Condensation in Helmet Windshield
Hi , does anyone have any tips in preventing the helmet windshield from fogging up inside ?
I notice this always occurs when I'm traveling at a lower speed even though the helmet vent is open. Is there anything I can apply to the inside of the shield to stop this from happening ? Cheers, Shane Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Many are arranged with a "stop" that holds the visor open about a 1/2 inch. Even if it doesn't have that notch, the hinges might be tightened snug enough to allow you to open it a bit and have it stay there. There are products (chemicals) that are supposed to stop the fogging but I haven't tried any.

Theres lots of anti fog sprays out .... couldnt tell you which one lasts more than one ride. Stuff i got worked one day, re apply, worked one day, re apply. Bleh.
But, if you are ever in the market for a new helmet, take a look at Scorpion helmets. The anti fog shields on those are the best. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Put a tiny bit of dish (drop or two) washing liquid on the inside of the shield. Spread evenly with your finger. Polish until clear with a clean dry soft cloth. Don't rub the soap off.Micro fiber cloths work good for this.
This is way cheaper and more effective than anything I have ever used. Most anti fog coatings break up the surface tension of the watter so it sheets instead of forms droplets so you can see through it. |
