how can I keep a helmets face shield from fogging?

Answer 1

there is a spray u could get at auto zone.

Answer 2

I'm currently using a Shoei with the "pinlock" anti fog insert. Its performs better than anything I've used before (including fog citys, respro masks, anti fog sprays etc.)

Many manufacturers are now supplying pinlock visors as standard with new helmets & they can be retrofitted to many others.

Big advantage over the fog city is that the pinlock can be removed & refitted easily where the fog city has to remain glued in place (if you make a mess of installing a fog city you might as well throw it away becuase it will never work properly.

I'm commuting about 70 miles a day & ride a bike at work in all weathers so I think I've given it a full test & I like it.

Heres a link to a site selling the retro fit kit;

Answer 3

You have to watch out using Rain-X. The bottle says it's not safe for some plastics.

There is a product that goes by the name Fog City Fog Thing.
They are laminate sheets which you apply to the inside of the shield and work very well. Although you could experiance some distortion in your view if not properly applied.

Answer 4

Look for a Foggy face mask by Respro online. They run about $20-25 and are the best thing to keep your vision clear. It's a thin neoprene facemask that velcros to the inside of your helmet liner and keeps your breath from ever reaching the inside of your shield. it doesn't need to fit tightly to work, and has the added benefit in rainy weather of keeping spray out of the inside of your helmet as well (nice if you wear glasses!)

I got mine at Helmet Harbor, but you can also get it at Kneedraggers.com and a couple other places. I suggested it to my neighbor and he loves it, and I even leave it in during summer heat as it keeps dust and other crap out of my eyes.

Answer 5

Open the bottom just a little, or buy a "breath guard", which is a piece that snaps inside of your helmet goes under your eyes, and over your nose and mouth, keeping you exhaling breath out of the windscreen. You should be able to get one from whomever sells the brand of helmet you own.

Answer 6

Rub a bar of soap all over the inside of your shield, then use a soft cloth to polish it off. You can spend your money on anti-fog sprays at the bike shops but this works just as well.

Answer 7

Rain-X works best, if not take the juice of one lemon, delute in a gallon of water and then just let your faceshield soak in it for about 5 min. Dry is throughly with a clean cloth and reattach to your helmet.

Answer 8

Beleive it or not shaving cream does wonders for this. Use the foan kind instead of the gel and spread it on wait a minute or so then wipe clean, I didnt believe till I tried it either so stop laughing, hehe.
