    what is fogging your glasses or your visor? just clean the visor once a week with glass cleaner like windex works great

    I only came back to bikes in the summer but in my youth wore a rat-scarf (Bandanna to US readers) tied around my neck and over the bridge of my nose. (Google "Outlaw biker scarf" to see what I mean)

    If my memory is still ok, it seemed to work!

    when i wore specs and went skiing, i used "RainX anti-fog" unsure if it's still out there, but it worked wonders for me

    This is getting a lot of interest on the VentureRider site:
    Webbikeworld

    My problem is with glasses too and I'm thinking about popping the $5 to try it.

    Well coming from a hockey background and wearing half visors that would fog up we used to use regular shampoo on a rag and rub that stuff on the visor then wipe with a wet cloth hope it helps

    I thought glass cleaner was supposed to damage visors? My instructions from my goggles said that.It said to just use warm water,so that's what I use for goggles and helmet visor,works very well

    I use Rain X anti fog on the inside of my visor and both sides of my glasses in cold weather.It's better than nothing,but they still fog up completely every time I have to stop for more than a couple seconds.Then when I take off,by the time I hit 2nd or 3rd gear,all the fog completely clears up.It's exciting going thru every intersection 100% blind,and wondering if there's a car in front of me that I'm about to rear end 8O

    TinyTim, a little dab of shaving foam on both sides of your bins, rub it in 'till it disapears, then you can tiptoe through the tulips with impunity. 8)

    Cool,I'll have to try that,or the shampoo idea.BTW,I'm not the REAL Tiny Tim,tho I DID have long hair when I was younger,and I'm of Dutch descent.I think tulips are associated with the Dutch :lol:
