Topic: Pinlock helmet?

[Dunk]

Today was a rough day commuting. Super wet, humid, drizzling, cold. Around quitting time it was snowing at work and my better half reported hail at home. Sucked it up and did the needful with my Bell Bullitt fogging up to all hell both ways despite a fresh coat of anti-fog spray in the morning. Open the visor at every stop, crack it when needed with freezing air pouring in, wipe snot at next stop, and repeat. The whole while try to avoid the potholes opening up from winter that I can't see on account of the fogged visor, and be cautious on the shiny road that looks like it's about 1* from freezing into a sheet of ice.

I like the large panoramic visor of the Bullitt and retro style, but I clearly need something better for winter commuting. Unfortunately I don't see a pinlock visor made for this helmet. Anyone using pinlock? Is it everything they promise? Is it even a fraction of what the marketing wanks claim? What helmet?

Most of the riders around here (on their snow machines) swear by the heated visors on their cheap, DOT helmets. I tried one, riding late last Fall, and it did seem to work. I’ve seen some that “peel and stick” to an existing visor. Might be worth a try?

My LS2 came with a pinlock insert.  Its been a total game changer.  Field of view is always clear.
Doesn't help the flip down sun visor tho 

I haven't noticed any issues with peripheral vision on 9 outta 10 helmets.  Don't see the need for the big retro bubble helmet.

My Schuberth helmet has a Pinlock visor.  It works great.

My Shoei has pinlock and it works great.  I don't deal with fogging at all.

I purchased a pinlock shield for my Shoei but haven't installed it yet;I'm still riding with my 3/4 helmet with the 5-snap comp shield which is bearable out here when using the anti-fog spray.
I have experienced what you're saying and will eventually start wearing my Shoei and the pinlock shield.

I ordered the 'pin loc' clear shield,the one that has UV protection,rather than the tinted outer pin-loc flip shield which wasn't advertised as having UV protection.
I can wear shades for my eyes and want my facial skin protected from the sun.

Another vote for the Pinlock.
