Cons

3. Pinlock lenses require occasional maintenance and eventual replacement over time

The Pinlock lens is one of the most effective anti-fogging solutions available for motorcycle helmets, and the Supertech R10 Shield Pinlock Lens GEN1 is the official Alpinestars replacement version for the S-R10 helmet range. It fits into the Pinlock-compatible Supertech R10 shield and creates an insulating layer between the lens and the visor that prevents condensation forming on the inner face. The result is a significantly reduced fogging problem in the cold, wet, or humid conditions that British riding regularly presents. The official Alpinestars part ensures a consistent, correct fit with the R10 shield system.
