Breath guard stops fogging and noise

[erix]

After I lent my helmet(HJC) to a friend and took the breath guard out for hygiene purpose, I found out that the noise level has increased quite bit as well as the fogging problem. Havnt test it on highway yet but I now understand why some people say they need a earplug.

Just share my experience, Breath guard stops fogging and noise, so try it before you buy a expensive anti-fog visor and an earplug which isolates you from the surroundings on the road. (Yeah, IMHO, I still thinks it is not so safe and comfortable)

my mate all says his helmet is too loud maybe it cause hes go no breather gard

I find their pretty good for riding with your visor up as well, keeps a fair bit of the wind out your eyes. But ofcourse this is dangerous and giant killer bees may fly into your eye so you shouldn't do this.

But yes, they work well.

Same with Facemasks aswell, and it makes you look like a ninja.

I'd be more worried about the Killa Beez myself. Get one of those bastards in your eye and you got problems.

I wont recommond visor up... just imagine what will happen when your eye hit a bee or anyting your visor will normally block at 100k/h. ouch...


I tried the helmet today on highway. It is louder than before! Putting my breath guard back tomorrow....

Are they those shaped insert thingies that pop into the chin guard and sit in front of your nose and mouth? (I'm guessing they are). It kept popping out with my FFM helmet and I had to take it out in the end because the lugs on one end wouldn't snap into place at all; same thing is threatening with my Shark. I honestly didn't see any difference with or without so will do some experimenting now that I'm more aware. Thanks.

Ya wanna know whats stops fogging?
Spend $35-50 on a fog city pro visor insert (clear film that sticks to the inside of your visor).
I'd known about these for quite a while, but never got around to getting one.

I could NOT fog it. That was TRYING to fog the thing. Close all my vents, close the visor. Pull me head down so the base of the helmet is blocked by my jacket. Huff and puff all I liked (at night in the cold) and it would not fog one single bit.

Totally recommend.

Wipe the dry visor inside and out with dishwash detergent - just a little - until it's wiped off. Then try and fog it. Works on spectacles too.

I got a HJC one kicking around home I dont want.
if your coming to the sale let me know if you want it, will throw it in free on top of another deal:rolleyes:

They are good however they don't last very long. Start fogging up after a few months

Can they be fitted to any full-face helmet?

And 'not so safe and comfortable' as what??

[TerminalAddict]

Yep, it stops fog as well, however, one of my mate got one piece of this kind insert from mt mtc few months eailer, it works well at begining, but, i dont know if its my lazy mate didnt do any mantaince or cleaning for it. it becomes unclear and it has devloped a problem of "aging" like any plastic does...

No, I brought the breathguard specificly desige for HJC CL-14, I dont think it will fitted in any other brand. but I did saw some other brands have their own breathguard.

as you cant hear anything(like a car) near you, which MAY put you in danger situation. Anyway, Its just my personal perfrence, while the breath guard solved the problem of fog and as bonus it reduced the noise level at the same time. and it cost as the same as an anti-fog film insert. ($45 if I remember right)

Oh, right! anther bonus is the hygiene factor. when you dont know how to refuse someone borrowing your helmet. take the breathguard off, and put it back on when they return.
