Hello there. Complete newbie to bikes and biking (starting late at the ripe old age of 43). So new, in fact, that I have not done my CBT yet (doing that in a couple of weeks).
I've bought myself my first helmet in advance, so I can wear my own one when doing the CBT (which the local test centre confirmed is perfectly acceptable). It is a Zorax ZOR 838 modular helmet. Yes, yes, I know, probably entirely the wrong helmet but as a complete beginner, having never ridden a bike before, I didn't want to splurge on a better helmet until the bug has firmly bitten me.
So my question, or questions, are as follows;
My helmet has pinlock thingies on the visor, which was nice since it didn't come advertised as having them. I've looked online but my google-fu isn't great and so I cannot figure out which pinlock insert would work best with this visor. I wear glasses, so obviously will need an insert to prevent (or limit) fogging up. Indeed, my helmet is fogging up while I'm just sat here typing this (I was advised by a friend to wear my helmet a bit just sat around the house to get used to it, the weight, moving my head in it etc).
I know that the entire front of this helmet will hinge up, thus alleviating fogging, likewise I could just 'crack the lid' I believe the term is, to again limit fogging, but if I could get one of those fancy insert things I think that would be better (or I could be completely wrong, but that is why I'm asking in here).
Another helmet related question I have, is about the fogging of my glasses themselves. They don't seem to be fogging up themselves, only the visor, but would it be likely that they too would fog up and if so, what would you say is best for me, a complete and total novice, to do to mitigate the fogging of glasses (contacts or surgery are no-gos sadly due to the nature of my stupid eyes).
Any advice, insights or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Chris.
