from Shoei's size chart. Contact The Helmet Shop if you're between sizes.
Can I buy the helmet and headset separately?
Yes, but the combo saves you the installation work: The Helmet Shop installs the Cardo Packtalk-S, routes the speakers and microphone, charges the battery and tests everything, and pairs two-helmet orders together.
Is the warranty affected by installation?
No. You receive a genuine Shoei helmet and a genuine Cardo headset, each covered by its manufacturer's warranty. The Cardo Packtalk-S carries a 3-year Cardo warranty.
