What is the best way to store a Pinlock® lens?
Store the Pinlock® in a dark place that is free from moisture and dust. A soft cloth or plastic bag should do the trick. Our lenses are sensitive to scratches due to the microfibre technology, so please handle them with care.
What is a DKS number?
DKS is our own unique product coding system. Pinlock® lenses are customized to the shape of the helmet visor. By using DKS numbers, it is possible to distinguish the lenses from each other. Fun fact, it is named after our founder.
Where can I buy a Pinlock® lens for my helmet?
It is not possible to buy a lens from us, so the best way is to search online or visit your local store. Our unique DKS number, which corresponds to the correct Pinlock® lens for your helmet, will help you find the right lens. Check the product page of your helmet to find the DKS number.
