DaveTheAffable Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have seen "visor" holders, but the pinlock visor/inserts seem very delicate, especially the inside/gasket side. How does one carry it/store it when is not installed on the helmet? Link to comment
Guest Kakugo Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 You'll find the inserts are much, much sturdier than you'd expect. A good way to store it is to wrap it in paper towels and put it in a manila envelope. That way you'll avoid scratching, bending it too much and you'll protect the insert slots. Link to comment
DiggerJim Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 An old tube sock. Or even a new one - couple of bucks at Wally World. Link to comment
pokorskij Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Paper towel is a poor choice, it will scratch and should not be used for cleaning shields for the same reason. JMHO Link to comment
Frustrated_Diver Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Kitchen towel stitched closed on one and and up the side, making a long pocket. Also gives you a soft cloth to clean the shield with and can be thrown in the washer when it has removed enough bug guts. Link to comment
jjg3 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have one still in the package with a new visor which is why it isn't installed, but the one in the hat simply stays in the hat. They are a bit of a pain to remove/install. Why would you not just leave it in? Link to comment
Guest Kakugo Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sorry for not being clearer: I mean a soft paper towel, Scott to name but a brand. Link to comment
Witch_Doctor Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I put my clear visor in my Shoei helmet bag that came with my Qwest and stow it in my top-case when riding. That way if I want to switch, or it gets dark, it easy to access and stays clean. Link to comment

I considered leading it uninstalled, to provide extra clarity to the visor in general. Although it's not too bad, now that I see it requires some fooling around with, I may just leave it installed. I do like the soft kitchen towel idea though. Link to comment
