    Always one - why cant someone ask a simple question without being bolloxed for it... If you dont like it, find another thread to read.

    As for the glasses issue, I dont wear them but my brother does and he swears by the pin lock system... not sure how that stops his glasses from fogging but he says he has no probs

    It's not a simple question. There are helmets and helmets, glasses and glasses, heads and heads, riders and riders, clothing and clothing, weather and weather. All of which conspire together to contribute to the phenomenon called "glasses fogging".

    My glasses fog something chronic in a Shoei when the dew point and speed are low and excessively chronic when I'm wearing a neck tube or a high collar. The problem isn't as severe in my HJC. I think that nose guards are a waste of space as they compete with my glasses for the available space on the bridge of my nose. Others swear by them, but most of those advocates don't actually wear glasses either -- rather they feel compelled to offer what they think are helpful suggestions in a thread that doesn't relate to them.

    Pinlock visors stop visor fogging, not glasses fogging. Again don't bother trying to explain the difference to people who don't wear glasses but again feel compelled to offer what they think are helpful suggestions in a thread that doesn't relate to them.

    Theres another similer thread, follow the link, you may find some more usful info there:

    What most people don't seem to relise is that glaases fog very easily and usually way befor the visor fogs, when its bad and both fog then you can't see anything at all!!! and thats a very hairy situation to be in coz it seems to happen in a flash, one minute your copeing the next your blind!!

    I wear glasses, and have an HJC helmet, not sure of the model but it has vents either side of the chin and a bigger one right in the middle of the chin. I find that if its wet out my glasses will fog if the visor is fully closed no matter what speed I do, i just leave it open a smidge and it keeps clear, its a bit colder but on really bad days a thin ballaclaver is all good. On nice clear days I can ride with the visor closed no problem, just have to remember to open it when I start to slow for lights etc. I found that trial and error over a day or two was the best way to work out what worked and what didn't with my particular helmet.

    I have only had this one so don't know if any are better than this or not, but would suggest that it would be fine. If you really wanna know the make let me know and I will have a look.

    Ooooh, Hitcher... was that a dig at me It may be that I dont wear glasses but I do understand the pinlock system - which is why I said "not sure how that stops his glasses from fogging" but he states it has made a difference so I am only going by what Im told by someone who uses it - besides all suggestions and ideas contribute to a thread being a thread... with the exception of those who bag the thread just cos it doesnt suit them
