Visor Fogging, how to prevent it ?

[triangleforge]

The one issue I've had with the Respro Foggy is that it tends to direct a little bit of breath up onto my glasses (I usually wear sunglasses under a clear visor), causing THOSE to fog up. Lots of futzing with it to no avail...

Helmet is a Shoei TZ-R

I wear glasses so when it fogs up, I get twice the fogginess.  At the Motorcycle show last year, I picked up some anti fog paste stuff.  Just smear it over the visor and wipe it clean.  Seems to work alright over last winter.  I think it's almost time to bust that out of the closet again.

Yep...no glasses/sunglasses with a Foggy insert.

 +1 respro foggy.
 It worked as promised with my arai rx-7. The only drawback I noticed for me was that the mask is tight against your nose and when breathing heavy, it seemed restricting air at times to me. Also, I bought the Carbon fibre design foggy because it looked kinda cool, which is gray silkscreen pattern on top of black to mimic CF, this shiny gray silk screen reflected back into my visor on sunny days.

Breath out your mouth and project it downward toward your chin.  Sounds stupid but it helps.

I was riding Sunday and the temperature dropped to 62 degrees .

If I opened the Visor partly it would clear but it let in too much cold air.

I want to ride in cooler weather but I must find a solution to this fogging problem.

Anyone have the answer to this problem ?

62 degrees?  Too much cold air?  Is that a typo?

I spent a winter in Great Falls, MT and rode as long as the temp was at least 32 degrees, at which point I had a fogging problem.  That's cold.

When I was a deep sea diver we would put a drop of Joy soap in some water and wipe the solution on the inside of the dive helmet.  Worked like a charm.  Never tried it with a moto helmet though.

+1 PinLock

My Schuberth was upgraded with a visor from the S1 which has this as standard.

Low 30s and I can breathe directly on it with ZERO fog  On the small parts ordinary visor, outside the edges of the PinLock, there will be drops of moisture - on the PinLock itself, nothing.

+1 for CatCrap as cheap/easy fix. 
36 deg. F on the commute this morning here in MT.  Works great, I use it all the time.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

Now to find what it is I want to use.

I read the webbikeworld article and it mentioned a "kit" that included the pins.  I have Shark helmets and there are no visors available that have the pins in them.

Does anyone know if this kit is actually available?  I can't seem to find it, maybe I'll have to pull the pins out of an older HJC visor and find a way to install them into the Shark visor.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

some tooth paste will rip that anti scratch coating right off.

My diving mask has an anti scratch coating too.
I have never had a fogging Issue with my AGV but my Arai used to fog up all the time, I used Toms natural toothpaste for kids. Never fogged again and the visor lasted as long as the helmet did.

Get a Pinlock visor for your Arai. 

I'll 2nd this recommendation. I tried all sorts of ways to keep my Shoei from fogging up; pinlock was the absolute best solution in the end

Shampoo will work wonders. Used to use it on my clear hockey mask. Works down to 10 degrees

+1 on pinlock but:
- don't touch the fog insert with your hands, after 3 years riding & switching it from clear to tinted visor now & then it has lost its anti-fogging capability
- the edge of the insert can be anoying as its just within your fov. Shoei's next year models have larger inserts though.

Another great product is Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator.

Everyone knows that water vapor cannot exist in its presence!
