Pinlock anti-mist visor insert

[Kendog]

The only non-pinlock system that seems to work reliably is Schuberth's anti-fog coating.
A bit dearer than Nolans though.

Cat crap also works.

Just have to apply once a week or so.

Hopefully Pinlock's site will reveal a local distributor:

HJC's magic coating is quite remarkable.

Sooner??? - have had mine for about 7 years. They were available on Nolan helmets first of all. They really are superb.

My lady had one on her Nolan, was never absolutely perfect, and ended up scatching the visor near the top, I use a wax polish on inside and outside of the visor on a regular basis, helps the rain slide off the visor, and of course keeps the visor sparkly clean...

After last week ends WWWWW ride, where it was wet and due to my visor fogging up I had to ride with it cracked open (which then puts water on the inside of the visor!) I need one of these

Where in New Zealand can I get one from?

You can get them loads of places. I have a Shoei Raid II which didn't come with the pinlock visor so I had to buy a replacement visor with the pinlock pins fitted. I could have just bought the DIY kit but I didn't fancy drilling my only visor!

Anyway, I got the visor and insert from Motorad in Wellington. I then decided to get myself a tinted insert but couldn't find one in NZ (kept being told they don't do them) but I just ordered one from ebay.co.uk and it arrived in a week.

Just to clarify. You need a visor with the pinlock pins (either get the DIY kit and fit them yourself or get a pinlock ready visor) and you then need the pinlock insert which fits between the pins. Easy.

or buy a Fog City that just sticks to your visor, alot cheaper, you aint going to break a visor, and if you bugger it up just rip if off and clean the visor up.

Absolutely, however I tried a Fog City and although it worked exactly the same as the pinlock I preferred the fact that I can swop out my clear insert and stick the tinted one in there. No need to carry a clear and a tinted visor, just carry the spare insert. It's such a neat solution.

So's a photochromatic fog city...... we digress....

Pinlock work well, hence Shoei and a few others use them, don't have a Shoei have a look at Fog City.

Does the fog city offer the same optical clarity as the pinlock?

I had one that was dubious..... then as I was heading in to Coromandel I heard this awful cracking sounds from my visor and my vision went rather weird..... a bit further on a crack appeared across my vision............




I had forgot to remove the inner protective packaging off the insert.... opps


Other than that I have never had an issue with the optics, though I have yet to try a pinlock.
