Default shoei xeleven helmet question

hello, i recently purchased a shoei x eleven helmet and i am having a problem with the face shield fogging up especially when im sitting still. I have all of the vents open but it still seems to fog up to the point that its hard to see especially at night. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong or if i have the venting set incorrectly. thanks

Try using pledge or plexus.

On cold days I had the same problem.
Called tech support and spoke with the only guy there it seems...I want to say Patrick.
Real nice guy, explained my issue.
He put a dual pane shield in the mail to me no charge.

This thing cant fog. It's great. I have opened it and had beads of moisture roll out, but no fog or moisture on the shield.

thanks alot, i called Shoei and spoke with Patrick. Apparently they forgot to include a bottle of water repellent in my box that he says should stop the fogging. Hes going to mail it to me. He also said if that didnt work he has something else in mind but he wanted to try the liquid first. thanks again for your help.
