    Rub your spit on it (I think it works) thats what we do with scuba masks.

    Or just open the visor a bit.

    rub it on with your finger then use a soft chamois to rub it clear, should last about a week or so, then re-apply. Let us know who you get on.

    Cat crap is good for condensation build up in cold weather but not effective for breath fogged visors. Fog city inserts are apparently the shit... let you know on that one once I get some spending money... What is a pin lock visor? I have to keep the visor cracked open a little but that is not good when it's cold and the noise level dramatically increases....

    Pin lock is an insert on the interior of the visor with a silicone/rubber seal to create a double glazing effect. The insert is held in place by two pins at opposite ends of the visor. It works very well.

    I have a fog city insert in one of my visors, it's good, but scratches really easily and is then really nasty when the sun hits it and stuff, but never fogs up. I haven't had any problems with the cat crap, but you do have to re-apply every week or so.

    Yep. I recently bought a Shoei Multitec which came with a Pinlock insert and it's great. When I first got it I put the helmet on inside and closed everything up then huffed and puffed to see what would happen - the visor fogged up real bad everywhere except the area covered by the pinlock which remained perfectly clear. Since then I've been on a couple of long rides in crap conditions - 1 day time, coolish & rain plus 1 night time, coolish and rain. Brilliant both times.

    I have been using the crap for months and months and have never had a moment of fogging.

    It really is the cats shit.

    I had the visor insert for a few years, hated how it often caused reflections (due to the second layer) Once I removed the insert I was amazed how clear the view was again.
