As far as fogging,in my hockey playing days we would put shampoo on the itech face masks and wipe it off. Do not rince it off. Just use a towel and buff the shampoo off. Never had a fog issue

Sounds like a good tip. Back in my scuba diving days I'd lay a good hork in my mask, spread it around, a light rinse and no fog issues. I wouldn't recommend the technique for the helmet visor though.

Good frickin' luck convincing a FF wearer to go 3/4 or 1/2 due to cold weather and fogging. Wow.

Mine came with a small snap in piece that covers my nose. That does help quite a bit with the fogging, but I usually leave it out just because it feels funny to have my nose and mouth 'separated' from my face. lol
There must be a reason but why do you bother backing your bike into the garage? Why not just back it out??

I just bought my first full-face. Can someone describe what a pinlock shield is?

It's a shield with two pins near the pivot that hold an inner fog free shield. It works like the thermal pane glass in you house.
