Tip re. visor steaming up

[Fallen Angel]

All that talk about keeping your helmet in a bag has made me remember the wee problem I had with my visor when I sat my CBT! It kept steaming up!

Is there a way to avoid that happening at all?

Cheers

Leave your visor a centimetre open.

[Fallen Angel]

Did I sound really stoopid asking that question

Nope. Just slightly silly.

[McJamweasel]

The trouble with that is that it gets cold.

Try Bob Heath visor spray - that should cure it.

I've just bought a fog city visor insert, seems to do the job quite well.

[T.C]

Fog City works very well as it acts like double glazing. Little bit dear at around £17 - £18, but they normally last the life of your visor and they don't affect vision clarity unless the weather is worse case scenario, even then it is still manageable!

Get a hyperoptics visor - It's a fogcity visor insert that changes colour according to ambient light conditions. It's worth the extra cash (it costs £30).

That ain't a silly question FA, it is one of the most annoying problems assosciated with motorcycling...when you need a visor down, it steams up, when you want to ride with it up, there are flies everywhere.

Some of the more expensive lids (like Arai) have a funky little catch that makes the visor 'stand-off' from the front of the helmet thereby demisting it.

Trouble is, in the one weather type where you REALLY need a visor, no amount of design, sprays or inserts are effective. I of course refer to freezing fog (you can't claim to have ridden motorcycles in bad weather untill you have had your eyebrows freeze.)

The only solution for this is to buy a plane ticket to Canada and buy yourself an HJC skidoo helmet which plugs into the wall at night to recharge and has a double glazed, HEATED visor I am going to try and get one mail order at some point before the next couple of winter rallies.

Having solved the riddle of the unmistable helmet visor, Stinkwheel turns his formiddable skills of deduction to tracking down the legend that is the fully waterproof, non-leak motorcycle glove.

Small dab of Swarfega rubbed on the inside until it dries & disappears, lasts about 6 months. Use dish soap if ya don't have Swarfega.

Gosh, aren't there some posh solutions out there to solve the steamy problem?!

I just open mine a tiny bit and in a second the steam is gone. I don't like having my visor down anyway because I feel claustrophobic, so I ride with it open when I'm in 30 zones (or until I get a fly in my eye).

[iCraig]

I use Holts Anti-Mist and Water Reppellent for Visors!

And it works amazingly well too, I also apply it to my glasses to stop them steaming up too.

Also I've found that you can learn to relax your breathing when riding etc, I do it alot at traffic lights without realising sometimes!

I found Fog City to be a cracking buy and an excellent piece of kit.

Even better is the pinlock system in the old Nolan I used to have, and in the Shoei I currently have.

Most excellent.

[RickHolt]

I've got what I can only describe as a double glazed visor, this is more than adequate in most weather. When it gets really cold I put the breathe deflector in. No problems at all really. That's with an Xlite-902 and it's standard accessories that come with it.

Respro Foggy Integral anti-fog face mask.

About £10-£12 & I wouldn't be without one.

i also find that fairy liquid works a treat as well, absolutely superb. put a bit on kitchen towel and rub into the inside of the visor and volla. the only problem been sometimes it sort of melts and blurs vision

[Kickstart]

[Noggin]

I use a foggy when I'm cold. I also have an Oxford ultra vision blue insert, that never steams up and it only cost about 7 quid.

I also have a Foggy mask insert, covers from my nose down, sticks to the inside of the helmet, breath gets directed downward. Almost all the time it works perfectly (unless there's a huge temp. difference but I usually don't ride in those!)

Also the tried and trusted 'open your visor a wee bit' method

If you've got a mid-top end HJC i.e. AC10, they have a built in breath deflector and when coupled with a hyperoptic's insert, they do a sterling job. Barely any mist apart from an extremely cold winter morning after you've had your cuppa)

But mind you, the huff is a bit of a bitch to wear (same goes for similar breath deflectors) and can ruin your glasses. Mine are becoming far too loose to wear comfortably as they get pushed outwards due to the protrusion of the breath deflector. Oh incidentally, do the brows on Arai visors do a good job reducing misting?

I go with the Fog City insert crew - bought my first one at the start of last winter and now I have no idea how I survived all those years of riding without one!
