Laughing Everyone seems to get foggy visor problems, but not (well so far) for me. I've got anti-fog visors for my helmet.
But!
My glasses always fog up if I am stationary or don't have my visor opened up all the way. It gets all misty from my breath.

Any ideas anyone? Neutral

a very light smear of washing up liquid will sort them.
put some on a bit of kitchen roll, 'clean' your glasses with it (it will look misty) then breathe on them and it will clear

Ive heard rubbing some washing up liquid over them then drying them works, or potato, but i wouldnt consider the pototoe for the smell Laughing
Or just get some of that fog/rain off stuff and put on your lenses, altho i think some coatings dont work with it, if there really special lenses.

Contact lenses or laser surgery are the only thing that REALLY work.

Breath downwards.

Make sure you have plenty of air getting into helmet.

I find that having anything over your mouth or tight under your helmet causes steam up's.

Just be very careful on what you put on glasses if you have a MAR coat on them.... Very easy to ruin it.

Mask? link?
I don't want to get contacts. I never wear glasses apart from if I am in a lecture (and sitting at the back cos I'm late Laughing ), or if I am driving at night or in poor weather. Apart from that I never wear my glasses, so I don't think contacts would be much of a good idea.

I'm pretty much like that - I only need glasses if I'm driving/riding in the dark, or at conference/cinema etc. But I hate riding with glasses, fogging up bothered me as did peripheral vision (seeing the frame when your doing shoulder checks etc. I went for contacts and it was all very easy. Many places do the free consultation and free trial. It only takes an hour or so of your time. Buy a small supply of the daily disposables and you're away. I wear mine once or twice a week and it is great.

Before that I used a foggy mask - if you get them set up right they do the job but i spent ages fiddling with it to get a good fit.

Are these any good? If so, I might get one of these as argos is somewhere easily accessible for me. Aswell as that, I could get the bike cover in the other topic.
