Product Information

Full details

This HJC Pinlock Anti-Fog Insert Lens is designed for adult riders using HJC i90 helmets with HJ-33 visors. Its key benefit is providing clear, fog-free vision in various conditions, enhancing safety and comfort. A key caveat is that tinted versions, including this grey ProtecTINT model, are for track use only and not road legal. The insert utilizes moisture-absorbing plastic and a silicone seal to create an insulating air layer, preventing visor fogging.

FAQs

What HJC helmets is this Pinlock for?

This specific HJC Pinlock Anti-Fog Insert Lens is designed for HJC i90 helmets that use the HJ-33 visor.

How do I know if my visor is compatible?

Your visor must be Pinlock-ready, meaning it has two adjustable eccentric pins pre-installed on the inside surface. This Pinlock will not fit visors without these pins.

Is this tinted Pinlock road legal?

No, this grey ProtecTINT Pinlock is NOT road legal. Tinted and dark visors are intended for track or off-road use only. For road use, you must use a clear or light smoke Pinlock insert.

How does the ProtecTINT technology work?

ProtecTINT lenses change their tint level automatically based on exposure to UV light. They darken in bright sunlight to reduce glare and become clearer in low-light conditions.

How do I clean the Pinlock insert?

Clean the insert gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the anti-fog properties.

What is the difference between Pinlock 30, 70, and 120?

These numbers represent different levels of anti-fog performance. Pinlock 30 is standard, Pinlock 70 offers enhanced fog-free performance, and Pinlock 120 provides maximum anti-fog resistance, ideal for extreme temperature differences.

Can I swap Pinlock inserts easily?

Yes, the Pinlock inserts are designed to be easily clipped onto and removed from the visor pins, allowing you to swap them based on your riding needs or to clean them.

Troubleshooting

Visor still fogs up.

Ensure the Pinlock insert is correctly and securely seated. Check that the silicone seal is intact and making good contact with the visor. Make sure the visor itself is clean. For optimal performance, consider a Pinlock 70 or 120 rated insert for higher fogging resistance.

Pinlock insert does not fit properly.

Verify that you have the correct Pinlock model for your HJC i90 helmet and HJ-33 visor. Ensure the visor is Pinlock-ready and has the necessary eccentric pins. Adjust the pins slightly if they seem misaligned.

Difficult to install or remove the Pinlock.

Ensure the visor pins are properly aligned with the Pinlock's mounting holes. Do not force the insert; if it feels resistant, re-check alignment. Gentle pressure should be sufficient for installation and removal.

ProtecTINT feature is not changing color.

The ProtecTINT feature requires sufficient UV light to activate. Test in direct sunlight. If it still does not change, ensure the lens surface is clean and free from obstructions. If the issue persists, the lens may be faulty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Helmet Models: This Pinlock insert is designed specifically for HJC i90 helmets.
  • Visor Type: It is compatible only with HJC HJ-33 visors that are Pinlock-ready. This means the visor must have two adjustable eccentric pins pre-installed.
  • Check Your Visor: Before purchasing, ensure your helmet visor has the two small, adjustable pins. The Pinlock will not fit visors without these pins.

Setup:

  1. Locate Pins: Identify the two adjustable eccentric pins on the inside of your helmet's visor.
  2. Align Insert: Position the Pinlock insert so its edge aligns with the pins.
  3. Clip In: Gently press the Pinlock insert onto the pins. You may need to slightly adjust the pins for a snug fit.
  4. Secure: Ensure the insert is firmly seated and does not move.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the Pinlock insert using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the anti-fog coating and the lens material.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the Pinlock insert in a safe place, such as a protective pouch, to prevent scratches.
  • Swapping: The insert can be easily removed by gently unclipping it from the visor pins. This is useful for cleaning or switching to a different type of Pinlock lens.
