Respro Foggy

Has anyone used a Respro foggy? If so, how good or bad are they? It seems like a good system (in theory) but whats it like in the real world. Any advice would be great before I blow my money.

Cheers,

quite good in winter, never really needed it in summer though, but it does exactly what its meant to do

Thanks for the quick reply weegaz

Yep I have one. Works very well. There is a trick to getting your lid off with one fitted though. Otherwise the thing can turn inside out and scratch your face. While this can do wonders for your image as a ruffy tuffty biker type, it can get a bit much. With your visor open, pull it away from your face with your finger tips as you remove your lid.

Oh, and check you lid has a suitable lining for the velcro to attach to in the requisite positions. My mates 'Shark' lid didn't.

fog city visor insert is better than any face mask, unless you're trying to stop specs steaming up?

I dont know, I've seen the Photos section and would probably recommend a face mask for a few characters regardless of whether their on a bike or not!!!

I tried a fog city first and absolutely hated it!
It warped my vision a little and gave a halo effect to any light source - very nasty at night or in the rain. I could also see it in front of my eyes!
I know loads of people swear by them but I just didn't like it - horses for courese, I suppose.

I have a Foggy Respro Mask fitted to my Shoei XR900 and I find it works a treat. Having got used to it being there, I now don't like riding without it! It is worth pointing out that it is made of Neoprene & therfore makes you sweat. It then absorbs the sweat into the fabric cover. I've done about 8000 miles with it in, it's been washed already & it now needs another wash!
I also find that if I'm hot, my visor can still mist up, due to the heat coming from my head! So I also use Bob Heath visor spray when it starts to get colder outside! This works well as long as you don't put too much on & you do polish it out well... It doesn't like water though! Kinda turns a translucent, milky white colour! Very offputting, I can promise you!
