Late to the Pinlock party. Should'a gotten one AGES ago!

Ah, yes. As soon as I'm doing more than 50 (or sooner, on a windy day) down comes the visor to be either closed or cracked open.

Fully up at motorway speeds... I presume you're wearing glasses. Or don't mind bugs in your eyes.

I wear sun glasses almost all the time (except at night of course). I have the visor down at least over the eyes when I don't.

Himm. ok
On my Nolan it is a completely flat sheet.


But whatever. It works great.

Nolan doesn't use a silicone bead. The pinlock just fits flat against the visor - around the edges anyway. I think the whole airtight seal thing is not really essential, although without a good seal the fog can work it's way up under the pinlock - but it does take a while.

The issue with the no-bead Nolan is that "scratches" gradually form around the edges of the pinlock. Well they look like scratches, but I came to the conclusion that they are actually bits of pinlock stuck to the visor and they won't come off. Whenever I had rain come down the inside of my visor and get between pinlock and visor, I'd remove the pinlock and dry it well. This seemed to stop it sticking and getting "scratched". The silicone bead on other pinlocks seems to prevent this.

As a noob I was constantly fogged, had to stop and wait or ride with the visor up.

i put in the pinlok which was supplied with the helmet, so much better.

the amount of fogging reduced drastically......

still the odd misting on the outside of the visor from fog or slight dew, but wipe that away on the ride with wiper built into glove.

obviously different ones for different helmets, well worth it.

doesnt protect my built in sun visor so I just lower that the minimum to avoid that morning/evening sunstrike
