Anti fog spray for visors and spectacles

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. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=...rt&_sop=15

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.

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!

I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.

I still can't find one and, in fact, I've never even seen one.

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.

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. :thumbup

CW1 CW3 etc ... I may still have the packaging will check when I'm home at weekend edit: found this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shoei-Pinlock-V...B01LWY0GIP

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.

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. |
