Riding in this morning I had the first foggy visor of the year. I have tried the Rain-X stuff and it really does not work. I have noticed that when I buy a new shield, it stays fog free in pretty much any conditions until I clean it for the first time with warm water.
Any suggestions, now that it is getting colder out, on how to prevent the "Shit! I can't see the car in front of me!" from happening?
Thanks!

Thanks Nick. Looks like good stuff. The Scorp lid/visor I use seems to work pretty decent, but the last few mornings it has been degrading to the point where I was wondering if there was a good aftermarket application.
Thanks again.

Scott (eyewear manuf.) makes an anti-fog cloth that is intended for snow goggles. You have to keep you lenses/shield pretty scratch-free, which should be easy enough on the inside.
Anyway, check it out. It works pretty good. You can probably find them at any outdoors/ski/snowboard shop.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

Thanks Devaclis.. I heard the RainX stuff worked and was going to try it.. but not now... I will use the stuff for my snowboarding goggles I guess.. I bought this blue wax stuff from the bike show a couple years back and used it .. worked well, but I can't remember the damn name of it..

When scuba diving, you use Spit for a quick fix. Salt water gets to it, then starts to far after some time.
Other wise Soft scrub helped pretty good.

That stuff is called "Zook", and comes in a spray also.<snip>.. worked well, but I can't remember the damn name of it..

See, look, I know I'm homophobic, but not about gay guys. They don't bother me at all. It's straight guys who don't know their gay... they fuck my shit right up
you could try a light layer of dish washing liquid on the inside of the visor. works pretty well... or get a helmet with kick ass venting.

This is the best way to prevent fog build-up. I use it all year round. And it looks cool too!
RIP Gene. You are a good friend that will be missed. I'm Gene Bazyl Bitch!!
Gotta agree with Canuck and Rory. The Respro Foggy mask is great no matter what shield you put on your lid.

Plus it makes you look like a fuckin ninja!!

I've had some good results with my Nolan and it's anti-fog shield insert.
It clips on to the inside of the shield (where you see the little round plastic tabs at each side of the faceshield) It creats an air barrier between the front shield and itself. Additionally, when stopped (or going slow) I can lift the entire front section of the helment for increased comfort and visibility. My helmet also has a VPS (vision protection system) secondary shield that flips down over the front one. It is tinted and therefore I don't need to wear sunglasses. Only the upper portion of the shield is tinted, so when I look down at my gages or map it is a clear view. This is expecially helpful when I go through tunnels. I don't have that momentary "gee, it's kinda dark in here" problem. My guess, in years to come, is that more and more riders will be wearing these "multifunctional" helmets. To each his own.

Guess my posts means nothing!!!
