First time with fogging problem

[Fev1983]

Hi all,.this morning was first time I set off to work and had serious misting and fogging up of the visor.

The weather here this morning was very misty and cold with a very very fine drizzle in the air.

As soon as I set off I got the visor fogging up so opened it slightly but then as a glasses wearer my glasses then fogged up creating a big problem.

The visor was just covered in condensation and so were my glasses.

I have a pinlock fitted and helmet is a AGV k3sv,,,

Luckily the roads at 5am were quite and I crawled to work but this situation was far from ideal and don’t want to have it again..

I’m just getting back in to riding as my post in the newbie forum explains so any advice is welcome.

Thanks

Danny

did you have your helmet vents open or closed,

I had them open,,,never had it get condensation that bad ever

[dynax]

how long have you had the helmet, have you cleaned out the vents, bugs,debris, can get stuck without you knowing and restrict the airflow,

Brand new helmet,,and I wear an oxford cotton balaclava,

I’m wondering if it’s because the drizzle got my glasses damp and that caused the whole thing.

I’m hoping for same weather in morning and I will set off with visor shut down

Yeah, that'll do it, any moisture inside, will condense on any cold surface that is exposed,

Fogtech DX on your glasses, it works, I ride all year

Old thread, but posting for others who find it. Do you have a removable breath shield on the inside of the helmet? Looks like a moustache when you remove it.

I was fogging like mad on Mod 1 practice when my instructor told me to remove it. They work great for non-glasses wearing people, but direct breath straight into the backs of the lenses for us!

I also found that wearing a neck thingy would restrict air from flowing up from the chin area. So I make sure there's a gap down there now.

EDIT: I have since tried removing the neck skirt thing, and that's made things even better!
