Check inside your helmet box for a long, thin packet. In there lies clear vision on wet days. Here's what to do with it...

Customers frequently praise the Pinlock visor insert for its effectiveness in preventing fogging and providing clear vision. It fits well in a variety of helmet models such as Caberg Stunt and X-Trace, though some mention minor fitting challenges. The insert has been tested in adverse weather conditions and has proven reliable. It is highly recommended by many for any motorcyclist using full-face helmets, evidenced by repeat purchases and consistent satisfaction with the product's performance.
No matter what helmet I have I always choose pinlock. I've tried cheaper items but nothing comes close. I find they fits perfectly and cause no distortion in vision. They tend to last about 20,000 miles before they scratch a little and I start to notice some fogging. Great service from Sportsbikeshop with delivery next day!
After a mix up with the postage, SBS customer service were brilliant in quickly dispatching a new insert and refunded my postage. Once the item had arrived it was quick, easy and simple to install. I got the pleasure of testing it in the aftermath of storm Eunice on my way back from Wales and it rained for the entire 4 hour ride. Didn't steam up once and vision was clear (as it could be). Used Pinlock before and never had a problem.
This visor insert fitted my Caberg Stunt helmet easily. I already have a Pinlock on my Caberg Flyon and wouldn't be without it. No misting and perfectly clear vision at all times, that must be a life saver.
It seems that there has been some change in stock, as the insert I bought did not fit, and judging by it's shape, it's not for this hemet, although description on packaging says it is. I have bought the same thing from another company that still had old stock and it fit straight away with no issues. Unfortunately, I managed to break the insert's pin slots when trying to remove it and will be out of pocket by one, but that's just bad luck. The fact that this Pinlock doesn't fit needs reporting to Caberg and looking into as I've spoken to other people that have had the same issue with new stock.
Having purchased the Caberg x-trace helmet early last year, i ventured out on a few winter rides and immediatley thought to myself that i needed something to prevent my visor from fogging up. So after a little search at Sportsbikeshop i found what i needed, a pinlock visor insert.
This instantly cured the problem of misting and fogging up and is a must have product for any motorcyclist that rides with a full face helmet.
When fitting the Pinlock to the visor I found that warming the Pinlock insert with a hairdryer whilst shaping it to the contour of the visor helped it locate in the correct position.
Most of my previous helmets came with the Pinlock already inserted.
This time my helmet (Caberg X-Trace) didn't even come with it.
Arrived in great time, simple to fit and as always, effective.
A 'Must Have' if riding in all weathers. Easy to fit and you don't even notice it's there other than your visor doesn't mist up! Sportsbikeshop makes obtaining one quick and simple!
When fitting it was a bit too tight and wouldn't sit flush with the visor. I had both Pinlocks in the maximum apart position before you ask!! :)
I just used a dremel to going off about 0.5 mm and it fits perfectly and nice and tight on the visor. Haven't read any other reviews with this problem so maybe a 1 off.
Definitely recommend.
Fits well! Is a must...
Fit well in my X-Trace and does keep my visor clear from fogging indeed. Excellent.
Got one of these Pinlock after advice from other bikers. Was a little sceptical at first, but glad I got it, nice to see where I'm going with out misting up. Came well packed and on time, expect nothing less from SBS, thanks guys.
As always, pinlock is in my view the best option. Fits the visor well. Highly recommended.
The Caberg Stunt fogs up all the time, even with the visor cracked open! This simple piece of kit does it jobs exactly, preventing your visor fogging allowing you to actually see whilst riding. Anyone who buys the Stunt needs this as well.
Really good Pinlock insert, have tried others in the past and they don't fit properly letting in the rain, but this fits great, would buy it again if needed to.
I was having big problems with my helmet visor fogging up and my instructor recommended the Pinlock visor.
It solved the problem completely!
A must buy for anyone buying a Caberg Stunt helmet.
It arrived very quickly and is fairly easy to fit, just make sure it seals down properly.
I cannot recommend this product enough, even made my partner buy one at the same time she got her helmet :)
Fitting was really easy as the Stunt's visor is Pinlock ready. The results are nothing short of a miracle. I've always had problems with steaming up, whether it's sunglasses, MX goggles or helmet visors. Now I wish Pinlock could double glaze my sunglasses.
These inserts just work!
This Pinlock visor insert is a must for Caberg stunt helmets! Once it was installed there was absolutely zero fogging!
It works perfectly and arrived super quickly and well packaged. Amazing service!
