Title: Pinlock anti-fog visor?
Post by: Admiral Crunch on May 13, 2007, 07:59:40 AM
Does anyone know where I can get a Pinlock Visor?  My helmet ALWAYS fogs up.  I hate applying a spray to my visor every day, and these things sound great, but I can't actually find one for sale anywhere.  Pinlock's website lists a few vendors who supposedly carry them.  I checked all of the US vendors listed on their site, and I could not find any of their products on any of those sites.  I've done some Googling, but I can only find European sellers.  Anyone in the US?

P.S.  I tried a Fog City insert, and it was a waste of $20.  The insert was ruined before I even had a chance to try to attach it to the visor.  And I followed the instructions to the letter.  I won't be trying them again.

I have used the fog city inserts they are okay and do their job..

You did not mention what helmet your using, but I could offer another solution, get a scorpion helmet they come with fogless visors, and they work wonderfully.

most of the pin visor things I have seen are for arai helmets, is that your case ?

I just went to their site http://www.pinlockusa.com/info.asp (http://www.pinlockusa.com/info.asp)  and typed in my zip code, and up came a list?  I know they sell them at my local shop, if worst comes to worst, let me know and mabey we can work something out.

Got the pinlok for my Arai and it's great, my helmet has not foged up sense I have been useing it.  I got mine off of ebay  :laugh:  The seller was from England but it arrived very fast.

And I think I saw them at my local cycle gear.  Try their website www.cyclegear.com

I have an HJC helmet.  Funny, I almost bought a Scorpion helmet when I was helmet shopping.   I narrowed it down to two, and I picked the HJC.  Oh well.

I did check that, and the closest dealer was about 35 miles away, which is why I was looking for an online seller.

Try here http://www.helmethouse.com/  it's listed as a distribitor for pinlok in the USA and here's a toll free number 800-421-7247 I'm sure they will be able to tell you who sells them here in the US if they will won't.

Or you can follow these links
