fastbob Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Slumped here watching How It's Made on Quest and there was a piece on Ski Goggles which , to my surprise , can be bought fitted with a micro extractor fan . Could this be the ultimate solution to visor fogging ? Do any HELMETS exist with such a system ? Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I went halves on those ski goggles as a prezzie for my friend and they are amazing. She went from having a guaranteed horrible time having to stop every few moments because she was so fogged up to not fogging up at all. They’ve been around for years and I’m surprised it’s not been taken up in motorcycle helmets. There is this-https://motorbikewriter.com/feher-air-conditioned-helmet/ Quote
oldgrump Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Hi [mention]fastbob[/mention] can't think of one for fogging up, but how about this for the rain!!!!!!!! Quote
fastbob Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 Hi @fastbob can't think of one for fogging up, but how about this for the rain!!!!!!!! SAM_2312.JPG And only £1.97 ! Quote
fastbob Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 So riding in winter in an MX helmet and ski goggles ( with fan ) sounds like an attractive solution to fogging . Quote
Guest Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 What about opening the visor a crack to create an airflow? Quote
Guest Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Hi @fastbob can't think of one for fogging up, but how about this for the rain!!!!!!!! SAM_2312.JPGGot one...it's in the bottom draw with the Wal Phillip's Fuel Injector. And it will stay there.But there again, what do you expect for 39/6? Quote

Guest Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Blonde, Auburn, Light Brown - what's not to like? As far as I can see, the only disadvantage is that the peak might prevent you from fitting your turbo-visor. But a small price to pay for being the prettiest pillion in town ('cos as we all know, gurls would never be found up front..... would they?). Well, Shoei and AGV, you' ve missed a trick there. That's why Kangol are now the world's #1 manufacturer of safety hel........But just imagine it in the rain...... 60 miles back to the Smoke up the A23 fresh from the battlefields of Brighton in the pissing rain with a cold, wet, dead rat lying against your neck........

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 You only have bad helmet hair once you take the helmet off. With the helmet on it could all be perfectly quaffed, who would know?! Quote
