What do you use to stop your visor & glasses from fogging up ? It's always hot & humid @ FL After 2 laps it's like I'm driving w a SCUBA mask full of water :/
Drive closed car with visor up or leave visor down, but slightly cracked open with small bit of tape or develop Niki Lauda overbite which directs breath down and out of the bottom of the helmet (don't laugh....it works).
buy some fog city..works well. nothing quite like being aboard a superbike at the old road Atlanta headed into the dip @ 170 + and having your visor fog!!!! fog city is god stuff!
You might try to use a two pane visor. Normally found on outdoor recreation vehicle use. I snowmobile in the winter and the two pane eliminates all fogging. Made with two visor panels (cut to fit) and some double sided tape. Put several small vent holes at the top (,0625" or less) and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.
You need a pair of these: Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses Designed to help the wearer develop a relaxed attitude to danger. The lenses turn completely black at the first hint of trouble, thus preventing the wearer from seeing anything that might alarm him/her.
I can still fog it up from sweat alone in 30 degree weather when in an intense extended karting run. I did not find the rain-x anti fog made much of a difference at all, I tried it in a 12hr last December. I'll have to check on the fog city.
I've seen drivers improvise with tape or foam (or combination of both) inserted into the inner side of the helmet just under the eyes so that their breath is segregated from getting up to the visor. Not sure if it works or not but have seen top drivers do this trick so there must be something to it. BHW
This works well if you do not wear glasses, if you wear glasses, it shifts the fogging to your glasses. @_@
yep, I had a motorcycle helmet that had a built in flexible rubber "fog screen" in it, all it did was instantly fog my glasses. fortunately it was removable. the tape trick to get airflow through the helmet should work, however I wouldn't recommend it on a bike or anything open cockpit; and it will compromise the flame/smoke protection in case of fire.
contacts *can* be a bad idea because they have a tendency to fall off under g-loading (usually under braking) and then you have a blind racing driver.
IIRC that's true of hard lenses, not soft. I believe I heard that when Ralf Schumacher had his huge accident in Austrailia and they wondered if it was down to his contact lenses.
Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo. wipe it on the inside of the visor. Just need a thin film barely any. Used to do this when we had clear hockey visors that would fog all the time from the body heat in a cold arena. Works great. dishwashing detergent also works extremely well.
I've been a year-round motorcycle rider in the PacNW for 18 years. Pinlock anti-fog shields are the best thing going. They are similar to the Fog City, but utilize two pins and the curved shape of the visor to hold it in place...they don't come loose like the adhesive-attached Fog City.
