savo318 Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Can anyone tell me the best way to stop fogging on the visor of my helmet.i brought a proper stuff called shift-it helmet visor anti-fog. but it dosent seem to work too well, unless im just using it wrongthanks Quote
mike_1984 Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 im still sporting a halfords own brand so cant find visors that fit (yey) so for myself i just ever so slightly raise the visor to make a small gap, that sorts it out for me. at speed i dont have a fogging problem and can seal it back up (thus far) those inserts seems best bet if you can get one to fit your lid though Quote
Bender Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Pinlock, bit like double glazing for your lid, but you need one that was designed for it in the first place, leave visor open a tad, open all vents on it, ride faster better air flow les humidity, don't breath so much Quote

Martyn850 Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 The Pinlock in my AGV was rubbish. The Pinlock in my Arai works great. Quote

raesewell Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 £35 pounds is a good price but do you think your head is only worth £35? Quote

Stu Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 I wouldn't take the sharps testing as gospel! there is a lot of talk in that it is flawed! they way they test helmets is nothing like real life accidents! All helmets have to pass a minimum standard before it can be sold in the UK The fitment is more important than how many stars it gets in a test! have a google on how the sharps test is flawed Who would you trust.....someone who has only just started testing helmets or a helmet company that has been around a lot longer testing and investigating for years? You pay your money you make your choice its your head at the end of the day if you are happy then so be it! its no skin off my nose Quote

Bender Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Pinlocks are bollocks. The pin lock on my caberg is so good its not even made it out of the box yet Quote
Mawsley Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Never had a problem with Pinlock I reckon it's a Caberg thing. Or at least a "my Caberg" thing. But it's still hopeless. Quote
Pie man Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 I currently have 4 Lids and no problems with Pinlock; however the latest edition is an HJC-RPHA10ST very comfy and the pinlock does its job but the internal sun visor does mist up slightly, must be the chin curtain preventing air leaving the lid, something to do with Airflow I think. First lid I have had with internal sun visor. Quote
Throttled Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 The pinlock on my AGV failed, but that was because it is my summer, well vented helmet and I ride with the visor open a lot of the time. The wind unstuck the bottom part of the pinlock, so it would mist up. My Shark helmet, which I use in the winter, so I rarely open the visor, works brilliantly. Quote
Joeman Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 I regularly ride at motorway speeds with the visor open and never had the pinlock unstick? Quote
Joe85 Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Pinlocks generally last about a year for me. That’s mainly because i swap it between my dark and clear visor for summer/winter. Could buy 2 i spose. Quote
Throttled Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I regularly ride at motorway speeds with the visor open and never had the pinlock unstick? I should try another, maybe the one with the helmet was not quite fitted correctly. Quote
Tango Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Only had the visor on my Bell mist up once......and that was in some pretty extreme weather.....The visor material is pretty thick, which I think helps.......never had a pin lock. ..... Quote
