Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / October 2005Visor fogging
What's the secret to preventing a helmet's visor from fogging when it is in the full down position? (especially in cold temps) I have my helmets vents fully open, but it still does it. ----------------------------------------------------- http://www.thanever.com > What's the secret to preventing a helmet's visor from fogging when it > is in the full down position?

Other tricks I have learned over the years are: Clean your visor, then get some fairy liquid (washing up liquid) on some kitchen towel and rub it into the visor on the inside. Next use some clean kitchen towel and wipe it until there are no smears, your visor will not fog. Downside is that it's a very temporary trick and you'll have to do it at least every day. also if you rubit off too hard you'll have to start again. Another tip I got given was to slice a small potato in half and rub it on the inside of your visor. Again the visor will not fog but it won't smell too clever either :) > I have my helmets vents fully open, but it still does it. Yep. I like some of the Fog-Off and similar stuff. I know they sell it at ski shops - some motorcycle shops will sell it also. - Kurt > What's the secret to preventing a helmet's visor from fogging when it > is in the full down position?

I use a spray that I also use for my paintball mask. Works great and lasts between visor cleanings. >>What's the secret to preventing a helmet's visor from fogging when it >>is in the full down position?

Leave it just a very small amount open...no fog. -- Stephan 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6 <--- Stolen >>What's the secret to preventing a helmet's visor from fogging when it >>is in the full down position?

That's what I do now, but I'm hoping to have the convenience of being able to just push the visor down from the open position and not have to fidget with it. ----------------------------------------------------- http://www.thanever.com >>>What's the secret to preventing a helmet's visor from fogging when it >>>is in the full down position?

Really nice thing about my helmet there, the visor doesnt move smoothly up and down, it moves in steps, so you can click it into place right before it closes and have it be fairly secure without worrying about it moving further up or down. No need to fidget with it then either =) -- Stephan 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6 <--- Stolen >>>>What's the secret to preventing a helmet's visor from fogging when it >>>>is in the full down position?

No need to fidget with it >then either =) Mine has clicks too, but it the last "click" is too big so I fidget with it so it stops half way. :\ maybe I'll just get a thin piece of felt to stick on the edge. ----------------------------------------------------- http://www.thanever.com >>>>One thing that always works for me is to not fully close the visor. >>>>Leave it just a very small amount open...no fog.

I'm staggered at the advice you have had hear - from potato peel to washing-up liquid That was all things I did back in 1979 when you had no choice. For gods sake just get a fogcity insert or a pinlock (fiddly if posts not already fitted) and your problems are over These 21 century products actually work I have about 7 visors (different ages and colours etc) all fitted with fogcity |
