Visor fogging in the cold

[p.dath]

A Pinlock visor is by far the best and most expensive solution. Google it.

+1. If you are going to be doing a bit of riding in the cold get one. Well worth the money.

You got a problem with that sonny?

Nope, not so long as you don't have one with me making a note on every thread you post stupid shit on, that your advise may be a crock of shit and shouldn't be listened to !

Of course I have no say in what you do whatsoever. Not only that, I also have no personal preference in what you do whatsoever. It does not affect me in the slightest, so you should feel reassured that you may conduct yourself 100% as you please at any time whatsoever.

Be assured, these same rights extend to me, so I will simply do as I choose.

Fair enough?

A Fog City insert is next best.

The way(s) to go.

Pinlock. The end.

Not all lids have visors than can be fitted with Pinlock, though, so there is still a place for Fogcity, for us mere mortals

im gonna check out a pinlock visor for my xr1000. the antifog, i could see working on my visor this morning, it didnt "fog" up on the inside, but my nostril breath made my sight "blurred" through the visor.
and it wasnt really even cold this morning!. wait til bloody june.

I use Scott anti fog cleaner. It cost me $12 and I've used it dozens of times and the bottle is still almost full. It's a great product, and I only need to re-apply it every week or so.

I guess one trick you could try (and I might try it too) is to flick up the visor before you know your going to have to slow down or stop.

Good system and does work very well. But when you forget and you're doing lots of filtering of traffic you have to hold your breath before you stop and then quickly pop the visor when you stop and gasp for air. Funny, but effective.

I've tried all sorts of anti fog stuff before and sure it works a bit if you keep re-applying it frequently which gets boring fast. I've found washing my visor with washing detergent and not fully rinsing it all off helps a little too.

Did that too and it was superb in the rain, but when you hit fog! The visor can and does INSTANTLY mist over, causing utter panic inside the helmet Scottish weather does test these things for you and on a regular basis... But it's sooo nice out here...

And thanks for the other memory... this one time in Kosovo. I picked a couple of journos up from an airport in Macedonia and came blasting back before it got dark and slippy... and whilst blasting back, you have to drive at warp speed over there dodging shell holes full of water as you go (even the cops), because they is all exceptionally mad fuckers and you're by far the slowest thing on the road in places)... anyway the car in front hit one of these shell holes and the windscreen instantly froze over (a very think veil). One of the journos in the back started hyper-ventilating, apparantly, but I was too busy squinting through an iced over windscreen, with my arm out the window and scraping the windscreen clear enough to find somewhere to pull over. It wasn't until later, that I found out he'd nearly died in a car smash and had spent an awful lot of time in traction... poor fella... thanks for the flashback

One thing for sure, you will have NO problems with a correctly fitted pinlock. I did a month touring in April/May Sth Is and had no issues from hot sun straight into torrential downpour. Recommend.

Got a drill? You can retro-fit a pinlock to pretty much anything.

[Mudfart]

so all a pinlock is, is a small hole in the visor up towards the hinge part, one hole each side?
and you really have seen someone else, or drilled the holes yourself?

[Vgygrwr]

The pinlock locks an inner layer to your visor with an air gap in between same idea as double glazing. You need a coulple of holes accurately drilled then a couple of pins and the inner insert. Google will give details. I still have problems with glasses fogging so still have to open visor on occasions.

Glycerine is your friend Get some hair shampoo that has this in it. and wash the inside with the shampoo. Then rinse off. A small trace of glycerine will adhere to the plastic and prevent moisture from sticking to the inside.

Dont know why i discovered this but i did one day at the lights with the visor down, which resulted in the visor fogging up.

i found out, when you breath in through your nose, the fog kinda goes away. now if you can breath in ALOT, and not breath out (for best results) that'd work,

or possibly result in you fainting lol.
