Pinlock visor

1. If only pinlock inserts stopped prescription eyewear fogging.

It does if you visit the LASIK eye centre on your way to the bike shop

Am thinking seriously about that. One wonders if Mr Lasik can do "bi-focals"...

I agree Dave. I have got a pinlock in my Arai and no matter how hard you breathe you can't fog it up.

Well I have to say that I'm not one hundred percent happy with my Pinlock.

New Arai Helmet...less than one month old....dark pinlock visor...pinlock sheered off already!! Kerry's getting me a new one hopefully.

Seems there's no room for ham fisted adjustment while riding. The pinlock is very fragile.

I reckon you had a faulty one.

I have 4 helmets (perk of the trade) and subsequently a stack of visors (at least 2 for each of 3 full faces) and they are all nested together. the pinlocks have survived well so far.

Yer supposed to take it off in bed mate.

BMW sell a double-walled visor for their helmets.

If you want a good laugh, drop by their shop in Newmarket and ask how much it costs.

I have no trouble with parking outside the porno parlours on K road - but i'd be worried someone might see me coming out of that one. (PT).

just tell us appoximatey?

Then again - your missus.....

How are they for sunstrike?
I had a Fogcity on the Arai and took it off in the end due to a marked increase in sunstrike distortion.

They are brilliant in the wet, though.

If you haven't got one - get one.

Sorry, dont use a visor

[Big Dave]

Sorry, dont use a visor

Neither do I all the time - mostly wear an open face - but there are times when that's not the best option. High speed, high risk, long touring and pissing down rain like last night egs.

I use an MX style helmet all the time - I like the chin protection that you dont get with an open face helmet.

And a pair of sunnies, or clear glasses for eye protection.

Ok in the rain, but hail hurts

If you keep it clean and in good order it's fine - the one on my arai is tinted and I use it in all day conditions - even summer it's no issue.

Main problems with MX helmets are rain and noise level.
