    Check at your local ..
    There is stuff in a spray can called FOG-OFF. (Works for me.)

    If that runs out on a ride ... I use the clothes-peg method. A spring loaded clothes peg clipped onto the bottom of the visor keeps a small gap at the front open. Wind pressure usually keeps the sides of the visor closed.

    A decent helmet system has several positions of almost, a little, a bit, a lot, open and these stay put at 100kph.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Ok long story short, in at TSS and Andrew says he's commuted with an NXR and really rates pinlock system and just in general.

    Well I sez, that's two votes, let's go have a looksee. Fits my headshape so went for a straight colour and used the saving to justify a black visor and still a couple of tanks fills. Kinda.

    Thanks for ideas.

    So long HJC, it's been real, but time to try another path. First Shoei since the 90s.

    FJ1200's ... sometimes have a tendency to travel a little faster than 100 km/hr.

    Possibly up to 104km/h?
    Our propaganda experts inform us that anything over that is suicidal, kills baby seals and causes global warming.

    Make that three. I have an NXR unt pinlock. The only time I have had an issue is when the cam needed tightening. Was very happy with Fog City inserts until I upgraded to pinlock. Wouldn't go back. Pretty sure the breath guard/nose shield plays a part as well.

    Having said all that, I find it a bit noisy at 104km/h and will try something else next time.

    Agreed, they're not the quietest helmet - the GT Air I had for a while was better. But it's light, comfortable and the aero is good. The main pro for me is my glasses fit perfectly.
