Clear Vision. Any Condition.
Pinlock® creates a dual-pane visor system designed to help reduce fogging.
Why Helmet Visors Fog
Helmet visor fogging occurs when warm air inside the helmet meets a cooler outer surface. This temperature difference causes moisture from breath and humidity to condense on the visor, reducing visibility.
Fogging is most common during:
- Cold weather riding
- Rain or high humidity
- Early morning or night rides
- Intense riding or racing
Maintaining clear vision is an important part of rider awareness and overall riding comfort.
What Is the Pinlock® anti-fog technology?
The Pinlock® anti-fog technology is a secondary inner lens that attaches to the inside of a compatible helmet visor using two mounting pins.
The insert creates a sealed air pocket between the outer visor and the inner lens. This dual-pane construction helps reduce temperature differences across the visor surface, which is designed to minimize fog formation.
The system works similarly to double-pane insulation, helping maintain clearer vision across a wide range of riding conditions.
Anti-fog technology
A Pinlock® lens is made to enjoy a fog-free ride. It is based on two key principles to ensure a fog-free vision. The moisture absorbing surface of the lens effectively attracts and stores water molecules, while the airtight seal creates a thermal barrier together preventing condensation of the visor. The system is kept in place by positioning the lens between two adjustable pins, making Pinlock® the number one anti-fog solution for helmets.
Moisture absorbing nanotechnology
The moisture absorbing surface of the lens effectively attracts and stores water molecules. When the humidity drops to a lower level, the water molecules in the lens surface evaporate, leaving the Pinlock® lens ready for the next adventures.
Airtight chamber
The airtight seal creates an air pocket between the visor and the Pinlock® lens, and acts as a thermal barrier. Preventing the warm air from within the helmet to collide with the cold air from the outsideof the helmet.
How Pinlock® Prevents Fogging
A Pinlock® lens is made to enjoy a fog-free ride. It is based on two key principles to ensure a fog-free vision.
- Moisture absorbing nanotechnology: the moisture absorbing surface of the lens effectively attracts and stores water molecules
- Airtight chamber: The airtight seal creates an air pocket between the visor and the Pinlock® lens, and acts as a thermal barrier.
The system is kept in place by positioning the lens between two adjustable pins. Together, these features are designed to help keep the rider’s field of vision clearer during temperature and humidity changes.
The lens
The Pinlock® anti-fog technology seamlessly integrates in our helmets. The lenses are custom designed to fit our visors.
Millions of riders worldwide use a Pinlock® lens to keep their sight fog-free, including the best of the best in MotoGP and Formula 1.
When Pinlock® makes the biggest difference
Pinlock® technology is especially beneficial for riders who experience frequent temperature or weather changes, including:
- Daily commuters
- High intensity riders/racers
- Touring and long-distance riders
- Riders in rainy or humid regions
While ventilation systems help manage airflow, the Pinlock® insert adds an additional layer of fog-resistance when conditions become challenging.
