Problem Solved!!!  The guy at Cycle Gear says the Fog City folks became "Progrip", and the lens is "lightsensitive" and darkens automatically. Perfect to put on my clear face shield that came with the Bell helmet. Now I have a separate shield for summer and winter.

Oh, and it's universal.

quick update - I bought the "ProGrip" universal setup after I had ordered the "Pinlock" for my old Shoie helmet, so I now have both to compare. The cost difference is significant; Pinlock insert & compatible shield = about $80 (although Bell has no compatible shield), while the universal stick-on was only $25 at Cycle Gear.

Performance seems to be identical, and spectacular.
Pinlock is removable, ProGrip is stick-on
Pinlock is clear, ProGrip is auto-darkening (not very dark)

At the end of the day, I will keep the Pinlock for my Shoie, and use the ProGrips for my new Bell. I got the fancy auto-darkening Bell shield with the helmet, and I want to install a ProGrip in it to see if the two auto-darkening shields together will be better. I put the one ProGrip I bought on the clear shield that came with the helmet, so I have lots of options.
