We Love Arai helmets but they fogged up when it was really humid or cold and damp. So, we tried the original Pin-lock shield with a couple of inserts and it solved the fogging issues but the insert obscured part of the visible area when in the tuck position the insert gasket was directly in the sight-line ( the packaging warned of this ). Along came the new Arai Max Vision Pin-lock. So we had to try it out. We tested one with a couple of inserts and the first thing we noticed was that the shield is not flat like the old style. The Max Vision Pin-lock face shield has an outward bulge that is the same shape of the insert. The inserts fit perfectly into this bulge and rather than having slots that fit into the pins, they have tabs that the pins hold down. The inside of the shield is not flat when the insert is in stalled vs. raised and bulging in the original version pinlock faceshield. When using the new Max vision system you get to use the larger opening in the SAI shield. The Pinlock no longer obscures your vision, even in the tuck position. The insert is shaped around the brow vents too. In fact what we were most pleased with is the faceshield is designed so well that you will forget you are using a Pin-lock shield. Now, fogging up is no longer an issue. Plus, when using the Arai the Max vision faceshield you have the full use of the larger eyeport opening on the newer Arai Helmets. Get yours today and get all the advantages of a Pinlock, but now with a lot more visibility.

At last, a reason to prefer the Corsair V - Duke W   CA Recommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Easy change-out, works flawlessly with the pinlock inserts designed for it

Cons: Not standard on every Arai helmet it fits

Anti-fog inserts are a must on Arai helmets, so when I needed a new Corsair V, I bought one of these at the same time. The difference is night and day from the old-style pinlock shields. There is no limitation to the clear field of vision from the rider's point of view. The last reason to prefer an older helmet is now gone well, except for the paint schemes -- I really miss the Tommy Gun paint job -- they don't have anything that evocative any more. Yes, I know that the Corsair V is supposed to be a racing helmet, and they therefore think you don't need an anti-fog visor, but this is safety equipment, guys, and should be standard on every helmet it fits. Oh, one more note if you have a spare old-style pinlock insert, be aware they won't fit the new design. Buy an insert at the same time, and you won't have to wait to be safe go ahead, ask me how I found that out.

Fog Free and Happy in my Arai - Side Road   Recommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Easy to install, Love it.. Now I am Fog Free..

Cons: [None]

No fogging issues with this visor. Now, if it would only keep my glasses from foggingRiding last winter with the RX-Q, I had a lot of fogging issues. While it was easily mitigated with the front vent, who really wants to open it at 30 some odd degreesI have read that other people had issues with the pins. I just straightened out he visor, as shown in the video, and popped it in place. Very simple and took but a couple of seconds to install it.It does take a little bit to get used to as it gives the impression of being cracked open on the bottom when all you are seeing is a small area that is not covered by the insert.

Works good, certainly fog free - RON   Recommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Fog Free, Good Fit

Cons: slight reflection in some conditions

Works well. I have the dark smoke and light smoke on separate shields, easy interchange. Dark for sunny, light for daytime cloudyovercast. Only negative is minimal ... slight reflectivity off the inner surface, so on bright days the lens is not crystal-clear ... but it's close, and it doesn't fog.
