Pinlock - yes or no?

[SoCal Rich]

Just got Shoei Neotech, and have never had a helmet with Pinlock available. Would love to hear comments, good and bad about using Pinlock. Does it really work? Affect the optics? Hard to clean? Do you really need to remove it at night as advised in the instructions? Thanks, all.

I have them on my Shoei helmet visors and think they are great.
Ive not had any fogging (although I don't live in a cold climate)
I have once had water dribble inside the seal, but that was a few years ago.
I don't think they are hard to clean, and I haven't noticed and optical issues, so Ive never removed it at night.
Just make sure your visor is spotless prior to fitting.
I recommend them.

Good good review on how Pinlock technology works:



I usually crack my shield for a bit... until the fogging goes away. But I may try Pinlocks as well.

Pinlock works exactly,as advertised. My shield has never fogged.

I believe I am sold! Thanks everyone.

I would vote yes on a pinlock. I have a Shoei Neotec and have used a pinlock for over a year. No fogging and find it easy to maintain. I have no issues with it at night.

Pinlock works great. I hardly ever remove it. Just for occasional cleaning.

I have two Shoei Neotec's. Both have pinlocks and work great. I do not notice any optical distortion and have never had a fogging issue.

This may be a silly question, but I've never had reason nor opportunity to try Pinlok.

Are they intended as a one-time install and use permanently proposition.....or is the idea to install and remove as conditions dictate?
