Hey guys,

What's the best solution for helmet fog up?

I've heard about a clear sheet that sticks on the inside of the visor, not sure how effective they are.



Cheers.

Fog city works well and are probably the best solution

have used fog city and pin lock ones.

personally I preferred the pin lock ones, more annoying to install but never fogged up on me again and was available in differing colours. The orange 1 was good for day and night riding.

fog city was a sticky one that i found still fogged up and was not removable / replaceable

Any silicone cleaner i.e plexus etc will keep it fog free for a short period, like ride to and from work...

What helmet do you have as i really have no prob with any fogging no matter how cold it is?

Have you tried installing a breath guard?

:ayyy:yep the breath guards are the go and the higher up the guard goes the better to direct your breath downwards.My shoei is only a shortish one but does the job well ,i used most of the anti fog and fog city etc but the breath guard is the go.

Yeah I had a breath guard but it still seemed to fog up a bit...My helmet is a shoei Z-II..

I just bought an Rjays fog-free visor film, the bloke at MCA's says it's the same as the other brands just half the price at $14.95 plus an additional 10% discount which they are running in store...

I just applied it against the visor, not sure if I did it right, there seems to be a gap between the film and the visor it self, is this how it's supposed to fit??

i had afog city and loved it! untill i cleaned it :(

the anti fog stuff scratches. dont but a tinted one wither, or the transition ones.

Oxford make a cheaper version, they work ok, if it was for track i'd stick it inside my clear and leave my tinted standard.

on the road i stuck it inside my tinted and just got used to riding in the dark with it.

+1 for pinlock, and you can fit a tinted one - easy to remove if it gets dark on you and loocks the same as a tinted visor ;)

I've tried a Fogg Off breath guard and found it didn't work properly without much fiddling with fitment each time I put the helmet on. I wear specs too so if there was any minor leak around the bridge of the nose my lens would fog up immediately. I therefore found it restricted my breathing as I'd be forever trying to breath downwards.

Cat crap I had no joy with either. It just smeared onto the visor and if I rubbed it in too much it didn't work for long. Also it rubbed off easily.

I've been tempted by the anti-fog adhesive films but thought they'd make the overall visor a little blurry as they're not as clear as the visor plastic alone. Are the visor sticky lens any good?

A wee spot of washing up liquid on your finger. Rub it over the inside of your visor and you won't fog up for a day or so. Saying that, my X-11s don't fog up at all.
