Fog City or similar

I've found the cheap Oxford ones (~£5) are good, and do the job well. You can pick them up in most bike shops or on eBay.

I'm currently waiting to find somewhere that has a Pin Lock visor for Arai lids. I don't know anyone who has had problems with the Pink Lock system.

Yea I removed the fog city insert because of the effect it has on lights. Highly recomend the Foggy mask, not only does it keep the visor fog free (well mostly) but it keeps you mouth and nose nice and warm. No more runny noses or saw lips for me this winter...(well certainly not now the bike is all busted up).

One question though what is Pinlock?

Its like the fog city insert in that its something that sits on the inside of the visor but it locks in place instead of being stuck on. It doesn't have any issues with lights and prevents any fogging in the insert area, you can also get clear or tinted inserts and switch them about as needed.

The only problem is that you need to get a visor which already has the bits ready for the pinlock inserts. They come as standard with Shoei lids but have only recently started doing them for Arai, as I understand it. But I see I can get them from that rather handy link from Thor

thepinlock system requires you to drill 2 holes in ur existing arai ??visor to accept the pins to hold the visor insert,kinda like the fog city but you can change these as appropriate ,,,u get a template with the kit thats why it specific for the visor ,kinda like a visor within a visor(or so i was told)

new arai helmets now come with pinlock visor and imho is the best of the bunch. the fog city worked ok but they didn,t stay in long enough cos the glue failed

Never had any problems with the glue on Fog Citys, I've had 2 and between them they've covered about 25000 miles in 3 years in all weathers. Not being cheeky but I'd be inclined to point the finger at the installation, they can be a little fiddly.

Get the yellow one... I had a blue one in my HJC and while it darkened more effectively in daylight, it was irritating at night, sometimes. The yellow one's less good in daylight but much better at night (yellow and light green tints are good for improving visual acuity in the dark)

I've got a Foggy mask, can't get it to work with my Arai Condor- the cheek pads are too prominent, so it won't fit comfortably. Works brilliantly in the old HJC though.
