FogCity's are pretty good. It's an insert into your visor. Pro Guard make one as well. Most bike shops will stock these.Originally Posted by Midnight 82

But when its really cold I now get condensation on the bottom of the visor
I use a progrip insert thing, really good, supposed to be light sensitive too, but my visor has UV coating so it doesn't darken much. Only problem I have now is that I wear glasses in my helmet and they fog up when it's really cold... I need some tiny little progrip inserts for them too. Defintely worth the $30 for the helmet insert.
Cheers,
Sedge.
yeah progrip light sensative anti-fog insert,best $30 I ever spent.

Can you cut them down to fit your glass or do they shatter, just an idea. Thanks for your time Chris

The progrips are a one size fits (almost) all, they are flexible thin plastic with a self adhesive stand-off ring around the outside... Hard to describe, you couldn't cut it though, wouldn;t work anymore. The plastic doesn't actually touch the visor, only the 4mm self adhesive bit around the outside. Actually, I'm doing a pretty crap job of explaining, anyone else ?

Just out of curiosity how much does this anti fog stuff cost. A good ol' bottle of hair shampoo with glycerine will do the job.

This subject has been thrashed to death in an earlier thread, but the guts of it is:
If you have a Nolan helmet, get the Nolan Pinlock inserts. They are the best.
Next best would be Fog City inserts - about $30 and permanently attach to the inside of the visor. Use a new, clean and dry visor or there is a real risk it won't stay stuck for long. Clean it with a very soft cloth (sweatshirt material is good) and windowlene or similar.
Third (and cheapest) is the Progrip insert. I have had a couple and admit they do a great anti-fogging job, but scratch easily (compared to Fog City), the light sensitive model lost its light sensitivity in short order and they don't fit alot of helmets. Fog City, on the other hand, make special models for specific applications. The Shoei versions have better adhesive than the rest, so unless you have a brow-vented Arai, go for one of these.
What ever you use, don't put silicone spray or suchlike on it - that will prevent it from doing its job.
ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.
Yep pretty much the advise I got from multi- Grand Challange Riders. Anti-fog wipes worked for a little while but didn't last the Challange. Fogging was a major problem for me during the GC because of the rain and mist. Have brought a new visor for my KBC and am going to insert a Fog City anti-fog on it. I was also advised to aviod the light sensitive version of the Progrip (clear was OK) as they do not go fully clear. This is a problem especially if you are night riding or are riding in poor visibility (which is usually when you need the anti-fog the most).Originally Posted by What?

Oh yeah... should have mentioned that about the light sensitive ones... Don't get them, can't see crap at night... I've got a clear one, it says light sensitive but doesn't do anything, which is good. I was advised to get the progrip as it was more flexible than the fogcity and as I wear glasses the visor is up and down all the time. Don't know how you'd scratch it though ? perhaps 'What?' has a longer sharper nose than me ?

As well as Fog City and Pro Grip, there is the Megashield at $19.95.
