Helmet visor fogging

[Brew56]

I have a Simpson Bandit helmet. The visor has been fogging up too much for my liking.

Anyone out there have a good remedy that seems to work for this problem?

Hold Your Breath! :d:d

Fogging or Really Need Glasses????

1) Rain-X

2) Hold your breath unless driving next to T-Bone Smith, he can see anyways

3) Tom Kargus 10*W used a scuba mouth piece cut short to direct your breath downward. Worked pretty good.

Anti-fogging wipes from rain-x

I bought a box of these years ago. Still have about half the box. Works great.

Thanks Brad & other characters (BW & Steve) ha.

I'll try it Brad. I'm assuming you don't have to keep your visor cracked at all.

I have heard about the scuba piece. Someone said Palmquist uses one too.

As for holding my breath, I've been doing that for too long....at nearly 37, I'm unable to hold as much air as I used to.

Thanks,
Jerry

Search for FogCity visor inserts at your local bike shop... (if you can't find, email my father) they have a special model for the Bandit... I try never to race without one installed any more (they made models for all helmets)... should be in the rules for boat racing! haha. inexpensive safety equipment.

I can race with my visor closed tight, get hosed down and not fog up. Highly recommended.

They are like $25... can buy auto tint ones too.

When I was at VIP getting my vanagon inspected I saw rain-x antifog it was like $3 a bottle so I got one. thought it would be great for racing, but after looking at those shield inserts, in 100% getting one of those. I have to get a new shield anyway after braking mine when I flipped.

I drill 1/8 inch holes at the bottom of the shield in front of the nose. You might want to try it on a crappy shield first to see if it works on the Simpson.

Go FogCity, can't be beat. I put one on years ago and let my brother and dad try it, they borrowed my lid for ages until they finally decided to install their own...

I ride with them on the motorcycle too, great for early and let season riding...

Never ride or race without one again.

crack the visor. . .

My helmet, and I assume most helmets, have a lever under the left lower edge. Press lever, visor cracked a tad, fog be gone. Of course there are folks more than willing to take your money for a Magic Cure like Rain-X when the cure is simple -> crack the visor. Sure cure - an 1/8" thick piece of single-side sticky tape centered under the lower edge. That will keep the vent visor cracked when you get the ol' rooster tail smack down.

save your $$

Old hockey trick when our visors fogged up. Take a dab of shampoo and coat the inside of your visor. Wipe it off... no more fog

might work when your out front but on several occasions I got hosed down and first it spayed water in my eyes, then slammed the visor shut instant fog. had to think more about how I breathed then on the race... if I could close the visor and have no fog, it would be amazing. besides, how much do you spend on race equipemtn/safety equipment? what another $20 on something that just makes everything easy? I mean you'll spend more then that on gas alone at a single race.

**EDIT: guess I should read the whole post before responding, "an 1/8" thick piece of single-side sticky tape centered under the lower edge. That will keep the vent visor cracked when you get the ol' rooster tail smack down." I did that, but still get water sprayed in the helmet on my glasses, but im getting contacts so that wont be a problem I guess.

Im still getting one though!

I have a Simpson Bandit and a Voyager, plus wear glasses. I use rain-x (glasses too)every time I wear them and this seems to work for old Tubby. Heres one, I turned on the vent fan that I rarely use in the OPC and found a mouse had built a nest in the hose, it smelled so bad I had to run without the lid. Guess you can say I ran "crappy" that day. Tally-ho from Tubby

i bought a small spray bottle of antifogg gaurd from Scott at a local cycle shop. worked pretty well. i think i paid 5 bucks for it and still have 3/4 of it left.
