Whilst I was in picking up some new spark plugs for the bike I spotted some of this sitting on the counter.

I asked young mate if it was any good and he said it was brilliant. He even sounded sincere.
At $13.50 it's not overly cheap for 48ml but with a helmet which fogs at even the slightest hint of cool air I figured I would take a shot.
Now I haven't tested it fully yet but after a quick spray and wipe over, I sat here with my lid on for about 10 minutes breathing as heavily as I could, my visor didn't even look like fogging. Not even the slightest hint.
Also I think I got a bit keen and gave it a good spray but I imagine a tiny squirt would be ample to do it right.
That said, I'd suggest this tiny can will last quite a while if the application itself is not quick to disappear. We will see.
I know it's heading into summer soon (Aus) but if anyone has issues with fogging I'd say this stuff is well worth a few bucks to try it out.
Anyone else tried it for longer than 10 minutes ?  ____________________ meh |

Yes i've used it. If applied properly it'll last a good few days.
Not worth using if your visor already has an anti-fog coating or pinlock (obviously)
I found the best way to apply was spray onto kitchen roll and wipe once, that way you eliminate any smearing.
Oh, and only rinse your visor in water...don't use detergents.

I use it.
Its Ok, but does not last long on the visor. You need to clean and reapply at least once a week, or even more often when real wet and cold...
My can is about 2 years old, so that gives you some idea of how good it is, as i ride all year round.
Usually apply like. Spray on a cloth and wipe on till all smears gone. This seems to be one of the products where less is more  ____________________ Just because my bike was A DIVVY, does not mean i am...... |

I use it on my specs as I have a pinlock insert, but like to close the visor most of the time.
I think it's fairly good and I use it each morning and finds it easily lasts for my commute 2x45mins.
It cost £3.95 in the UK which according to xe is 7.88 AUD so that price you're paying is pretty steep even with a worldwide shipping. ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |
