Faceshield anti-fog

After deciding to buy Trip's full helmet, I quickly discovered a problem...fogging. Cool or cold morning and you can't see crap!! Those of you with full lids, what is the best anti-fog out there?

Faceshield anti-fog

I use this cleaner spray below on the inside and outside of my face shield. Seems to work pretty well for fogging up and also sheds rain. If it is really cold, say 35 or below, then I often have to open the face shield a crack at slow speeds so it stays clear at the bottom. Below freezing is a challenge at any speed. I usually find a slight angle I can tilt my head that lets just enough airflow in to keep most of the face shield clear.

Does it have vents? It might help to keep them open.

Faceshield anti-fog

I ran into the same problem...so I just decided to stick w/ my half lid and protective glasses. It's a little colder on the 30+ degree days...but at least I can see and don't feel like I'm always having to fidget with the shield to see.

SWB,
On any of my full face helmets, I have to keep the shield open slightly to keep from fogging.

And, as mentioned, keep your vents open.

It does and I do keep them open. But it still fogs somewhat.

That's not fog SWB. It's mold coming from your mouth. Brush you teeth more often and it should go away!

Thanks guys. I started lifting the shield one click when I rode slow and it works well. Just have to keep looking for a really good anti-fog.
