The pinlock is a system to fit an internal anti-fog screen. Acts sort of like double glazing, its a plastic visor with a soft bead around the edge, the two pins on the helmet visor squeeze it tightly into place.
I got a HJC RPHA 10+ a couple of months or so ago and it came with one in the box. Works quite well, no fog issues even in the cold rain this morning.
The only issue I have found with it are that if you need to wash your visor water can get between the pinlock and the visor as the seal moves a bit when the visor flexes. You can simply remove it etc but my pins are starting to deform the pinlock visor a little so not sure how long it will last.

The pins are off centre making the fit adjustable, rotating them tightens them against the pinlock visor for after its been removed a couple of times to make the bead snug against the helmet visor again!
If the insert is not supplied with the helmet you can buy one for about £20. It worths every penny because stops the visor from fogging when cold/winter/rain, you can buy one from here:

Also would be keen on knowing what it's like in extreme conditions?
Would you sweat like a Page 3 girl in a Syrian mosque, or freeze like a crack head Koala Bear in the North Pole? (the politest metaphor's i could come up with)

:lol :lol ill be out for a blast tomorrow, had a ride already, it is quite , very light, it is tight in side but feels very comfortable ( a lot of padding ) but I think this is removeble, don't think it would get to hot.it does say in the instructions it is not designed for ear pieces but ill try mine tomorrow. Had a hjc for years , was a great lid , Brought a Duchinni d2111 one of these dual purpose helmets and could not get on with it, very noisy and cheaply made, one of the screws that secured the visor fell out after a couple of trips .
the night i was born, lord the moon stood a fire red., my poor mother her crying,
she said the gypsy was right, and she fell right dead

Should be comfortable padding, rather than tight, but the padding will ease after a while and mould to the shape of your head.
