anyone got any ideas on how the pinlock anti-fog thing works, and if it causes glare/reflection at night?

I have a shoei raid II. I like it, felt very light to start with before i got used to it. The vents are ok, but on my next helmet I think I'll look for one with some at the back, so that the air can flow through the helmet.
Pinlock is a plastic insert with a bead of silicon around the edge. It is held in place by two pins. Works like double glazing and really doesn't steam up.
Only problem is when you are crouching down behind the fairing you have to look up through the edge of the insert and seal which blocks the view a bit.
I should really remove mine in the summer, and just leave it for the winter, but somehow never got round to it!
You can get tinted pinlock inserts too. IMO they can be changed even more quickly than a quick release visor, and they are smaller to carry around.
