anti fog ?

[fastbob]

I've just bought a Shark Vision R helmet and I took it out on Sunday for a test ride . As a helmet I can't fault it . Its comfortable, quiet , looks good and seems well made . The main feature is the extra wide and tall visor that gives great over shoulder views when overtaking. The problem is that the so called anti mist visor doesn't mist but it does go more and more blurry until I can't see anything in detail at all . When I open it to clear the blurriness it takes ages to clear. Also when it started to rain with a very fine drizzle it seemed to really stick to the visor with the droplets not merging together or falling away. Anyone got any suggestions? I'm thinking of using a rain repellent for the outside but I don't want to end up with a crazed or delaminated visor . As for the inside I guess I'm stuck with it . I should add that at speed its fine , it's just bad when stationary or moving slow. I'm interested to know what people think.

For rain repellent I use NIKWAX Visor Proof.

I use rained on my helmet inside and outside before I go out. I do this every time and never fog up.

Thanks RainX . Ok for car windscreens but is it ok on visors with anti fog / anti scratch coatings ? Maybe it was the wrong kind of rain on Sunday. I'm wondering if the design of the helmet is putting the droplets within my focal length so that I am looking at them rather than through them . I do wear quite strong reading glasses.

Original Rain X is NOT suitable for visors, only for use on glass.

Extract from rain X

Avoid using Rain‑X® Rain Repellent on any plastic surfaces, including motorcycle windshields, ATVs and solar panels. We recommend Rain-X Plastic Water Repellent for motorcycle and boat windshields.

However Rain X do do a spray suitable for visors called Rain X Plastic

When you say "doing it at work" does that mean using it or selling it?

I have been using rain x for 5 years now and never had any problems. The rain.x I use comes in a yellow bottle and says nowt about visors, it just tells me not to drink it. Lol[emoji12]

I have some rain x in a yellow bottler that I use on the car. It says on the back, not suitable for plastics and painted surfaces.

I just found a spray bottle of "anti mist" for a car windshield. Says it prevents condensation. Will this play safe on a helmet visor and prevent breath-fog?

See if the destruction say it is safe for use on plastic. Some car stuff isn't
