SuzukiSavage.com - In a Fog

Arizuno Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 227 Prescott, AZ Gender:	In a Fog 11/19/11 at 15:54:46 I always wear a full-faced helmet when riding. Unfortunately, I also need to wear glasses, which tend to fog up badly,even with the shield up, especially in cooler weather, until I get moving. I feeling that braille and safe riding are incompatible, I'm seeking workable solutions from my bespectacled forum mates. Please!

I do not have this problem, but I have known many riders who have. The problem is the moisture that comes out of your nose and mouth. There are lots of anti fog sprays out there (http://www.c-clearantifog.com/spraybot.php?gclid=CNONutv9w6wCFUwaQgodmHatrQ), but most of the people that I have ridden with have simply tied a bandana over their nose and mouth (like a bandit) before putting on their helmet. It seemed to work.

I have not tried it yet, but if you do, let me know how it works.

If I have to scrape the frost off the visor I have found taking the car a lot safer.

Posts: 825 Gender:	Re: In a Fog Reply #11 - 11/20/11 at 20:00:57 Note: a lot of fog treatment sprays and wipes will soften and discolor plastic. A few years back I discovered "Optic Guard" made by American Optic out of Joplin MO. It is a green gel that actually works.

Squirt some on the inside of the shield. Smear it around good. Wipe it clean. Careful though! Heard a few people say it scratched their shields up. Never happened to mine, but just a word of caution.

Finally went to a 3/4 helmet with a flip down shield, The draft at the bottom draws enough moisture away to prevent most problems.
