During a chilly morning ride or rainy fall day, there is nothing more annoying than a fogged up visor. Fortunately there is de Pinlock: the solution for clear vision under all circumstances. In this blog we explain what a Pinlock is, what types there are, how to fit it and which helmets are prepared for this system.
