Visors, Pinlocks and Visiodry
The Rider’s Guide to Seeing Clearly
Riding a bike isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way of life. But there’s nothing worse than setting off on a crisp UK morning, mist clinging to the roads, only to realise your visor has fogged up before you’ve even left the driveway. Or worse, the sun hits just right and suddenly your visor is a mirror reflecting the world back at you. That’s why understanding visors, Pinlocks, and proper maintenance isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential.
Why Visors Matter More Than You Think
Your visor is your window to the road. It protects you from wind, rain, bugs, and the odd pigeon, but it also defines how you ride:
- Clear visors are your everyday workhorse, perfect for city commutes, wet UK mornings, and night riding.
- Tinted visors cut glare on bright days, help with sun fatigue, and give a sleek, stealthy look.
- Smoked or coloured visors? They’re as much about style as function, making your helmet look sharp while offering extra sun protection.
Road legal vs non-road legal visors: Always check. Clear visors are universally road legal. Some mirrored, dark, or coloured visors may not be legal at night or in certain conditions. Riding safe isn’t just about being seen, it’s about staying on the right side of the law.

Fogged-up visors are the bane of every UK rider.
What is a pinlock? - A simple insert that creates a sealed air pocket between your visor and lens, keeping your vision crystal clear.
- Pinlock prepared means your helmet is designed to take a Pinlock lens easily, no hacks, no glue, no drama.
- Why it matters: Fog slows you down, distracts you, and can be downright dangerous. With a proper Pinlock fitted, you’re riding in confidence, rain or shine.
- Choosing the right Pinlock: Each helmet and visor combination has specific compatible lenses. Getting the wrong one is like wearing someone else’s gloves, it just doesn’t work.
