This clear insert creates a mechanical anti-fog device that works better than any coatings or chemicals.
Finally after a decade of suffering without Pinlock capability, Arai adventure helmet users, with the introduction of the XD-5 helmet, can catch up with the rest of the world with what we think is one of the best helmet features available.
A soft silicone gasket around the perimeter of the pinlock insert creates a seal and a protected vapor barrier that resists fogging, simply and safely.
Because it's made of a softer plastic than the hard, anti-shatter exterior face shield, pinlock inserts are prone to scratching and hazing.
We know we're not supposed to stow our gloves or other items inside our helmet while off the bike, but most of us do it anyway.
Even with meticulous care, it's possible for the soft plastic of the Pinlock insert to deform over time. Unlike other Arai street helmets, which feature built-in brow vents that a pinlock insert would need to snake around, the XD-5 helmet sports a wide, uniform face shield, with built in ridges on top and at the bottom to give the pinlock insert a nice shelf to sit on.
TLDR: this thing offers foolproof fog-free performance. The highest. 120-second rating that Pinlock produces.
The 120 denotes PinLock's highest available value of fog-proofing - 120 seconds under harsher conditions than you'll likely encounter.
