Tour-X - Fog!

[rjsmith26]

Anyone got a bit damp today???

Haven't riddden in really wet weather with my new helmet (prior to day).

Used to ride with an Arai Quantum which was excellent in wet.

My Tour X3 today was awful!

Riding a 2008 GSA - any tips?

Visor partially open/closed, vents (which seem to make no difference)?

Any tips or pi** taking most welcome ....

P.S. Anyone else in south today getting a tad damp?????/??

Does the Tour X3 not come with a pinlock I have 2 and both did. No problems so far with misting while riding in wet weather. First pinlock I have owned and its great

Pinlock mate, fan(fcuking)tastic...got absolutely soaked through, even put helmet on in open rain... No misting on an hours ride in a monsoon...

As above mine came with pinlock which works very well

That said my tinted visor doesnt have it fitted and has been fine all spring/summer with a slight opening of the visor and chin vent open

Pinlock is your friend - definitely works - I have one on my clear and tinted visors and both are spot on and I've ridden in some real crappy weather

Chaps,

Many thanks, hunted through the bottom of the helmet box and hidden away - pinlock!!!!

Fitted, not tried on bike test yet - but soggy helmet (from riding with visor open) tried on last night, given the heavy breathing test and voila - looks to be superb!

Thanks for pointers.

P.S. seemed awkward to fit, disassemble helmet peak/visor but guess fit it and forget it.

YW,

I find those little pegs very weak on the pinlock attachment points - anyone else?

I always used a Fogcity in mine.

EDIT - what I will add is my Tour-X always seemed to pick up a fine mist inside when I was in very heavy rain, and yesterday the rain was so heavy even my Chaser was getting a bit damp inside.

Pegs

The pegs/pins on the Pinlock visor system are cam shaped so you need to twist them to get the correct seal. Once this is done you dont need to touch them again.

Respro foggy mask fixed it for me, Jim.

No need for all that with a pinlock, fit it and forget it...

Pinlock: yellow on a clear visor, and clear on a tinted visor ~ covers every opportunity, 32k miles in 23 months through last 2 winters, never a problem,
