SMK GTJ Tourer Open Face Matt Helmet
The SMK GTJ Tourer Matt is an open face helmet with a matt finish, touring comfort with a flat finish. It is certified to ISI, DOT and ECE 22.06.
Sizes S to XXL on two shell sizes, with a one year manufacturer warranty.
Matt suits a bike that has seen some miles. The GTJ Tourer in a flat finish keeps glare low on long, bright days and hides the dust that comes with them.
It is the touring member of SMK's GTJ open face series. See the gloss Tourer if you would like the same helmet with a shine. The full line is in our SMK GTJ helmets.
On the Tourer, angular panels over the crown give way to a grid of tiny dots that spreads across the side, with bold SMK lettering running up the shell.
In use
The padded chin strap, washable liner and speaker pockets turn a day in the saddle into something more comfortable, and a headset keeps navigation clear.
If you plan trips with a pillion, a luggage rack and a route, a helmet that stays comfortable from the first hour to the last one is worth more than any graphic.

Pick your size from the chart above after measuring your head one inch above the eyebrows. The M shell, used for S and M, weighs around 1,450 g. The L shell, used for L to XXL, weighs around 1,550 g.

Maintenance
Clean the matt shell with mild soap and a soft damp cloth, and skip spray polishes. Hand wash the liner and dry it in shade. Our helmet maintenance guide explains the rest.
