Cold Weather Fogging Prevention....

[Bluefront]

I wonder what everyone is doing? I've used several wipe/spray-on solutions in the past....with mixed results, mostly bad.

With a full face helmet I always had to open the face shield when stopped, and sometimes partially open the shield all the time. Not good. I'm using a 3/4 helmet now with a face shield. I've been think of getting another sort of device.......



This is a Suzuka Fog Buster. I like the idea of breath having a way to exit the thing outside the helmet. Looks like it would work. Anybody.....?

Here's a fancy double-lens design face shield.......



It's sold as a snowmobile accessory, but it should work just fine for a scooter. Supposedly you can ride in the up position without it getting blown off.

Bluefront,
Those winter halfface masks work, I have one and you can breath but your faceshield does not fog up. I us it all the time in the winter. But you don't have to get a fancy one like you posted they have way cheaper ones that fit over your nose and under your chin. They work great.

Hi Bluefront,

Here is a system that really works amazingly well.

And here is a review of the Pinlock system (it is a little old, but still relevant)

We have used this system for about one year now, in all sorts of weather conditions, and it has performed flawlessly.

Here's lookin' at ya,

Thanks for the replies......but I've always had problems getting a new helmet to fit properly, and to be easy to use. I usually take the XXL helmet size, and I wear glasses. So ordering a helmet without first trying it on is a crap-shoot for me.

I've seen and tried on two modular helmets that fit ok, but with the shield part that touched the edges of my glasses (small-framed), and was very uncomfortable. The usual full-face helmets require putting on your glasses (through the shield opening) after the helmet is on (and taking off the glasses before helmet removal). This is way too much trouble for shorter rides around town.

That's why I hesitate to order any helmet.....without trying first.

But here's one that looks good on paper......seems to have many good features for cold-weather use, like double-lens design, venting, etc.



But I'm still considering options that allow the use of my current helmet, and eliminate the fogging. Perhaps I could combine the use of the first two items in this thread......
