Foggy helmet

[Christoffee]

I was noobing to work this morning on my first rainy ride, and I got terribly foggy. I'd been expecting this from reading about, but I was surprised at how wet it got in there.

From reading about it seems I have 4 options: pinlock, fog city films, anti fog spray, or biggles goggles.

So I thought I'd try my hand at a poll to see how you guys feel. Vote away, and do let me have your thoughts.

Thanks for all the input guys. Us noobs love it!

I just leave it open a bit, or even a lot.

Pinlock is a must on any helmet, I borrowed a lid recently with no pinlock and it was a PITA

Pinlock.

I tried 3 of them sprays and none of them worked.

Use what the racers use. Pinlock.

It isn't infallible in extreme temperature changes.

Pinlock or go home

[Tungtvann]

I have a pinlock on my new helmet, but used Rainex anti-fog on my old visor. Both work really well, although I get a slight 'dazzle' effect from lights at night time with my pinlock. Not so with the rainex.

Pinlock.

Sod any fart-arse sprays, just use a pinlock. Just don't scratch it.

Pin lock is the easiest, although if you're not riding in rain often popping it open a crack will do the job, but depending on the helmet/speed you're riding at it can lead to unbearable whistling and/or a horrible blast of air hitting your eyes

The fog sprays do sometimes work, but its just not worth the hassle spraying it, and over time you'll pay way more than you'll spend on the pin lock anyway

[Rogerborg]

Fog City inserts can work, but get a Fog City branded one and be very careful fitting it.

Pinlock is better, I wouldn't get a visor that wasn't pinlock ready now.

Pinlock plus Foggy Mask ftw.

[Christoffee]

Cheers everyone. The results are in and looks like I'll be pinlocking myself up!

doesnt look like they do pinlock for viper brands? Is fogcity universal ones any good?

Edit: Seen the replies above. Is there a pinlock for viper helmets?

Edit: I can see there is a universal one.

Foggy mask keeps breath off of glasses too. With just that visor stays down and locked all ride. Pinlocked visor comes out when it's cold. Don't like using it after dark.

[andyscooter]

ride with the visor open

i do and never fog up

i have it down enough to stop the rain hitting me in the eyes though

Foggy mask.

It deflects your breath downwards rather than on to the visor.

[CG Sam]

The only time I've ever had a problem with my visor fogging up is if I close it right from the off, if I leave it open a couple of minutes then close it I don't have much at all if there's any.

I've got a lid with the new Pinlock 100% Max or whatever it's called and it's superb. Don't know how I lived without it. So glad I spent the extra £20

[TT_Man]

Tried shift it anti fog spray

Bought a shoei GT Air with Pinlock- never looked back

Think of it more as womanning down. It doesn't seem quite so onerous then. Works for me anyway.
