How do you winter riders keep your Visor/goggles from freezing up I'm as old school /stupid as it gets 30 years on a Shovelhead and a beaney helmet -i just froze but i was tough/stupid ---we seeing a pattern here lol
My new to me 98 Road King has a windshield and i bought a 3/4 helmet with a drop visor . But the damn thing slowly freezes up to the point its unusable so end up with the visor up , any ideas ?

Get defogger spray, and put on a few coats. The fog is from the heat your eyes and head are generating. This should reduce or eliminate the problem.

Happy New Year

 

I've ridden in 30° before but I've never had my face shield freeze up. It fogs up when I'm stopped and breathe on it but clears up after I get moving.

 

Go to a dive shop or sporting goods store and get 'Sea Drops' or spit on it and wipe it down

 

My Shoei Neotec has a Pin-Loc internal visor that snaps to the inside of the dropdown visor. Prevents fogging and/or frosting. Maybe you can find a snap on visor for your helmet that has this Pin-Loc feature??

Check out Pin-Lock on Google to see if your helmet is on their list. If not then go to www.fogcitypro.com for a universal kit for any visor shield. Got you covered.

 

On cold mornings, my glasses used to fog up till I bought a pair with foam surrounds. They also auto darken. Not too dark though unfortunately.

Some folks use a good, non-lotion type soap (Ivory) on their glasses and face shields, then wipe clean/dry with a soft cloth that has not been "softened" with a fabric softener.


If this fails, a sure fire method is one of those face masks that forces expelled breath (and moisture) out and down away from the face mask.


The really best option is a for-real snowmobile helmet with a dual shield strap-on breath guard, chin wind guard and even perhaps a electrically heated face shield.

 

Physics at work here, warm face and breath along with cold air=fogging up.
I tried all the products, only thing that works for me is ventilation, plenty of it.

 

You might be able to retrofit your helmet with a snowmobile style shield (they are "double pane"). I had a helmet that could switch back & forth.


I still had trouble with fogging on the snowmobile, so I took a cheap paint spray mask and cut off the charcoal intake filters. The one-way valve in the mask expelled my breath downward, out the bottom of the helmet. The mask went on before the helmet. Worked pretty decent.

 

I use an anti fog spray that I got at a ski shop. Works pretty well.
