i really want this... i'm using a shoei rf-1000 and that clarity defog it stuff... it works well, but i have to reapply it all the time.

i've seen other brands have permanent anti fog in their shields, but i've also heard that they sort of suck... and i dont like how pinlocks work that well.

Sounds cool. Hopefully we see treated shields sometime soon.  [thumbsup] Until then...my Foggy insert works great.  :)

I have a rf-1000 and use a fog city adhesive insert.  It works very well.  I also used the nose guard thing that comes with the helmet, and I have found it makes a big difference.

i use the breath guard, and the defog it stuff actually does work, but i have to reapply every 3-4 weeks i would say... depends on the weather and the riding...

and i get issues using those stickers like pinlock/fog city :(  i notice the halo'ing a lot... might be because i got lasik done.

IME that happens when the inner visor is incorrectly installed and touches the outer visor.

My scorpion helmet seems to have this already.  I it has never fogged and when you do the breath test on the edge (with the locking system) the visibile part doesn't fog and the plastic that you don't see fogs.
