I'm used to helmets with anti-fog coatings on the inside of the visors. But, I just bought two helmets from a european supplier, and neither has this coating. One of them included a Pinlock insert, which I haven't installed yet.
Fogging is a rather minor annoyance here in Southern California, and only this time of year when the weather is chilly, and when I'm stopped or moving very slowly, so I haven't been expedient in putting the insert in my helmet.
I've been reading about Pinlock inserts to get up to speed on them. The advice I've read is that they're for daytime use only. Since half of my riding this time of year is at night coming home, I don't need any problems seeing where I'm going.
For those of you who use them, do you have any trouble at night? And, if they are removed from the shield, do they leave any residue on the shield or damage it in any way, or destroy the Pinlock in the process?
Also, being a very cheap person, I'm seeing universal-fit anti-fog inserts on Amazon with good ratings. For the helmet that didn't include a Pinlock, looking at this as well. Anyone use one from Amazon?
