Got mine yesterday its really good bit tricky to get fitted but works great I can breathe as heavy as Gary Glitter in a playground and doesn't mist, seems to be a decent tint when combined with my 50% (Lol) tinted lidl visor

Mine arrived today....

Seems pretty good, fiddly to fit but having someone hold my visor and bend it a bit so that it was flatter made it a lot easier to install.

Haven't used it on the road yet, will give it a crack tomorrow. Going on SQL's description it works well Laughing

Universal fit with or without pins.
There are two little indents for pins if you have them.

Doesn't it make an already tinted visor a bit too dark?

No its fine I put in in my Lidls tinted visor and its great.

It seems to work fine, I did however get a crease in mine because the dog collected the post but its fine the instructions are very clear.

and for £3.50 who cares Thumbs Up its cheaper than a pinlock, foggy mask or cat crap.

A pinlock doesn't meet the requirements to be a visor you can have it opaque if you like.

If these are like the fog city stick on things, you get a limited life, they have some kind of stuff applied on the outer bit to stop misting, it gums up after a while and you then have to bin the insert or scrub the gunk away and have a tinted insert that fogs up (albeit slower than the normal visor would).

No, they aren't the chances of being stopped with a fully black visor is remote anyway but as pinlocks aren't visors they mean nothing, you wouldn't think twice about wearing sunglasses would you.
