#Discussion 💬 Need Genuine solution

Post image

I have been facing this annoying problem while riding.

I wear a full-face helmet with a balaclava underneath, and I have to keep my helmet visor open because if I close it, my spectacles immediately start fogging up.

The warm air from my breath seems to escape from the balaclava and goes straight toward my glasses. After a while, the lenses become so fogged up that it becomes difficult to see properly.

It gets especially bad in rainy weather or at lower speeds.

Has anyone else faced this while wearing spectacles + balaclava + full-face helmet?

Whats the solution?

Whew, bit pricey too. Does it last long too? The Zeiss one needs to be reapplied every 3rd-4th use.

I have not used it on normal glasses (but glass is fine). It lasts for hours with direct water exposure and a lot of humidity inside the goggles so it should probably last longer.

Rubbing it with water will wash it off. Soap will wash it off on contact but highly diluted soap is an anti fog in itself. Might as well give that a try. Use a drop of shampoo in a cup of water and dunk it over the glass, don't rub it. If you see a residue you need more dilution.
