Theory on Seattle Traffic

Great Stories

I have a theory about drivers in Seattle traffic.

I suppose my theory is biased, as a motorcyclist.

I have been commuting via motorcycle for about six years. Four of those years have been year-round here in the Pacific Northwest. My research has been via thousands of miles of traffic interaction on Seattle surface streets and highways, express lanes, rush hour traffic, sun, rain, mist, fog, hail, sleet, and even a couple of snowy jaunts home. I do also ride on desirable roads, however this theory of mine is not based on those rides.

The Pinlock System

The Pinlock fog resistant system is made up of two elements - a Pinlock ready shield and a Pinlock lens. The Pinlock is a very flexible system, allowing you to switch the color of your lens adjusting to changing weather conditions. You can click one lens out and put the next one in. Make your choice.

Best fog-resistant system

The Pinlock system is based on three basic principles which together, work like nothing else:
1	Moisture absorbing material — Unlike the face shield, the Pinlock insert lens is made out of a soft, porous plastic.
2	Material thickness — Because thicker material absorbs more moisture and offers more impact protection.
3	Double lens system — The air-tight pocket in between the Pinlock insert lens and the face shield creates an extra insulation layer further increasing the anti-fogging properties of the total system. Fogging up is a thing of the past!
Pinlock lenses are created out of a moisture absorbing plastic. The silicone seal on the lens creates an airtight pocket between the shield and lens. The lens is placed between two adjustable eccentric pins, making it easy to install or switch lenses as weather conditions change.
