Personally I would advise getting a tinted visor.

I run Pinlock in both of my Arai's and all inserts fit fine. I have 2 clear, a medium tint, a dark tint and a yellow insert. Excellent system. I still have my dark visors for those very bright warm sunny days (remember those ?).

I ended up getting a tinted visor for the summer.

A couple of weeks back however I brought a Progrip Visor insert for the fog. It is a self adhesive sealed insert. It works well. Its light sensitive (not that its needed) and there is an Arai version for the brow vents. It fits snuggly to the top of the visor - in fact a little to tight as its tough to open the visor which is the only downside - but I should have stuck it slightly lower inside.

I've got the same progrip one as you (cheaper at £12.50

) but don't find it darkens anywhere near enough to be useful.
Wish I'd bought 2 clear ones and carried on switching visors (which is what I was hoping to avoid)

Like your iridium though

i've just bought a new Arai Viper GT and it comes with a pinlock thing on the clear visor! i put it on, locked the visor shut and exhaled as hard as i could and it stayed fog free completely! very impressive!

i would say though i would buy a black visor with the pinlock already installed!
