Misty visor

How do you stop your visor misting up in
the cold weather. I was thinking of getting
a balaclaver to cover my mouth and nose.

A thin layer of polished soap.

Good start.

 

A smear of washing up liquid on the inside, polished off, works for me.
Swarfega does too. There are various proprietary anti-misting sprays and
suchlike, but w/up liquid and/or Swarfega are as good - or as useless -
as any of them.

A balaclava or something to cover your hooter isn't a bad idea, no.

I have heard suggestions that Fairly liquid and such contain small salt
granules which can scratch the visor. I have never found this an issue
though although I do "her" vigorously onto the visor on the rare
occasions I bother to bother.

 

Cheers guys Ill try both baraclava and soap and see
what happens. It was great today, went out on the
spur of the moment and had a great time. The weather
was fine and sunny even if very cold. Very cold in fact
but it beats working for a living any day.

Chop a Potato in half.Rub it on the visor inside
Washing up liquid works as per other posts.
If you want to know why Potato works I can tell you but then I'd have
to kill you :O

Thus spake taz unto the assembled multitudes:

A more expensive solution is to buy one of those 'Fog City' inner visors
which stick (permanently) to the inside of the helmet visor and work like
double-glazing. I use them and find them a big improvement, though they still
struggle a bit in the worst conditions. Cost about a tenner. Best fitted
next time you buy a new visor.

Wot 'e says.

I fitted a fog city to my HJC AC-10 (first helmet / first bike etc) at the
suggestion of the supplier (Hein Gericke, Slough).

At the time I thought fifteen quid for a bit of sticky plastic was a bit
steep, but I can now say that I wouldn't consider not having one fitted,
they rock a fat one.

Sound Distribution (used to?) sell a thing called Foggy mask which
Velcros inside the chin area of your helmet. I have one that lives in
mine permanently and it works reasonably well, and if you're not
blessed with extravagant facial hair it might ventilate even better.
I used to use the neat Fairy Liquid trick on my goggles, many years
ago, and it worked up to a point.

 

Cheers guys,
