foggy mask

Bought a foggy mask a couple of weeks ago and am having a little
trouble with it.
It is fitted to an AGV helmet and to the instructions.
When putting it on it rides up to past my eyes, when pulled down to a
comfortable position it works a treat. Problem is, when travelling at
120+ it sucks in, and stops me breathing properly.
Anyone else had this problem and overcome it? (don't say ride slower).

 

They all do that sir.


Try breathing through your ears

 

I've not overcome it, but I do find that oxygen starvation can be
pleasurable.

 

Just as long as it's not done inxs

 

It's mystifying

 

Unless the pressure equalizes by opening the visor (which isn't
tremendously advisable at that speed, of course) the bernoulli (sp?)
effect will cause the air to be sucked out as it passes over the opening
at the bottom.
Solution? Don't use the foggy mask if you intend to ride at that speed.

Ride Less fast?

 

hold your breath

My experience was that they were adequate but not comfortable on long
journeys. FogCity is my favourite so far.

 

If it rides up past your eyes then it aint fitted to the instructions.
Rip it out and start again.

If you get the fit right it'll be the best anti fog device you ever
had. If you can't get the fit right then chuck it away, it'll be
useless.

 

My problem with the fog city is the starburst effect you get at night.

The foggy mask is ok providing you persevere with fitting it
correctly. It usually takes several rides/refits to get it right, but
once done I leave it in until it becomes a health hazard.

 

Well I've done over the last year (guess) 10,000 miles plus in the dark
and it's not bothered me in the slightest.

I played with these for maybe three years, yes they work but I found
them uncomfortable (or at least I knew they were there and it was
irritating). I don't deny that they work, but my choice is the fog
city.

I'm surprised Lozzo's not cropped up to tell us that there's a certain
helmet with double glazed visors...

 

Snorkel tube?
Foggy mask off, and anti mist visor on. Fuggit £12 wasted.

 

Thanks for that, I think I will try another posters suggestion to vary
the position first. Then chuck it if I cannot get it right. Fogging
only happens when I go slow so the solutions obvious.

 

I'll try that sir.
I had thought it was something to do with my big nose, but trying to
stick my chin down to make an airspace is aggravating.
The mask is Velcro in places, so why have that sticky pad that
supposedly sticks to the chin piece.

'ding' perhaps that sticky pad is only used on chin guards with no
material on? ****, I just so know I have done it wrong.

 

The starburst effect is either a scratched visor or insert probly. I used
the reactolite version and found no problems, wet or dry. Be more careful
cleaning them!

has anyone who wares glasses tried these?

Yes. It's fine.

BTW you really want to snip sigs, and possibly check the FAQ

(do you know when you really shouldn't do something but you really cant help
yourself?)
