    You can get some really good antifog stuff. Or use dishwashing liquid on the visor

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    The best and by far the most expensive fix is a pinlock visor. But you get what you pay for.

    Next best is a fog city insert.

    Then some anti fog treatment - 'cat crap' to sunlight liquid will be recommended.

    Next - Open visor

    Finally - hold breath.

    My Cat Crap don't work too well.
    Neither is my balaclava...
    Neither is my Breath Guard...
    Your next best option is Fog City insert if you got a nice helmet...or whatever
    Pin lock is the most expensive one.

    Smile

    Using open face and sunnies is my solution. And when it rains I stop at the pub.

    Are we still talking about visors fogging up?

    If so:
    Haven't tried pinlock
    Fog city didn't stay stuck to the visor for more than 24 hours
    used a breath guard with reasonable success, also use a balaclava as well

    The other thing is to check your breathing, and your mental state. If nervous, you will breath heavier and faster, hence fog up the visor more. If calm, fogging issue will ease. As for warmth, if you are too warm, yes, you can fog up the visor, should only be an issue when stopped.

    If you're physically cold, chuck more gear on, you'll get tired much faster when cold. Core body comes first, then remember main loss of heat is head, hands and toes, so keep them windproof.

    use a spot of blue tac to stick a soft moldable earplug to the lower edge opening of the visor hole. This will create a 5 mm opening that will keep air circulating and visor fog free.

    I use a polyprop face/neck guard, don't use any 'anti-fog' product on the visor, other than keeping it clean and I don't have fogging issues whatsoever.
    Still have a pinlock in its wrapper, that I'll probably never use.
    It is what it is
