Yup they do work. Just picked myself up a cheaper Oxford Ultra Clear insert for £2.90! works quite well.

Yep, I have one in my clear visor. Pinlocks are neater though and I'll be getting one of those for my light tint visor, as that already has the pinlock pegs.

Had one last year, defo worked well although mine had a stupid tint in it which meant that i couldnt wear it in the dark.

I now have a ProGrip anti-fog insert with light sensitive tints to it. Fantastic insert, absolutely brilliant. That coupled with my foggy face mask means i havent been fogged up once.

If you get one, spend the extra 15minutes on it when fitting it to get it right. Ok so it might be a bit frustrating sitting there marking out your visor so that the insert lines up correctly, but trust me - it saves A LOT of hassle later, and a lot of sticky residue marks on your visor from failed attempts. Also the more times you have to peel it off and re-locate it, the less sticky its going to be. Thus more chance of it falling off / relocating itself, and also more chance of your breath getting between the insert and the visor and fogging up in places you cant get to, to wipe clear.

works a treat, wish i had started using them earlier. only problem is when using glasses, the glasses still mist up.

if you are getting the polarized ones, which react to sunlight, you may have some problems with wearing sun glasses as it affects it visually. or maybe its just my sunglasses.

what i tend to find when i'm riding with sunglasses is that when i ride down a road with trees either side, you get patches when the sun gets through the trees, when that hits the glasses all the shaded areas pretty much go pitch black. pretty dangerous stuff, would those polarised inserts do the same thing?

the polarized tints are not very dark, in the sun they just turn blueish, it helps a bit, but not in strong sunlight.

I have a cheap visor insert thingy that I bought for 7 quid from Bevon's in Cardiff.

I originally bought it just because it's a reflective visor tint that looks cool (Golden - goes well with my helmet), but upon wearing it I've also reaslised it stops my visor fogging up

It's easily to put on but then it also has a bad habit of coming loose when I'm riding with my visor up - it's only stuck in qith some adhesive tabs that come with the visor and they're not too strong.

Also it's a pretty strong tint so wearing it in anything other than bright sunlight is a bad idea.

But for 7 quid I guess you can't complain

I have covered the best part of 60,000 miles with a fog city insert and find it to be fantastic.
I tried the Oxford one in my 'Shoei' and it was poo, ripped it out and replaced it.
Mrs had an Oxford one in hers, just the same, ripped it out.
I now have 'Fog City HYPEROPTICS' insert, been in for over a year and i wouldn't be without it. I get NO double vision in rain or with headlights, nor does it pool water at the base or mist up..

well after the good reviews I,ll will get one fitted asap

Well I bought a Fog City Light Reactive insert for my Arai on Ebay today. Got to work today with a headache after riding all the way into the sun.

It says it 'fits' Arais with visor vents and pinlock, but I think it just fits around the pinlocks rather than actually uses them.

Some people mentioned light reactive inserts that were specifically for the pinlock system but I couldn't find them anywhere.

I just bought a Fog City light reactive insert, stuck it into my KBC helmet and it does a grand job. Doesn't fog up at all and the tinting makes riding in bright light much easier. Only one issue with it is that the seal on my Helmet locks tightly against the top of the insert so it needs some force to open the Visor when fully closed. I need to either shave a little off the top of the insert so it's angled and rides over the seal better or take a little off the seal so it doesn't jam on the edge of the insert. Don't want to compromise the visor seal though by taking too much off.

I had one of the FogCity Hyperoptics in my clear Arai visor but had to take it off due to me getting cat hair (!!) inside when applying it. Had unstick it to get the hair out, worked fine untill I washed the visor and the dam thing filled up with water.

Now have the cheaper clear one (as I have a dark visor and one of those Sunnex Strips for the sun), works just as well.

Though I did notice the adhesive tape is a lot thinner on the clear one and so the visor closes better than with the hyperoptic one.

If you use a hair dryer carefully you can actually remove the FC insert and re-fit it without too much trauma.

I got my Fog City insert yesterday and fitted it for the ride to work this morning.

It doesn't use the pinlocks directly, but uses them to guide the positioning which, from looking at the instructions, looks like it is much easier than for a non-pinlock visor.

The tint level once it has 'reacted' is only very slight. Nothing compared to a dark visor. However I think it is just enough to take the worst of the glare off the morning sun.

However, I think mine has some kind of fault. Just to the right side of the centre of the insert is a 4 inch band of some kind of 'misting'. It's hard to describe but it looks as if it would if you were holding it in a beam of light. I can just slightly see it when riding. I found that some of the reflected light through the visor seemed kind of distorted and I'm not sure if this is the reason why.

I have another one coming so I will soon see.
