Does anyone know of a good product that prevents face shields and eye wear from fogging up?

Cat Crap, no really! Available at ski shops & sporting goods shops here in the northeast.It's for ski goggles but works great on visors.

If you live close to any snowmobile dealerships, they should carry a anti or no fog type of product. I cant remember what it was that I used, but if I can find it Ill post the name

Rob:
After you finish with all of those bandaids and the next time you need a new helmet try a Scorpion brand helmet. Their shields are made from some material that does not fog. I was skeptical at first but in the last 6 months I find I no longer need to worry about that problem.
Besides the shield material, it is a really decent helmet, comparable to my Arais and Shoeis at about 1/3 of the cost.

WRT to ZOOKE products. I've tried several and the only one that really worked for me was the Z-Wax. It works well on visors and glasses, but needs relatively frequent reapplication. The liquid stuff frankly doesn't do much of anything.

Cat-Crap is good too, though I found Z-Wax to be a tiny bit better.

Thanks everyone for all the responses.
I'll try the Cat Crap or Z-Wax first. If that doesn't work, I'll try the pinlock visor. And if that doesn't work, I'll try the Scorpion helmet.

Cat Crap is good. Fire fighters use baby shampoo. When it vaporizes, the smell is unpleasant, but not especially toxic. You are usually smelling burning hair by then too, & stink is the least of your worries.

Picked up an exo-700 Rivot. It's sweet and a great price.

Respro Foggy. Fits into the inside of the helmet and prevents breath from reaching the shield.



Image from Kneedraggers.com but I bet any of our sponsors can get one for you. Cheaper than a new helmet and works great.

All the other products last for something like 20-30 minutes... more sometimes.

Seadrops and other types of scuba mask de-fogging products. Use it like a plastic polish, not to wash the inside of the face shield. Baby shampoo works too in the same way.
