Anti fog spray for visors and spectacles

[Streetbudgie]

Anyone else use Bob Heath spray to stop visor and spectacle fogging?


I had some old cans which have now run out and the new Bob Heath stuff I bought last week is pants, just doesn't work.


Anyone got any alternative products?

Rain-x anti fog is the best I have tried. £5 from asda.  It's as good as anything and one application used to last s me a few days. Bob heath would only give me one commute to work, was fine when I raced but not too good for daily use.

I now use a fog insert which is even better because it doesn't deteriorate mid journey if rain  gets in etc

pinlock. I've found them to work better than so called anti fog spray.
I wear glasses to no problem so far.

Pinlock here too. Steamed visors a thing of the past.

ProGrip anti fog insert, been using them for years, i couldn't do without it now.
Anti fog, anti glare at night, has a slight auto tint in sunlight, a great piece of kit.
Beware if you have an Arai lid as it is shaped around the air vents so you need to order one specifically for them, otherwise they're a universal fit.
Wider vision than a pin lock too.
Under £20 on Ebay.

Good one Darrsi.


I have a pinlock in my visor, it is a fantastic bit of kit. My mate got one with his helmet but didn't fit it until he asked me "What's this pinlock thing for?" After one ride-out all he could say was WOW.


I've got some Rain-X in the garage, I used it a few times but as it's something you have to apply often I found I couldn't be arsed to use it.

I know some people still use Rain X, but i ruined 2 visors with it before. Only meant for use on glass anyway so not really designed for plastic visors, it's for filling in porous glass which doesn't apply to plastic.
My visors looked like they had a multi coloured oil slick on them and both had to be binned.
I wouldn't ever use it again, although there is a similar product out there which is specifically for plastics, but i find once the visor gets wet through rain or condensation it all gets a bit messy.

another vote for pinlock.
I just replaced my with a reactalight one  & its great (was pricey though) but a standard pinlock about £20 I think!

Where did you get the reactolite pinlock from ?

Anywhere that sells pinlock inserts should have the options to buy different tints. I believe the reactive one is called 'Protectint' and works the same way as reaction lenses in glasses

I can't find anywhere that sells a reactolite visor that's why I asked where the poster got it from. I still can't find one and, in fact, I've never even seen one.

You need to look for Protectint apparently

[darrsi]

The ProGrip visor insert is reactolite too, the clear version is good enough for me, but i also have another visor with the tinted version on, which is for really sunny summer days.

[Grahamm]

Another vote for Pinlock here, but do make sure you keep it properly adjusted.

If it starts steaming up, run a piece of paper around the silicone bead between the Pinlock and the visor and if it slips through, turn the pins at the side to make sure it's seated properly.

 I got it online 
I don't have the link unfortunately as I cleared my emails out but it came from amn online place based in Leicester.. have to be careful which helmet you have as certain Shoei have different visors! CW1 CW3 etc ...
I may still have the packaging will check when I'm home at weekend

[Grayo]

Thanks for that. 

[Robbie8666]

Thanks for that. 

I know it more expensive than a standard pinlock but I like the fact I can wear it in all weathers & not have that problem of having to stop to put on sunglasses or remove them..
especially this time of year with the sun low n bright. when its out!
 

[Hugh Mungus]

Eek. Everything is so expensive. Glad my lid has a drop down tinted visor built in. I was considering buying the photochromic pinlock for my spare lid but on second thoughts I'll spend the money on something else.

£50 ! Like you my Caberg has a drop down tinted visor, and also came with a clear pinlock supplied for a total price of less than £130.

Pinlock has been a revelation not having had it before but my problem is that my bloody glasses still fog up.
I tried some fluid on them last night but it didn,t work.
Does anyone use anti mist fluid on their glasses and which one.

[crickleymal]

If I use anything it's just a drop of detergent. Generally I resort to riding for a few seconds with the visor open then shutting it untill they mist up again. Repeat until the misting stops which seems to only take 5 minutes or so.

[Streetbudgie]

I'll give the Rain X a try, it's spectacle fogging that's most annoying, the visor isn't really an issue and I have a pinlock for when the cold weather starts.

[NorthWestern]

Make sure you get rainx anti fog. It's a black bottle.

[Dudeofrude]

Washing up liquid. Rub in on so it's all white, let it dry then buff it off. Only lasts a few days but by far the cheapest solution

These are brilliant - used to use all the time
