Default Visor fogging up

So it was 50 when I left for work this morning and my visor kept fogging up pretty bad. I have a breath guard on my helmet, but it still fogs up. It seems to be getting worse because it didn't used to do it this bad.

Is there some product I can put inside my shield to eliminate the fogging? I don't want to hear any "I heard that.." or "My friend's cousin uses..." I want to hear first hand experiences what works.

Doesn't work really. Not cracking the visor, I need to fully open it ant red lights.

There's anti fog stuff they have at Cycle gear that works, I think they also have it in individual wipes, so you can carry them with you.

I've used it, but it's something you have to reapply, so I end up just crackin the visor (and dealing with my eyes watering )...

Anti fog visors FTW!! (now if only my Arai had one)

I know you don't want to hear it, but GM and others at TWF used to swear by Cat Crap... I've read multiple articles praising it too.

I have Zooke's wax I picked up at the Cycle World show. The spray works okay for cleaning, but doesn't help with fogging. The wax is great for fogging! Blue stuff, you apply it exactly the same you would on a car. Spread, dry, buff.

I have the fog city insert in my helmet... works fucking bad ass! the only problems i see is since it sticks to the inside of the visor... when you open your visor it catches the helmet a bit and can make opening it a pain till you get used to it.

but the fog free works AWESOME... and it tints automatically with the increase/decrease of light available... it's pretty quick too

this is the only pic I have of it

These are WONDERFUL. I keep some spares up at the cabin in the mountains, as fogg rolls in quite rugularly, and/or temps and humudity change frequently...most of the sprays only work for a few minutes, and not at all in cold heavy rains. These work in a blizzard.....ask me how I know.

FOG CITY FTW! Btw they sell them at both Village Honda and Shawmutt Hills. SH probably has them in stock.
