Re: Steaming up
Not really especially if you wear glasses. One or other or both will steam up. Go back to old tech and crack visor open, or stop breathing. :laugh:ZX Raziel wrote:I steam up all the time , when it gets cold , really hate it , are those antimist sprays any good ?
Re: Steaming up
I ride with the visor open all the time , i think i need to try and redirect the breath from the visor , i have seen some mask type of things at the NEC , i need to look in to it .

PINLOCK :- Soppy name for an unecessary complication in one of a motorcyclists vital senses, that of VISION.
Keep it simple there's enough workload just riding a bike without the added agravasion of maintaining the integrity of double glazing on a curved flexible surface while on the move.
I only use a plain visor which I open a tad if conditions show any signs of misting (thumbs)

Lightness is everything.
Lightness with Grunt is a Scratcher!

Re: Steaming up
Pinlock on my tourx was troublesome but is OK now. I think the fog city I had on my road helmet was better. Not 100% either as I can remember having to remove it a few times, clean and re-stick but in general pretty good.
Careful with canto fog spray on glasses as one I tried removed / damaged the anti scratch coating. There was a tread on here a while back where someone had found one where the manufacturer guaranteed it would be OK on glasses but it wasn't cheap if I recall. It was the bob heath one that screwed with my glasses - good on visors though.

Re: Steaming up
Its all good while you are moving but the moment i stop ( lights etc ) suddenly i cannot see anything , not very safe fidling with the lid all the time .
