My Foggy Mask(ie. helmet visor mist preventer, rather than a device to make me look like Carl Fogarty) is now adjusted such that my visor stays pretty clear.

Unfortunately, whilst riding at >40mph, I get a blast of air directed into my left eye, which isn't that pleasant. If I breath out hard I can feel air getting through the same place.

There's obviously a small gap between the mask and my left cheek, but despite adjusting the mask numerous times, I can't seem to get it to sit quite correctly on the left. If I pull the nose-piece whilst the helmet is on and release it it will spring back and sit slightly better, but not perfectly.

I've not got a particularly big nose, although it's slightly wonky from a rugby incident. I'm now considering plastic surgery as it may be easier Wink

Has anybody else come up with any good methods for adjusting their Foggy Mask?

This is what I did with mine; Hold it firmly by the nose piece, pull gently until it detaches, drop in "pile of biking stuff that I wished I had never bought," fit a pinlock.

I can't really remember how I did mine Confused Mine sits pretty well the only time I get wind in my eyes is if the visor is slightly open so I either have to close it or open it fully Laughing

Just put it slightly lower in the helmet, it probably is too high so your not getting a good contact, your nose should be pulling up the fabric slightly so its taught, creating a seal, try pinching the clip too.

Fog city masks, best bit of rider kit I've ever had, been using them for my commutes/track days/racing for 7 years Thumbs Up

Move the flaps lower as Luke said. I'm considering stitching mine into my helmet liner so that it doesn't move and maintains the same position. The velcro has completely fluffed up the interior of my arai however which is why I want it to stay in place.
