Modern Vespa

Well not in a bad tempered kind of way. I wear glasses and use a FF helmet and up to now I haven't had any problems with fogging up either with the helmet visor (which is supposedly "anti-fog") or my glasses, but this morning was the first day with temps in the low 40's and my glasses were starting to fog up at stop lights and when the traffic slowed down, presumably because there was no cold air coming in the helmet to help keep them clear.

Other than cleaning them with some kind of anti fog spray does anyone have any suggestions how to solve this? I just flipped up the visor and after I started moving they started to clear, but I am just a little wary of even starting to move off when I am peering through foggy eyeglass lenses.

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I think the respro fog masks will take care of this.

I was getting ready to post something like this myself.
45f this AM and had to keep my FF visor significantly cracked open all 30 miles to work.
I know it will get worse when my new Balaclava gets here...
I have ridden sub-zero with 3/4 helmet but this FF is a new experience.

The Respro does not work with flip-ups...

The fog is probably on the inside and is caused by the moisture from your eye. If your frames allow and you can tolerate it just move the lenses a little away from your eye allowing air to circulate behind the lens and reduce the moisture build up.

I wouldn't use a fog preventer on the lenses without trying it out first. Some of them are made for glass only and will damage plastic lenses. If it smells like alcohol don't use it.

The taste test might be a better way to check....

Lazik eye surgery will solve your problems. I haven't noticed my eyes fogging up since getting it done. Other than that, a visor insert is the only way to go. A balaclava works somewhat, not great.

this stuff works good and has been around for years. It is small enough to fit anywhere and won't spill or leak. this is just 1 place you can get it at.

Mine leaked and was completely useless; my glasses prevented it from fitting properly. (LASIK is not an option for me.)

If I lived in a colder climate, I'd get a helmet with a built-in breath box like they have on snowmobile helmets.

Thanks. There's an REI in a mall not too far from from here so I'll check them out this weekend.

I don't wear glasses but I do know what you mean. I sweat a lot (even in winter) and I have to keep my FF face shield cracked open just barely when stopped or slow moving. sucky trade off but you'll prob get used to it about March next year.

After a foggy ride last night, I realized it's time to re-treat my glasses and face shield. I use Zooke on the inside of the face shield and on my glasses, and Rain-X on the outside of the face shield.

don't use rain-x it will eventually fog/haze the plastic and make the shields junk. stick with a good plastic cleaner then polish. the following is one type of product to look for: http://www.compacc.com/prod.cfm/cid/1104004/pid/560

Well you could always use the Norwegian Baby Whale Spit... Thats what our suba dive instructor called it... its basically just a very mild dish soap and water solution. Worked pretty well underwater... Another trick I heard about but never was too keen on trying was spitting on it and then wiping it clean.
