Brrr! It's cold this morning!
The last couple of mornings on my way to work over the Haywards Hill, I've found my mirrors suddenly fog up as I go through the really frosty areas. Combine that with the sunstrike I get as I'm going east and I feel like I've suddenly gone blind.Anyone have any good ideas of what I can put on the mirrors so I can at least see what's behind me?
And does anyone know if I can get a tinted visor for a Nolan 100E?
Thanks!
gee wizzz
thre are antifog products you can buy that seem to work well

Spit. Saliva works brilliantly to stop fogging.
The following link will give you all the visor options for the N100E

The V8 Supercar teams use those little bottles of shampoo from their motels to stop the screens fogging up. They smear it on in a very thin layer and that seems to do the job for them. I personally haven't tried it on my bike mirrors cause I've never had the need.

Toothpaste works well too,those RainX anti fog wipes/solution are crap. and can melt plastic!

Rubbing the cut surface of a potato onto the inside of visors is supposed to stop visors fogging (never tried it), might work with mirrors.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

It is condensation from your breath. You have to stop breathing when you ride. Easy

Just ordered the smoked anti fog insert for my N100E from Motorad. $35. Just the thing for riding into a winter sun on a chilly morning.

Thanks guys for all your suggestions. I think I'll try the 'spit' technique on the way home tonight, and then look into some of the other suggestions over the weekend.
It's such a beautiful day out there now, perfect for riding.Just wish I was heading home (the long way) now, rather than tonight when it's going to be all cold and dark and frosty again.

Yeah it is nice, but if I took the arvo off I’d feel compelled to go work in the garage (several bike projects need attn).
Can’t say I’ve ever had the bike mirrors fog up, at least not that I remember or didn’t stay clean with a wipe of the finger. If you do use soap or polish it needs to be polished off.
Jim I’d be interested how you get on with the visor insert. I tried one once but it bugged the crap out of me in short order.
Since getting contacts yonks ago I hate going back to wearing glasses in a helmet. They fog easy & smaller frames of today make it hard to focus when your helmet moves them a bit up or whatever.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I have the clear one in there at the moment and it is practically invisible, and does stop the visor from fogging. Edit: forgot to mention - Nolan N100E helmets are designed to use Nolan's own insert which is just brilliant.Originally Posted by F5 Dave

"Handy Andy" is the stuff. Try it on mirrors in the bathroom. Wipe it on then off but leave a little bit. I think it's something called a surfactant which has the desireable effect.

I got a Pro Grip insert in time for the Cold Kiwi last year and it was brilliant.Has a very light tint that darkens slightly in bright sunlight, so not to bad at night. two hours of constant rain and not a vestige of fogging up.
