Buy a flip up shield. It replaces the visor on the top of your helmet. Works for me

Helmets with the flip up visor work best for me, and you can exchange clear, to tinted, Found out at Niagra Falls last year, down pour, pulled off glasses, pulled down shield, better vision, no fogging

From an earlier post:
A few year ago someone was selling a large, goggle mask that worked well with no helmet at all but I had a problem getting it fit properly when I was wearing my 1/2 helmet.
I can't remember the name of the company and I haven't seen that mask lately but it has to be here, somewhere!

I finally got off of my butt and started searching for this darned thing and darned if I didn't find it!
Wouldn't you know it, there's not a single indication as to who made or where it came from!

All I can say is that it sort of looks like a hockey mask and I ordered mine in black (what else?) with a tinted lens and uses an elastic strap to hold it in place.

Perhaps one day I'll figure out where I got it from.

FOUND IT!!!!
Unfortunately, the supplier secondfacemask is apparently no longer in business.
Too bad. These masks are small enough to fit in a saddlebag right on the top of my leather gear and not be in the way when not in use.

Another good trick if not mentioned already is gloves with a soft sided thumb back. You use it to wipe off the excess water from your glasses or goggles.

Some motorcycle gloves, like some ski gloves, have a built-in wiper.

If it is wet ...... and if it is really wet the goggles come down.




I lost those goggles. Using a smaller set until I can source another pair the old school ones.

Buy a large bandanna. Use Rain-X on your goggles. I use a neoprene mask sometimes.
