I wear glasses under a Nolan N100 helmet. When it gets below 65 degrees, my glasses fog up. There's no condensate on the visor - just on the glasses. Of course, if I crack the visor a bit, the problems goes away. But then my eyes water as soon as get up some speed. Does anyone have any experience with this rather silly problem ? | ||

Milt--I've been wearing glasses forever and up until last year I never knew what to use for anti-fogging. I was at the International Bike Show in NYC and was approached by some outspoken salesman for ZOOKE lens cleaner/anti-fog stuff--he cleaned my lenses and,using a humidifier showed that they were very fog resistant. I bought a couple containers (2 "waterless cleaner" tubs and 1 "Z20" bottle)--I used them reqularly and they worked but I have since bought a pair of glasses with "Transition Lenses" and the guy at Eyeland suggested just keeping them clean with water and a cloth. So far, as long as I keep them clean, they tend to not fog up. By the way, I bought a Mono X2 flipopen helmet and the venting is such that the air blows in from the sides with the visor fully closed--so my eyes don't get watery. Still s@#ks being blind.

Thanks, Steve. I clean my glasses every morning with dish washing detergent, and simply keeping 'em clean doesn't seem to work for me. Zooke lists several products on their web site: Z-Drip, Z-One, Z-Way. Which of zeese did you use ? Also, please explain "transition lens". Is this some kind of photosensitive lens ? | ||

with the zooke stuff stay away from the wax cleaner. I bought some at the show and it turned into a gooey mess which didnt work in less then a year. The stuff in the spray bottle still works two years later though. | ||

Hey I know this is a little late but I thought that I would let you guys know how I have addressed the issue. I use a item called a "FOGGY". I don't remember who makes it but a racing buddy of mine saw them at a race and bought 2, one for him and one for me. They were $8, I think. They are made of black neoprene and velcro to patches you stick to the inside of your helmet. I ride in cold weather and it works well, not perfect. It fits over your nose and along your checks. When your helmet is on it deflect your breath down. You have to play with the fit to get it where you like it. I've had mine for a couple of years now but I recently saw them at the Yamakawahondazuki shop in my area.  | ||

Milt-I've used both the Zwax (comes in blue tub) and the Z20 (blue spray bottle). It seems the wax leaves a coating on the lens --but I noticed it yellowed my motorcycle helmet faceshield so I stopped using it. The Z2O spray works very well and it can also clean up cd's/DVD's. Transition lens are exactly that: a photosensitive lens that darkens in bright light. Also something that I would highly recommend -they are a little steep in price but they not only cut down on glare but they let you avoid the need for sunglasses.Steve | ||
