it has to be fairy liquid, - and the old standard stuff not the poofey purple "essence of wild elderberry" or the like. However you are leaving a film of the stuff so your vision is not so perfect, like the double glaze effect you get with fog city.

My advise, my a Shark RSR where the respro style mask is built in, - this is the only helmet that has helped my misting issues, and I get them due to hayfever, and never breathing easily on a bike. - I can even keep sneezes off of the inside of my visor now! - :lol:

foggy mask is great
it does take a few attempts to get it sitting right, but once there you'll never mist up again. and after a while you forget it's even there.

Always used a fog-city insert, sticks to the visor like double glazing and, if you do it carefully, doesnt distort your vision and totally stops misting.

Doesnt help me in the rain tho cos I've got tear-off mounts on my visor and the rain gets in through the mounts and fills up the fog-city insert to give me that special effect "goldfish" look :lol:

You did listen to what Mr Ibbott told you about not holding your breath in the corners Timothy? :P

I think most of us must have had a problem at Snetterton, as the inside of my visor was almost "raining"!!!! So, like all the best (worst) solutions I decided to fit my "foggy" mask ten minutes before the race. I dug it out of my toolbox, pulled off the sawdust and hair, and skillfully wedged it into my Roof (poof!!!) crash helmet. Big mistake...the air simply entered the vent in the chin bar and exited between my cheeks and the mask in a sort of super-fast jet-stream across my eyes and forehead for the entire race. Brilliant!!!!....I simply ended up with streaming, stinging eyes...AND the bloody visor still misted up!!!

You guys are fitting them incorrectly I'm sure. Since mine has been fitted to my Shoei Raid 2 it's been perfect. No fogging up etc.
