    Surely the chunks are suspended in a sort of vinegar-yoghurt plasma? Or
    were those dry heaves?

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Platypus
    I rarely eat yoghurt. More sort of a Hobgoblin-chicken-tikka
    Bose-Einstein condensate[1] which (it turns out) is a surprisingly good
    demister.

    [1] Well, it was *quite* cold out tonight.

    FFS Platy, do you have any idea how painful it is spraying Bob Heath
    Antifog onto the contacts you're wearing?

    Oh *arse* At that price it would have been a done deal. I saw a Uvex
    stand, but no heelmets.
    Cheers for that, but I want to try one on first

    heh. Well mine does, regularly. One of the reasons I want a Uvex. I
    expect it to mist up, but I can put a foggy mask on it as well. Shame,
    cos I like the Lazer.

    How many times?

    Uvex double-glazed visors do not mist. Fact.

    You can hold the helmet over the steam from a kettle and the visor
    will not mist. I'm well up there in the ranks of sweaty bastards and
    I've not seen mist - the only time it came close was when stopped at
    traffic lights mid-thrash, with humidity so high that steam was rising
    off the road. In extreme circumstances you might get some small
    droplets (not mist) appearing around the very edges of the visor, but
    it will not mist.

    I had a bet with BB on this very topic. I would be delighted to have the
    same with you :)
    I can do the same thing with my Lazer. Doesn't mean that it won't mist up
    on a cold morining with no kettle in sight

    I've sold hundreds of the things as a wholesaler, and I have many
    friends who own them. Not once has anyone complained about misting.

    I don't have one, and I've never sold them to the retail public, only
    wholesale.

    I'm not currently working in the bike trade.

    I've seen a UKRM'er mist one up whilst being particularly idiotic, I'm
    not naming names though.

    The fact you have no commute is also good.

    Lazers are also double glazed. Mine doesn't mist - perhaps Catman has
    the breath of a cat?

    That would account for the corrosion on the inside :)
