Helmut visors

    Does anyone else find that their Helmut visor fogs up very easily. I find I basically have to ride with Visor open 90% of the time and when it wet and windy it is nearly impossible to see. Worst is when it is cold wet and it really stings your face with the visor open. I have an AGV helmut.

    one word for you... pinlock


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,547 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Pinlock is ok enough on very short trips (assuming you don't wear glasses!) but all that warm moist air has to go somewhere so you get condensation eventually. A Foggy mask directs the breathed out air out of the lid, the best combination of all is to use that AND a pinlock, you'll never have to worry about fog again.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    I have found the mask to be uncomfortable. Maybe its just me, but I like lots of fresh air and found that I dont get it while wearing a mask. Also I found that they get damp and uncomfortable on your face. Worth a try though.
    With the pinlock I have found no problems on long or short trips. I havent found any issues with condensation on day long trips, or even a spin into town. In summer or winter, day or night.
    I tried a few anti fog solutions, stuff u put on the visor, masks etc, the best I have had yet is the pinlock.

    Fogcity make a stick on version too, if you dont go for pinlock. Oxford make a huff mask which velcros into the helmet that you might try. Neoprene face masks make your face damp alright, ones with 'antifreeze' fabric are better. :)

    There are a couple of sprays that you can get to reduce the build up ( sorry can't remember any names). ALt, try wiping saliva over the inside of the visor with a tissue ( bit gross I know!), it will reduce thet fog up.

    Or just use the reliable washing up liquid method, wipe on some using some tissue leave for about a minute, wipe down to remove smears and off you go.
