    "Foggy" breath guard

    I've always had problems with my visor fogging on the track, especially in humid/damp weather.

    I picked up one of the "Foggy" breath guards form Sturgess last week before i went to Shannonville. The install was straight forward, only took a few minutes and it works great. I got in two cool and damp sessions in the morning before we got rained out but i got no fogging at all!

    If anyone else has had problems with visor fogging, i'd suggest picking one of these up. Any local shop should be able to get you one.

    one of the best cold weather riding investments that I've made (next to heated grips).

    I've tried it all on the visor, soap film, shaving cream, anti-fog spray and the only work temporarily. The Foggy mask has never failed me.

    These are great for helping to stop your glasses from fogging up when riding in the rain or on colder mornings.

    I don't wear glasses but i would suspect that it would help a lot with that too!

    I bought a foggy and it does make a difference.

    As the OP said, I still have to open my visor sometimes, but without the foggy it would be WAY worse.

    The annoying thing about it is the FIT and the fact that the velcro parts often scratch my face when taking on/off helmet.

    The fit keeps changing and the effectiveness of the foggy thing is basically based on fit - if you can get it right it works wonders, if you don't it's not that effective.

    same helmet i have. agreed that the original "breath guard" if it can such be called is pretty much useless.

    Only issues I've ever had with any of my Foggyz' is the Velcro side that's glued to the lid

    I found on Hot days the Glue would loosen and the Velcro would shift a little
    Doesn't affect the Foggy but it's a real PITA when carrying your Lid and you get Glue on your fingers (ya i know I'm being VERY picky)

    That and it makes wiping away any Snot impossible

    I have found this occurs when the chin surface is not cleaned before applying. You get better results when cleaning with alcohol before applying the velcro. Something to give a try next time anyway.

    Hmmmm
    Come to think of it
    I've always just stuck it on

    I'll keep that alcohol idea in mind

    Re: "Foggy" breath guard

    I have an authentic one, but I'm not a huge fan of it. If I wear sunglasses I find it pushes the breath under them and they will fog (not the visor) especially if I flip open the visor. I'm not a real fan of "recirculated" breath as when I've worn one for an extended period of time I find I'm forced to breath deeper due to less oxygen. I've found that just wearing a dew rag around the face and the visor openned a crack will be enough in slow the fogging up.
    Got Torque?
