Hi all. My new scooter helmet visor steams/fogs up alot! Help!?
This only happens whilst im not moving eg, at traffic lights or pulled over to look at a map. Its from my breathing. But its fine when im moving along (pressumly because of more ventilation) is there anything I can do?ThanksI have thought about wearing a balaclava to help muffle my breath. Will it help?
Washing up liquid should do it. Wipe the inside with a bit & that ought to stop it. We used to have a calor gas heater which made the windows steam up in cold weather but wiping the windows with washing up liquid stopped the water vapour forming.
My dad had the same problem, drove him nuts while he was travelling australia but being a bit of an idea's man.. he had these individual wipes for his car windscreen called anit-fog wipes wich worked, he tried it on his helmet visor and it worked for him, with repeat applications now and then. Maybe it might work for you too.
If you go to your local motorcycle accessory store you'll find many products that will solve this problem. My personal favourite is Bob Heath visor spray (about £3 and will last a couple of years) which is a very small aerosol spray that contains a mousse like substance.A tiny ball of it, gently rubbed on the inside of your visor will keep condensation & mist away for a few days.You may find that lifting your visor approx 4-5 mm will also help if you're riding in town. At higher speeds there is more ventilation so it won't be as much of a problem.One sure way of ending visor misting is to buy a non-mist insert. The expensive ones are about £25 but I use a "Progrip" which does the same job for about £12.If you buy one of these you won't have a problem at all.
There are a number of solutions, I have tried all of these.1, raise the visor when stopped - fiddly and awkward2, ride with the visor up - not sensibe, you need some eye protection.3, use a spray solution on the inside of the visor - there are many anti mist sprays on the market4, Us a 'fog city' plastic sheet on the inside of the visor - works a treat5, fit a pin or other device to prop the visor partially open6, Use a breath deflector - I have never found this to work.
