Default Which lid is the best at not misting up

I'm looking to buy a new lid and want one that doesn't mist too much.I've been looking at the Shoei XR1000 with it's pin lock visor but would appreciate experiences of other lids.

Probably one of the best by design ids the ROOF DIVERTION.

However It hasn't been an issue for me for a number of years now as I always fit a foggy in my helmets.

Cheers Mark.

Default Pinlock

I've got a Lazer with pinlock which is great, only ever ever get a small amount of misting up about even in the worst conditions and only at the very bottom of the visor. You can tell how well its working because you get a loads of misting on the unprotected area around the outside of the pinlock

Don't get on with the foggy type masks as I wear glasses and it makes them steam up worse than the visor.

I have the XR1000 with pinlock and it was fantastic all winter. You can get a tinted pinlock for summer, probably not as pretty as the fog city. Personnaly I just use another visor. Its a nice lid. As Rictuds says the Roofs seem to be the lid of choice, but Id stick my neck out and say if an XR1000 fits a Roof wont.....maybe. It didnt for me anyhow. You will find fit determines your choice tho unless you are very average

However pinlock can be fitted to most visors I think as a tiny drill comes in the pack.

My Caberg Brutus hasn't misted up on me at all, think the Cabergs are all pretty good at not misting up

Default Justissimo

Hi,
I've got a caberg justissimo it came with an Insert (my mates didn't and looks like the Visor's treated with something). The insert works great but can get water in between it and the visor. The fog city's stick to the visor so shouldn't have the same problem.

One thing as people are recommending the Roof's. The visors on the Roof's are shaped, so you can't fit a fog city or similar to them if the standard isn't good enough. Also apparently makes it a pain in the a**e to carry a spare visor if you get a tinted one.

Heard good things about the pinlocks but no first hand experience.

Stu.
