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...
The Pinlock ProtecTINT visor insert receives high praise from customers for its effectiveness in adapting to varying light conditions, reducing the need for frequent visor changes. It eliminates the need for sunglasses, prevents misting, and is easy to install and remove. While some customers noted it doesn't darken as much as a dedicated dark visor, they still find it highly functional. Overall, it's a highly recommended, high-quality accessory for Arai helmet users.
A good bit of kit that seems to work well, not tried in really sunny weather yet but it does seem to react easily enough.
Bought as I don't have built in visor or prescription sunglasses. Darkens enough to stop the glare and really makes a difference. Quick delivery too.
works well in all light conditions.
and great service from SportsBikeShop(Boston)
It is a must have accessory for riders who don't stop when the thermometer scale moves away from 20 C. Don't forget to install a nose piece though to make is more efficient.
Thanks you for fab view, wow.
As with any Pinlock it's always good. This will be my winter visor for my daily commute once my smoke visor gets removed for the darker days. The tint works well and good for for the sun but what I would say if it went slightly darker I would be happier but can't fault it.
Fantastic item, was having trouble with the low winter sun in the morning but often drive home in the dark so and didn't want to have to keep swapping the visor. This was fab! It's not that noticeable a colour change from inside your helmet until you lift the visor and realise how bright it is, blocks out enough sun so you can ride safely and is completely clear in the dark too. Only 1 tiny problem is the reactive coating seems to have a slight wave pattern which is noticeable and slightly annoying until you get used to it and actually isn't half as annoying as having the sun blind you so overall very good purchase.
Great product. Arrived quickly and in good condition. Does what it was designed to do. Can't fault it.
Does darken off in sunlight. Not amazingly dark, but could not expect it to be a dark visor imitation, so a good halfway house.
I always buy helmets with pinlock. This reduces all fogging as it should. The react-to-light tint is subtle and not as immediate as a drop down visor. Arai do not do drop down tinted visors as they feel it compromises safety . The tint only really kicks in if it's very bright sun and does not wear off quickly if you then go through an area in shade. It's a nice touch though.
ProtecTINT Arai Pinlock not effective at all.
Advertised as changing colour in sunlight - well changes sooo little it is hardly noticeable.
This works!!! Don't need to wear sunglasses any more which is what I was after!! It changes back quickly when sun goes in too!! Well pleased with it!!
I've used clear Pinlock for years and already know they are fantastic I cant imagine riding without one. No misting of the visor ever.
I don't like dark visors, didn't want a drop down sun visor in a helmet and have always used sunglasses but after a while they do get uncomfortable and you get those horrid moments when you go through a dark tunnel or a shaded area and cant see the road surface properly.
Someone told me about the UV reactive Pinlock a while ago. I looked at them several times but didn't buy one as they are expensive.
Eventually after missing some gravel though a shaded area with my sunglasses on I decided I'd get one - its one of my best buys!
Truly brilliant I find it changes light and dark very quickly and cant imagine riding without it now. It reduces glare and is great in bright sunlight. Also their is no noticeable gap around the edge of the Pinlock at all which I was worried about.
Well worth the money and highly recommended.
High quality product, it doesn't go quite dark, but enough to stop you squint. I have to mention that the Sportsbikeshop team is brilliant. I'm really impressed with the speed they solve issues.
My commute to work goes down a road running due East West. So get the low sun this time of year directly in my eyes on the way into work and again on the way home.
This Pinlock reduces the suns glare OK if it's an overcast day. But not so good if the sun's fully out.
Have now ordered an Arai sun visor..
No misting up and the tint works well, but does not go quite dark enough, which is noticeable when sun is low and in your face. Convenience factor though is excellent, and a high quality product. Would recommend.
To be honest im completely underwhelmed by this product considering all the 5* reviews. It does tint quickly BUT its barely noticeable. I only realized it had worked by looking above it to see the visor itself was brighter. If you're looking for something to protect you from the sun then I think a permanently dark insert would be a much better option and then you can remove it for night riding.
Its worked flawlessly in preventing my visor misting up though.
Shame Arai don't have internal sun visors, but this is brill. I have no complaints, tints enough to stop you squinting and clears when the sun fades, so if you prefer riding with a clear visor this is for you. (Arai Axces 2).
Unfortunately not I'm afraid, you will require the ProtecTINT insert found on quick find 346536.
This will not fit if you have a Max Vision visor, which we believe is fitted to your Axces 3.You require the Arai I Type Max Vision ProtecTINT Pinlock Insert - RX-7 GP / New Quantum / Chaser V / Axces 2 / Axces 3.
