: Helmet-best Way To Anti-fog?

Is there a best way to prevent "fog" from building up on the inside shield of the helmet. What about an anti-fog spray? Do any work better than others? Glasses also seem to "fog". Help with any suggestions. Thanks.

Yankee361, If you want to stop your eye glasses from fogging the only fool proff way that I have found is a NO-FOG face mask, maybe a little pain to put on and take off, but it works!!

I've heard that people with glasses like SkiDoo's modular helmet as well

I agree with mr670,with one exception motocross helmet and goggles will work best.I have glasses and the mod does nothing to prevent them from fogging up.the moisture from my breate comes right up behind the mask and fogs my glasses,I have tried everything to prevent this with my modular with no success.

I wear glasses and have the doo modular helmet, it's the way to go. If that's out of your price range a mask such as this will work, but is kind of a pain.

Dooman: if your glasses are fogging with the mod. there must be something not sealing on yours, mine has no breath inside the hemet it all exits outside. I always also make sure I use those absorbant pads otherwise the mask gets too mush water in it.

No, I just don't have that problem, nor do any of my friends with mod. helmets. maybe yours has some sort of defect or something. Or maybe your particular psysiology won't allow you to get a tight seal on the mask. :)

I give an un biased opinion and it is factual as are all my posts.it was the I'm with stupid sign that got me.ask anyone who has ridden with me and they will tell you I wear contacts now ,after spending 300 bucks for this miracle helmet,I would hate for another to do the same.

I did have one friend that had to cut his mask around the nose to get it to fit on his face, once he did that he had a good seal.

The only way I stopped massive fogging was to buy the "No Fog" mask that is pictured. The mask flat out works. I also use a no fog spray to help. Between the two I have no more problems. The spray itself will not work though. It just takes an extra 30 seconds to fog the glasses instead of 2 seconds. Buy the mask!

I wear glasses and i've tried using my motocross helmet and goggles, but they still fogged up. I even tried it with a anti-fogging coating, still would fog up. Bought a ski-doo modular helmet, never had a problem after that. One of the best investments I made.

I used to always use the no-fog mask until I got my mod. helmet. I worked really well, but it would get soaked and ice up and you have to take your helmet and glasses off to put it on or take it off. The mask on my mod. stays warm enough that it doesn't ice up, and I bring a few extra absorbant pads so I don't have to put the wet one back on after stops.

Electric seems to work for everything. ( just my opinion )

there is only one solution to your fogging problem and that is PRO-VUE goggles with motocross helmet. I have used them for 12 years with great SUCCESS! :D :D :D :D

I had to add this to all you 4 eyed sledders. My dad wears this helmet now because he had nothing but problems since I started sledding in 68. The very best solution and I have tried them all is buy a Skidoo modular and get throw away contacts. You will regret all the time in the past you did not have this setup. Fifty bucks gets you enough contacts for the whole season.

I did the same. Lazik Surgey! Expensive but well worth it.. The fog factor from snowmobiling was my number 1 reason for the surgery! I tried all the remidies, the only real thing that work was leaving the visor cracked open a bit just to keep the fog off... However, my face always took a beating from the wind burn.

Cheers,

use rain-x anti fog on my glasses and lenses when wearing moto helmet, when i where fullface with shield it seems to work good also. just remember to bring a small bottle along and re-apply every time you get the time.

After trying several different things, including the heated visors and different styles of helmets, I came to the "miracle" solution that has worked for me. I would now never even consider another solution!

I wear prescription glasses, and have always had problems with visablity. Contacts just never worked for me, and I found myself just going without glasses and settling for poor vision. Then, I ordered a pair of Pro-Vue prescription goggles (you send them your prescription), and went with a motorcross syle helmet (A HJC CLX4-SN Ryser). I use a No-Fog under the helmet, and chucked the breath guard that came with the helmet. Now, I have perfect vision, great visability, and they never fog! I cannot say how much better this solution is! I would recommend this to anyone who wear glasses, and recommend a motocross style solution to anyone who rides, since the visability to MUCH better than anything else I have tried.

You can contact Pro-Vue via pro-vue.com.

This might sound goofy but it works.

WARNING: Might scratch some surfaces!

Rub good old fashion plain white Colgate toothpaste on the lenses and they won’t fog up.
