    The magical disappearing road

    so after spending 2 hours night riding on friday I need some serious suggestions on how to aleviate fog from the inside of the visor

    tried a breate guard .. no good
    tried anti fog crap .. vision went blurry
    tried a scarf over nose/mouth.. no good

    I am asthmatic, and therefore (stated by some theorists) I suffer from hyper ventilation (meaning I breathe heavy )

    any suggestion would be welcomed .. anything !!

    ended up riding with my visor slightly open, but at near freezing temperatures, this was not fun

    Get a visor insert from oxford or whoever, they stick to the inside of your visor creating a double glazing type arrangement. About 30 bucks from whereever and they work brilliantly, can huff and huff on to the visor with no fogging

    Ask Lou Girardin.

    Nolan Pinlock system, its the best one I have tried and under very cold conditions too.
    Ask Lou Girardin, he will put you right. Cheers John.

    On cold mornings I just wear a bandana in town. Otherwise it's the balaclava. I don't have any problems with fogging up. If you have to stop at lights etc then directional breathing works good.

    Or just try going faster

    I usually raise the visor a little and then moan about the cold and then put the visor down and get fogged up again and then make mental note about finding a solution which I forget by the time I get to town..

    Hopeless. I did see some of that antifog cream in the shop the other day. Do you not recommend it?

    Ive got an HJC and got a breath guard for $18 from motomail.

    I have to make sure that it seals around my nose properly (big) and then everything is fine. Occasionaly it will still fog up if I cough, but otherwise it works well for me.

    Spit should work too. Swimmers spit in their goggles and wipe it around, so it should work for a visor. I've personally never tried it though.

    I have a pinlock system to fit my Arai Chaser...absolutely brilliant. Survived the frosty (and mean FROSTY) mornings in Taupo test with flying colours....now if I can only stop my glasses fogging up.......

    Visor insert or pinlock system.

    Cat crap is useless, but I sacrificed ten bucks to find that out for you all.

    remember reading that cutting a potato in half and wiping that on the inside of the visor works... mind you, never tried it so don't know if they were taking the piss...
