Antifog stuff

[awa355]

Hi, Anybody found a good anti fog applicant yet? I ride each night in the Waikato and fog can be a real hassle.with clear riding glasses and helmet visor ( part urban, part rural ). Visability gets cut in half with fogging up.

I have tried rain x antifog and Scott's antifog. Neither last very long. Are there any other makes avalible? Cheers.Arthur

What type of helmet do you have? You might be able too get a antifog insert rather than a appilcation

P.s a piece of tape works!

Yeesh mate! This has been covered a lot on this site.
Here goes, IMHO the anti fog inserts are by far and away the best solution.
Depending on which brand of helmet you have (Arai, Shoei etc..) you can buy a visor and insert affair called a pinlock.
If this set up is not available for your helmet you can buy just the insert that sticks to the inside of your visor which does the same job but is a more awkward affair to set up and once on it's a done deal.
Try to find a Pinlock set up for your helmet first, if not ask your local bike shop about the antifog aftermarket inserts.

I would recommend Pro grip does a brillent job of stoping the fog and cuts glare slightly

I used to get this issue alot and investigated the pin lock system, but it wasn't for my helmet. When visiting Motomail, I came across this product (http://www.motoretail.co.nz/product.cfm?ID=126)which I think is awesome. Now i ride with the visor down all the time, Akl to Rotorua at night with no fog what so ever...

Spray soapy water, let it dry. This is what we used to do for paintball all the time when we didnt have any 'products'.

A product called 'cat crap' works OK about $10 from your bike shop. Note to need to do about 3 applications for it to work properly.

[lostinflyz]

cant be used in every situation.

[alanzs]

Pinlock works better than anything I have ever used, and I have tried almost everything available. Stops fogging completely. The inserts work, but the pinlock is the best, by far. IMO.

+1 for the pinlock system but this only sorts your visor out. As for glasses, you could try products like 'de-mist' etc - go to your local hardware store and see whats available, read the bottles to see how many applications are required for the product to be effective.

I think the guy who comes up with a pinlock system for glasses will be a very rich man.

Rubbing the inside of the visor with a cut raw potato is suppoed to work.

My Nolan helmet came with the pinlock insert, though not fitted. I tried the helmet 'as is' and found that it did fog up really easily. It doesn't come with a breath guard, so I just kept it open a crack. Then I fitted the pinlock insert and tried it - it does not fog up at all, that insert really works!

[Kendog]

Cat crap is good, visor inserts are better.

[Okey Dokey]

A tiny drop of washing-up liquid, you know the type you use to wash dishes in the sink. Smear it around the inside of the visor and leave it. Cheapest anti-fog treatment I know.

Unless you've got a helmet & visor like mine which just doesn't fog up! Lucky me.

LASIK.

I got an insert from Motomail for about $20 which does the job on my clear visor. I don't tend to use the tinted one in situations where it can fog, so I haven't felt the need to buy another one.

That works for me too. A bit of dishwashing liquid on a soft cloth, then like polishing a car. Put it on, leave it for 5 minutes, buff it off. Lasts about a week between applications, and works wonders.

makes the inside of your helmet smell like lemon too. :whistle:

Pinlock is Ok (I have two), but a treated visor such as Shark and others (HJC?) use is better yet.

never tried a pinlock but my shark kit has NEVER fogged. even leaving helemt on visor closed pouring rain for about 40 min. Great piece of kit i reckon

Use a piece of tape (Same colour as your helmet) where your visor closes so it stays open a tiny bit hence lets fresh air in and less likely to fog, of course doesn't work in extreme situations.

I don't like having my visor down unless above 70kmh for some reason?

[jamiey]

My trick is shaving foam. Rub it on the visor, let it dry then buff off. Simple as and works a treat. Makes the inside of your lid smell nice too

Get the flip mask variety - they work really well 'cos you can keep your glasses on while putting the helmet on - that way there is no dramatic temerature change on the lens which usually (for me anyway) caused my glasses to fog up. I have had no trouble this winter since I got my N103

I use this green stuff that comes in a bottle. Spray it on the inside of your visor and then rub it off. It works pretty damn good, and a bottle will last you years.

It works pretty damn good, and a bottle will last you years.Scott Anti-Fog Cleaner (saw you used this in another post). It works fine. For one day. Then you have to keep applying it every damn day!

[Smiff-ta]

I tiried Cat Crap, worked out.

Got a clear sitcker insert thing for about $50 for my AGV which is the business.

Haven't had any problems in the Hamilton fog since.
