    Pinlocks

    After knocking my old lid down on the road I picked up my new helmet which came with a pinlock visor. The inner pinlocks are available in a variety of colours, originally I thought I'd be changing the colour frequently for weather conditions but realizing I never liked grey tinted visors, and the fact I live in a rainforest, I opted for a yellow to improve contrast in grey and flat light conditions.

    Well. There is ZERO fogging, locked tight, stop and go traffic, rain and 8C mouth breathing or not.- no fog. none.
    So if you ride in the rain, to me it's the actual solution to fog up that magic potions and mists have only promised.

    For the record the helmet is a medium Arai Signet Q, which has no breath guard.

    I agree...I've been using a clear pinlock visor for the past year and it works better than anything I've tried.

      Fog City has one that goes on with adhesive and works similarly. So you don't need a pinlock visor to be fog free.

        Hey Dogma, do you have a link? That could be a very popular item in these parts. I'll check Sound Rider.. But I couldn't find anything except for links to St John's and San Francisco pubs and restaurants..

          The last one I bought is constructed a little differently, but should work the same. I haven't really had a chance to test it yet, but it strikes me as slightly fragile. Cheap enough to try, though.

          Any of them will still fog if you stand around yakking on a cool evening with the visor up. Don't do that. You'll have to find a way to clean it dry it before you ride.
