Yeah, I meant to order one during the winter and forgot. (I've also tried a number of anti-fog fluids you apply to the inside of the shield, including the Webbike recommended "Defog-It." All have been SLIGHTLY better than nothing, but emphasis on the SLIGHTLY.)
So, first ride of the season, I'm riding into a sky which has turned black. Should have just turned around, but didn't. So I get to enjoy a road covered with sleet, but since this is a backroad I can ride slow and not slide out. The real problem was the fogged up faceshield. So I open the face shield a bit, which solves the fogging problem while also adding rain drops to the inside of the shield. Vision VERY impaired. THIS SUCKS!
So today I got a new clear shield with a a clear Pinlock internal shield for my RF-1000. When I donned the helmet to go outside and gaze around, I saw for lack of a better word "ghost images."
So what do you experienced Pinlock users do? Change to the Pinlock shield when rain and/or cold seems quite possible, just get used to the slightly distorted vision, at least for daytime riding? I no longer ride at night.
Your comments would be most welcome.
