Pin lock faceshields

[Noxx72]

Finally got hold of one of these, they are a little difficult to find for the RX-7 Corsair. Delivered today, installed easily, and rode with it to work tonight. Temp was about 44F, humidity average.

Ok let me just get this out of the way. BEST. THING. EVAR.

The shield with insert performed exactly as promised. No fogging at all, either at speed or waiting on a light. The insert simply stayed clear ( and distortion free to boot). For someone like me who rides a lot in the evening and morning, this is the best shit in motorcycling since the advent of disc brakes, and the demise of Lucas electrics.

Never had to hedge my breathing at all. Left the shield down and locked and breathed normally. What a relief.

The only (slight) drawback I found is that riding at night with lots of traffic and other light sources there can be a slight refraction from tge doubled lenses. It's faint, like an annoying HUD, and it only took my eyes about ten minutes of acclimation to filter it out completely.

If you ride a full face helmet, one if these is a must have present to yourself. Absolutely the dogs bollocks

I've used a Fog City with great results as well.

The best is a double lens helmet for snow mobile use.

Pinlock is big in Europe. I have it on 3 helmets and it works great. No more fogging period! Nothing I have tried in 52 years of riding works as well.

Product update. Rode home with it this morning in a cold rain, still no fogging at all. I don't forsee ever buying a standard shield again.

My problem has never really been the shield. It's my glasses I have issues with.

My Scorpion has a coating on the lens that is AMAZING and never fogs but my glasses do. :damn angry:

Rumor has it, mc's helmets don't fog up while sitting in the closet. :biglaugh:

Lasik.

DR. told me not to waste my money on it. Said when I hit my 40's my eye sight will correct itself.

Probably just told me that to keep me from getting Lasik... lol

The Icon fog free shield is very disappointing. Below 40 degrees is had small areas that still fog up, not as bad as a regular shield but on my way to work with wet hair i still need to crack it at the red light, not as bad when my hair is dry.
