What does it mean?
People use "Rain Helmet" for a wet season. What is a difference with "regular"?

As you know - during the rain a visor getting fog up immediately.

Is there a kind of helmet that doesn't have effect of "fogging up".
I don't know if it's special design of helmet or if the visor has a special treatment.

my helmet has various air inlets to allow circulation inside the helmet, I never had trouble with the shield fogging when riding. if I had to stop I would just pop the visor up one notch. do you ride a lot, or ever ride in the rain?

It depends on how heavy the rain is, I have used various products with limited success. The best thing I have used in the rain is an old pair of frank thomas gloves that had a smaller wiper blade on each thumb.

HJC helmets come with a fog free visor, it lasts about three months. Pretty good though.

The other thing that works for the outside of the shield is just get your head a little closer to the bikes wind shield and the air swirling there will just blow it off.:thumbup:

I'm having a problem with fog inside a helmet.
