Helmet no-fogging

Postby javaman » Wed Nov 24, 2004 9:58 pm

I can't believe how quick my breathing creates fog in the visor. Saw a guy the other day with helmet that has something covering his nose, so that it creates a tunnel for the breath-exit, unlike my $120 helmet.

Question is: does the thing come with the helmet or can I buy a piece and stick it into my helmet?

Yep, fogcity or equivalent is the way to go.

Every helmet I have ever had has suffered from fogging to some extent. Even my old HJC with the little nose cover thing.

But, (and here I go again), the wierd arsed ventilation system on the BMW helmet works superbly. I have never had it fog and I don't know why other manufacturers don't have the same setup!

put some neat washing up liquid on a paper towel and wipe the inside of your visor with it......if you wanna know about visors fogging up ask a pommie :wink:

In winter I used a RJays Fog mask. Worked superbly.
