Anti fog

I've heard that the best way to have a fog-proof visor is to get the pin lock set up. It can be expensive depending on brand of helmet though.
 
Okay..You won't mistake the name and rub it on your lips cuz you think it's lip balm...

This stuff work great for me!
Thanks for reminding me, I have to get more. REI has it. Probably any good sporting goods store carries it.

I'm trying something I found on the interwebs that has worked so far on a 52° night. I'll see how well it works when it's 34° in the morning.

DUDE, what does it smell like?:BLAA:
 
I bought a bottle of rain-x and fog-x from autozone for like 5$ a pop. Rain-x on the outside, Fog-X on the inside - seems to work like a charm.

That and I bought gloves that have little squeegee's on each fingertip so I can squeegee any water off the visor.

That's how I roll.

I, like a couple of others have mentioned, have moved on from Rainex, Cat Crap, etc, and gone to the wonders of a pinlock visor system....got this on my Shoei, and it's pretty much foolproof in all actualities..

:thumbup:
 
I use stuff called Clarify which I found on WebBikeWorld.com. It works great. The only issue I had this weekend was I remembered to put it on my visor, but forgot to put it on my sunglasses DOH!!
 
Absolutely Rain-x not to be used on plastics. This is due to the chemical used it hardens the plastic to cause a brittleness when exposed to UV light. Not something you what to be happening to your helmet. That said the guys I rode with in the UK had all the tricks but still used both rain-s and fog-x. Shark make a helmet with a small lever that is meant to be a anti-fog thingy so far I haven't forked out for it

+1 for Pinlock. I have it on my shoei qwest after the stock shield was a fog monster below 60 degrees. Now I just have my glasses fogging up on me...

Interesting fact about some plastics is there are many types with varied sensitivities to chemicals.

I was with a coworker in the graphics department of a trade show company I worked for and our graphics guy had a 2 inch cylindrical piece of acrylic/lexan/plexiglass, what ever it was. It was clear and there was a 1/2" blind hole about 1/2 inch deep in the end of it. He could see there was oil in the hole and he wiped it out with a rag. There were still traces of oil in the hole so I think he squirted alcohol in the hole and wiped it then lacquer thinner. There was a pop and we could feel little shards of plastic bits hit us. The plastic/acrylic exploded at the end that was exposed to the chemicals.
Whatever happened there was enough force to cause instant disruption of the molecules and caused the plastic to fracture and propel away at a high velocity. :eek:

We were lucky because we didn't have protective eyeware on at the time. :rolleyes:

Even if it's a slow process some chemicals may change plastics/acrylic properties over long term or with the addition of other elements and conditions. :D
 
Has anybody ever tried good old fashioned spit just like divers use in their face mask....lol
