fog city, oxford or other?

If you’re not careful the reputation points system will be labelling you as some sort of motorcycling deity

I am not worthy.

ok, so who can tell me what the Nolan Pinlock system actually is?? I was (dubiously) told that it referred to the latching arrangement on my new (wahoo!) X-901 but everywhere I look, people call it an anti-fogging system (or does that simply mean the way the visor sits 5mm off the helmet?)

It's an anti-fogging insert held in place by eccentric pins through the visor. It works the same way as double glazing. You can buy clear, amber, and smoke inserts.

ah ha. So its an additional layer inside the visor? That explains the little rubber grommets I guess

That's it!

It bloody works too. Only anti fogging system I've used that both works and can be relaced easily without destroying a perfectly good main visor. The Nolan Helmet venting works in both warm a cold weather to stop my glasses fogging too.

That's it! It bloody works too..

Certenly does I had the pinlock on my Lazer for the last 4yrs, but as HJC dont use that system.... I have to look at something else.... bugger it.

You might be able to buy glycerine at the supermarket too, in the baking goods/spices aisle.

Here's another glycerine tip: if your freezer is not of the auto defrosting variety (like mine), after you defrost it next time, wipe glycerine syrup all over the surfaces that ice up & the next time you de-ice it, the ice will remove itself very easily. Mine takes about 20mins to de-ice now.


So has anyone tried the Oxford anti-fog offering or not?

I better ring Mike at Mt Eden back then and get him to dig it out for me. Sounds like with the pinlock AND the breath guard that are supposed to come with my lid, i'll be Unfoggable!

(sadly, after riding into town at 5:45am yesterday and getting absolutely hosed upon from a great height, a foggy visor is not so far from my mind as it should be at this time of year!)

Mega shield it is then, the dude behind the counter reckons that it is as good as the fog city and cheaper.... ten bucks cheaper, and its what he uses, but then he would say that aye....... I mean like its all they sold so time will tell.
It seemed to go on alright altho it was smaller than I thought as the outer rim comes of with the protective film so Im hopeing that it isent too low and I end up looking through the sticky bit.
