Adventure Helmet Fogging: Goggles, Visors, Fixes
Adventure helmet fogging behaves differently from fogging in a sports or touring lid, and the reason is how these helmets get used rather than how they are built. An adventure or dual-sport helmet spends a good part of its life at walking pace, on a rider who is working hard, in air that is colder…
Motorcycle Sun Glare: 7 Fixes for Low Sun Riding
The short answer Motorcycle sun glare is at its worst in the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, when the sun sits low enough to shine straight under your brow and straight through your visor. The single most effective fix that works while you are still moving is a photochromic visor, because it…
How to Clean a Pinlock Insert Without Damaging It
An anti-fog insert is a delicate surface, and knowing how to clean a Pinlock insert properly is what decides whether it lasts a season or a fortnight. The insert is not a second visor. Its inner face carries a soft moisture-absorbing coating that behaves nothing like the hard outer surface of the visor it sits…
Visors That Fit Multiple Helmets: 9 Cross-Brand Picks
Most replacement visors fit one helmet and nothing else.

Visors that fit multiple helmets are the exception rather than the rule, and knowing which ones they are changes…
How to Store a Motorcycle Visor Without Scratching It
A spare visor spends most of its life off the helmet. It sits in a pannier, a drawer, or the bottom of a rucksack, and that is where a surprising amount of visor damage actually happens. Learning how to store a motorcycle visor matters more than most riders expect, because a polycarbonate shield is far…
Visors for Less Common Helmet Brands: 8 Ranked

Visors for less common helmet brands are listed on this site under thirteen separate brand pages, and the fastest route to yours is to open your brand’s page…
Open Face Helmet Fogging: Why Jet Lids Mist Up
Open face helmet fogging is less common than misting inside a full face lid, but it still catches riders out on cold mornings and at traffic lights. A jet helmet leaves your mouth and chin in open air, so most of your breath never reaches the visor at all. When an open face setup does…
Visors That Fit AXXIS Helmets: 9 Fitment Groups
Visors that fit AXXIS helmets: the nine fitment groups, ranked Working out which visors that fit AXXIS helmets actually exist is harder than it should be, and the reason is not the helmets.

Remove Bugs From a Motorcycle Visor Without Scratching It
Ride anywhere in Britain between May and September and the visor collects insects. Most riders only notice at the fuel stop, by which point the remains have baked hard in the airflow and gone the colour of the road. Learning how to remove bugs from a motorcycle visor is less about finding a magic product…
Visor Fogging on the Outside: Causes and How to Clear It
Most riders learn to deal with breath fog on the inside of a visor long before they meet the other kind. Visor fogging on the outside catches people out because every habit they have built up — cracking a vent, fitting an insert, wiping the inner face at a junction — does nothing at all.…
