Re: Glasses - Fazafou - 28-11-14
I wear glasses too and had the same issues years ago.
The only true solution is diverting your breath downwards, and I found a Foggy Face Mask the best thing yet.
They're about a tenner or so and Velcro in to the chin of your helmet.
Works great

Re: Glasses - Fazafou - 28-11-14
I used to use that, it is good but on very cold days you end up with actual water drops forming rather than just condensation.
As above, the foggy mask is a winner.
Prevention is better than cure, and all that jizz.

fog mask or a snood pulled up high over nose so when you pul helmet down it stays over nose?

This brings forth the real question: Why are there not pinlock glasses?
Re: Glasses - Punkstig - 28-11-14

Do you mean a prescription insert?
If so it wouldn't work, too much distance from your eyes, and your peripheral vision would make the prescription extremely difficult.

Would be even worse if each eye has a different prescription, which is likely, because if you moved your eyes to the left for instance then your right eye would be immediately out of focus.
It's a nice idea, just not really possible with a crash helmet unfortunately.

Re: Glasses - darrsi - 28-11-14
I don't need to wear my glasses during bright sunny days, I primarily got them after noticing my night vision was suffering.
A side effect which I didn't expect was when I had my tinted visor on in summer it gave the false impression that it was night time and blurred my vision again.
In turn, I found that my glasses didn't agree at all with my Arai crash helmet so I had to revert back to a clear visor in summer, although my visor insert does have a mild reactolite effect to it.
In the darker nights I have to wear a balaclava which perfectly holds my glasses properly in place, which is fine in the cooler autumn/winter weather but would be an issue on a hot summer night, but that's not really a problem for me anyway fortunately.
Re: Glasses - caretaker - 29-11-14
been riding for 35 years and never had a problem but, when i first started riding my specs would mist up so i (dont laugh) developed the habit of breathing down towards the base of the helmet. still do it today! also as a noob, i rode around at all speeds with my visor firmly shut (why do people still do that, especially black visor man?) which resulted in misting up while sitting in traffic lights etc. i soon cottoned on to opening my visor slightly as my speed decreased and i open it fully when in town, unless it's raining.

Oh they dont tell you that in the adverts do they.
You know how your brain is good at compensating for vision issues - so could you just have one eye lazered and let your brain use that eye for the correct focus, Still knowing my stupid brain it would probably use the wrong one
Re: Glasses - Drax - 29-11-14
If you cover your bathroom mirror with shaving foam & clean it off it prevents it misting up (It actually works)
Maybe it could work on your glasses? Not abrasive either.

Fella who comes into my work has had monovision laser surgery, one eye corrected for reading, the other for distance.
He said it takes a bit of getting used to but after a while it's okay.
Personally i think that would drive me mental but each to their own.

How does that work then - does he shut one eye to read and the other eye to see distance. ------- no wait a minute that would mean both eyes are now shut, you know what I meant

Re: Glasses - darrsi - 29-11-14
One of the main things they do stress about eye surgery is that if you expect everything perfect, have OCD or are the worrying or impatient type then you need to seriously consider everything before getting it done.
I had 10 good years of great eyesight, although i was expecting it to last longer than that, but everyone is different and your body changes as it ages, there's no real guarantees about anything where any surgery is involved to be honest.
