Anti fog treatments

Postby mmamster » Sun Jun 01, 2008 7:52 pm

All

Looking for a solution to fogging up on my helmet.

I have a Shoei TZR helmet and get fogging on mostly colder days. Especially the case at track days where I am doing a lot of work/breathing hard.

Can anyone suggest a visor replacement/visor treatment (eg a spray)/nose piece maybe, or even a different helmet. This problem is bugging me as I have to contiunually open the visor to clear it.

Cheers
Mark

there is the Antifog film that you can put on your visor that are meant to be fail safe

Fog city, stick on anti fog inserts work really well, I do a lot of winter riding and found them to be really good, although in early morning, late after noon with a low sun it can be a bit harder to see once they get a bit old.

There is another Fog off thingo that myself and Hoff have got. Velcro's inside the chin bar on your lid and works brilliantly

Wipe some washing up liquid on the inside of your visor & polish off with paper towel ;)

Fog City the best thing ever. You can even get a transitional one that changes shade when hit by sunlight.
They are about $50 for the original brand but there are now many copies on teh market. I have a Fog City and swear by it.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

I used a fogcity on my old HJC and Shoei helmets....worked really well, but they needed it too. My current Shark helmet has much better ventilation and so far hasn't needed one
