Visor fogging
Hello
I have been riding a little while but am still unsure about how to keep my visor from fogging up, especially in the wet rain. I came into welly not long ago when it was torrential and it felt pretty damn dangerous lol. Any help appreciated.
oh and hello everyone! im a student at Vic got a red scorpio to start on =)

Hello there, and welcome to KB...!
There are several treatments for visors, which will reduce fogging. Available at any bike shop.
The best I've tried is a compound called Cat Crap (no, I'm not kidding). Smear a small amount inside the visor, and polish it in. It may require a couple or more applications to be fully effective.
Also, if you can, try riding with your visor open just a whisker.

Yep Cat Crap's great.
Buy it at motorbike shops.
I have heard that toothpaste thinly spread also works, plus it adds a hint of minty freshness.

Hiya and Welcome to KB!
Cat crap is very good - I used to use white vinegar and a little cold water, on both the outside and inside and I never had any fog! (on my glasses however.....)..
But again riding with ya visor open one click also works while you are stationary!
Good luck and happy riding!!

Fog City insert inside visor. Works better on brand new visor.

Is there any other kind?
There' also a product by MCR Safety. Pre moistened towelettes, anti fog, anti static. Designed for safety and ordinary glasses, so safe for visors.

A tiny drop of dish washing liquid smeared on the inside of your visor and then buffed till clear is an economical option, too.
Double shot!!
Hi Mia. Some helmets fog a lot worse than others. My cheapo FFM fogs terribly compared to our other HJC helmets.
I just click the visor open when under 80k, and keep it clean and waxed. Sounds like cat crap is teh shit though.
