Pinlock
First time it's had a proper test in the elements. Cold, wet and windy. Not a hint of misting up. It makes me wonder how I got on without them for so long.

Re: Pinlock
I've never had a visor with pinlock, but I did used to use the stick on inserts that do the same thing. The only thing I ever struggled with was the occasional ghosting of headlights, especially after dark.

Re: Pinlock
Pinlocks are good .... Its the visors you buy that arent drilled for pinlocks and you have to drill them yourself, thats a little nervy

Re: Pinlock
I bought a pinlock kit to put on one of my existing visors but I was scared to drill it so I never put it on. Only had it about 18 months now :o I think I may need to pick up a new visor soonish though because this one is getting a bit marked so I think i'll go with a pinlock one next and give it a try.
Re: Pinlock
AGV don't make a pinlock visor for my crash helmet, but got an new agv visor and pinlock system fitted from the pinlock shop online.
Was a real good price, wish I had got one sooner. Don't think I'll every go back to a normal visor again, been really amazed by the difference.

Re: Pinlock
They don't make them for Roof helmets due to the shape of the visor, which is a shame. That said Roof lids aren't prone to misting but it does happen when it's really cold.

Re: Pinlock
I don't have too much of an issue with the shark misting either, I'm fairly sure it had a thicker visor than a lot of other lids.
Fogcity where the inserts I was thinking of earlier.
