If you want a FF helmet that has some style to it, check out the Icon Variant series.



Their Alliance series also has some awesome graphic models, I'm fond of the Rat.



Both have good antifog that actually works if you follow the care directions.

If you like a half helmet as I do, and if it has snaps, buy a Universal Flip-up Face Shield with 3 Adjustable Snaps. I bought mine at Jafrum for $12... keep it in my saddlebag in a cloth cover and easy to snap in place.. works great.

I always have a set of googles in the saddlebags next to my rain gear. Sunglasses get so fogged as soon as it starts to rain that I might as well be blind.

Shooter - thanks for the info - they look like they'll work. For $19 I'll take a chance.

Mk guitar

I stretch a bungee across the mirror stalks, and hang a rag to catch the spray.


That has to quite a sight but interesting idea.

I'm the one who posted about the swim goggles. They work great. I got mine at Wally World. I use Rainx anti-fog on the inside and they worked awesome. I used them in a down poor. It was raining so hard I could hardly see. I couldn't pull over at the time because I was on the highway. At the next exit I did. However, while on the highway, they worked great. Here is a pic of the ones I have.



Here is the link my original thread.

Awesome Rain Goggles

Hey Shooter............THANKS!!!!!

It is abt F'ing time someone comes up with what appears to be a GOOD solution to the riding glasses fogging up.

I will get some of those glasses (not some, one) and try it.

Tried MANY anti-fog crap NONE that worked. REALLY appreciated your post.

ANYONE have tried the glasses Shooter suggested?

I've used Zooke Z-wax in the past for anti-fog purposes - especially riding in cold weather. Works well - not perfect (no fogging, but leaves a slight residue on the glass).

My normal riding sunglasses - way-old Oakley Eye Jackets - ride against my cheekbones, so I've been riding at times where they literally fill up and I'm blinking in the accumulated water. Not good, so some of these ideas may be the ticket - especially the swimming goggles. Hmmmm.

Zooke Z-wax? Nvr heard of it. I will try anything. Where do u get it?

Also, how do u apply it and how long does it stay applies??

WAIT......................I RMEMEBER...........I was at Daytona Destination and there was a booth. Got the spray, vrey small bottle and he gave me the micofiber cloth. $20. Tried it and it did not work Fogges up.

He had a mister (like a humidifier running that fogged up the glasses. Then did a demo. Worked well "in the lab" but not out in real life. Maybe it is due to the cold temp in real life that made it fog up.

Thanks,

BuzzCap7
