If you can afford it get a dual pane pin lock visor - they don't fog ever. Anti fog spray is essential with a full face visor and you need to apply it frequently. There are lots on the market (CatCrap brand (best), FogZero, etc.). A normal visor rated anti fog just means they applied anti fog spray at the factory and you'll need to keep re applying it.

I spit on my dive mask which prevents fogging, wonder if that would work?

I was wondering the same thing, remembering what we used to do with our masks. Suppose the no fog spray would be a better option. I have a scorpian and have the same problem. Cold days are the only time i wear a full face. Often, i use "recon wrap" one of those synthetic head wraps. Works pretty good.

I know that this will sound wierd but use dish washing detergent, Dawn , Ivory Snow etc. Put a dab on a finger and rub it into the the inside of the shield till its dry then wipe it withe a soft cloth like polish. Works great and good for a couple of days.

I have had a Scorpion and they do not fog; I now have a Seven Zero Seven (house brand at Cycle Gear) and it has not fogged.

Cat Crap from the local ski shop. Absolutely a great product. Also, a breath deflector ...

I use a Pinlock system in my HJC Full face. It is a second snap in shield like mentioned above. It creates a dual pane visor that is sealed by a silicone bead around the edges of the Pinlock (just like my dual pane snowmobile visor). Works great!

+1. Just installed a PinLock in my full face. Works great. I did use antifog treatment but it only lasts a day or two. Once you install a PinLock you don't have to do anything further.
