Anti-fog Pinlock any good?

[Nikki]

I went out early this morning on the bike in the fog and ended up having to ride for quite a while with my visor up to keep it clear. I've been thinking of getting an anti-fog Pinlock insert - has anyone got one and are they worth getting?

Very good. Unfortunately I damaged my pinlock visor so had to revert back to a standard one. :-[

Brilliant things, get one straight away. You can't even fog them up on purpose

Excellent, all my visors have pinlock, although i normally only need one in winter/foggy conditions.

Yep - they are worth getting.
I've got a couple (1 clear & 1 smoked for when we see that yellow thing)
Do it, go get one Nikki

Thanks all - I'm convinced.

Ebay here I come

Nikki - while you're waiting for it to arrive try this.
Put a small amount of fairy liquid on the inside of your visor - rub it in, and leave to dry.
Then buff off with a micro-fibre cloth.

You will find that it will be difficult to fog up as the fairy acts as a sufactant (breaks down water surface tension) - shaving cream also does the same job!

These work better than anything I have tried specifically for a fogging problem.

Can recommend this.

Thank you.

I'll give that a try.

Top Tip: If trying the washing up liquid (or any soap except the gritty de-grease your hands types), apply it very sparingly as too much will leave your visor a bit smeary. Trial and error will get you there soon enough.

Important bit: if it rains whilst using the soap trick before fitting a Pinlock, keep your visor closed! Water running down the inside of the visor will wash off your carefully applied anti-fog film
