Breath guard /deflector. what do you use?

[locked]

Hello all

I am looking for a breath guard for my shark s500 helmet. I've been looking around for a while now but the only ones I can find are cheaps ones from Ebay or the stuff from the oxford range but i have been told to stay away from oxford products.

do any of you guys use them and if so which one?

Thanks

I have one thats part of my HJC helmet but i dont like wearing it as it feels like its chocking my face, plus i cant scratch my nose while riding lol, so far the anti mist on the clear visor works good plus i leave it open a tad.

My S800 came with one and to be honest, it's pretty useless.

If you're looking for one to prevent the visor from steaming up, I'd much more recommend an anti fog insert like this.

I bought my tinted visor from the NEC show last saturday and as soon as i stepped outside it fogged up almost immediatly. Even riding with the lid partially open while wearing a baraclarva it still fogged up pretty quick.

I needed to be riding 40mph + to get rid of the fog which isnt ideal

Just got a Foggy breathguard for my HJC HQ-1 and it works a treat.. without it my tinted visor fogs up within seconds at anything below 20 mph.

Cheers
Olly.

Open your visor and stop wasting your money.

I used to wear one of those pollution masks, the neoprene ones from Respro. That sorted out over 10 years of commuting in all weather with limited fogging. It would still mist up in really cold, wet conditions, but it generally worked well...

...then I discovered Pinlock. Dunno if they do them for Shark, but I have clear Pinlock inserts on both my clear and tinted visors for a Shoei XR1000. Absolute magic. Used daily for the last three years without a single hint of fogging.

Pinlock doesn't seem to work for some people, but it's never let me down. I think competing products like Fog City etc are near enough as effective. I only use Pinlock because one came free with my helmet and I was converted.

Arai Pinlock combined with the lids built in breath deflector.
get more fogging arond the pinlock which isnt a huge issue for me, just hinders pehiperial vision a bit

Foggy for me.

I don't really wear it to stop the visor misting up, I wear mine to stop my lips getting as chapped, as it tends to deflect the air away from my mouth. However, since I got my new AGV it does have a tendency to blow ice cold air into my eyes on occasion...

Plus it looks cool when you flick your black visor up

Used to use a Foggy mask but for them to be effective they have to sit very close to your face which means when you take your helmet off it has a tendancy to try and rip your eyeballs out of your face...

I now use my Streetfighters buff/neck tube ( in a very fetching Green may I add ), I have the visor open on to the first click to allow air to circulate and in serious instances of misting over I use sheer will power, as in " Come on come on come on, de-mist de-mist god dammit, I can't see shit, come on come on "*...

* Normally followed by sheer blind panic with not a thought of lifting the visor...

Hi

Do you wear glasses? Having tried a breath guard a while back I found that they tended to just direct breath up either side of my nose and steam up my glasses.

All the best

I just used the original defog guard thing that came with my helmet. It was utter crap but looked cool.

Sadly I lost it. It's now somewhere on the floor in a government building and can't go back and get it

I just leave my visor open a bit which works fine most of the time but makes your face really cold. I want a mask to look like a ninja. (even though pirates are better )
