Forget Fogging!

Though Shoei does not create visors with anti-fog coatings, there are many solutions available that will reduce fogging. One of the most popular is the PINLOCK shield.

This shield is made of moisture absorbing plastic. The silicon seal creates an airtight double lens, which reduces fog build up. The shield is EE 22.05 approved and has been recommended by the Snell Foundation. Though there is some minor construction required to install the PINLOCK system to your current visor, it is relatively easy, and worth the trouble.

PINLOCK comes in a variety of colors. Yellow is best for high contrast vision in mist and rain. Orange works for high contrast vision and blocking sun. Clear is best for most all weather types. The light and dark tint shields are for sunny conditions. Many riders keep more than one color on hand for quick change in varying weather conditions.

Those who have used the PINLOCK system report that fogging is no longer a problem, and the device is rather inexpensive. If you’re tired of using anti-fog rubs and sprays with no success, it might be time to give the PINLOCK system a try!

If you have used this system, let us know what you think!
