Default face shield fog
I wear a full face helmet and constantly deal with face shield fog in the mornings when it's chilly. Any suggestions? I know when I used to scuba dive, there was a product we used for our masks. Wondering if there is a tried and true one.

Thanks

See if you can replace your shield with a Pinlock system. In the alternative, some shield cleaners [Plexi-something] help as does the scuba mask paste.

My wife, an RN uses this for her glasses, due to the mask fogging her glasses. She says it works.

Get a helmet with a pinlock system. Eliminates fogging entirely. Btw, when I was scuba diving, we spit in our masks to keep them from fogging.

open the visor

open your helmet vents if you have them

put a chemical on the inside of the visor like Cat Crap

use a pinlock shield if you can

@Huggerbugger Spit was the product of choice for me as well.

Hmmmm?!? Baby shampoo; add water from a non-perfect seal around the mask; add eyes = some seriously unhappy eyes. No?

I've tried some of the commercial anti-fog treatments and some home remedies as well, but nothing works like a Pinlock visor in my experience.

Yep. As others have said, a Pinlock insert is the answer. It's basically double glazing for visors and works perfectly!
