I wear glasses to. You have a few options.

1. A Foggy respro mask, this directs your breath away from the visor and your glasses so it stops the fogging up.

2. A Pinlock or a Fogcity visor insert, my personal preferance is for a pinlock, but the fog city works just as well. Think of it as double glazing for your visor.

3. Some peeps advocate a dab of fairy liquid on the inside of your visor that you polish off.

4. You can buy specialist visors sprays, I think a company called Bob heath make one.

I've gone for options 1 & 2, I rarely suffer now from misting / fogging problems.

pinlock m8 i can have my visor down all day riding without having to open it and you can change the inserts as well to tint for the summer unlike the fog city which is stuck on

Pinlocks can be fussy - mine fogs up at the bottom and forces me to dip my head to look at the clocks, which is annoying. Breath guards seem to do more than anything else for me.

edit: this is a good enough place to ask - what's the difference between Arai's standard breath deflectors and their racing ones?

i have a hjc hj-03 cant find a pinlock for that helmet or a fogcity

any clues please

if not looks like a breath deflector

Theres isnt a specific Fogcity for your lid, you want the universal one, 2nd one down on this page.

When I bought my lid and previous visors, they came with the pinlock posts, cant seem to find one that comes pre-installed for your visor, but heres the Pinlock DIY kit so could fit it yourself if you fancied it...

Pinlock inserts are here, not sure which one you need for your lid though

I used to have the same issue, but I purchased one of these:

Not too sure where I got it from but it was about a tenner and has never let me down since I put it in my lid. Rain, Snow, cold it is always good.

Didn't find this too successfull

Also I find that glases without an anti-reflecting coating don't fog up as much plain ones. Anyone else found that?

PS
I tried the stop breathing trick but found that it impared my ability to ride the bike

If you wear glasses, a mask is usually your best bet because it's going to deflect your breath away from both your visor and your glasses.

The masks that stick in your helmet using velcro pads might not work. When I upgraded my lid to an AGV Ti-Tech, my Foggy Respro wouldn't attach to the plush liner, it just fell straight out. If you can, try before you buy.

I have used an anti-fog liquid, which I had to apply to both glasses and visor, but it never seemed to be effective for very long and I wasn't entirely happy with the slightly blurred vision it produced.

A better solution might be to get a mask that you wear, rather than one that sticks in the lid. I've not been riding this winter, so I can't tell you how good this is.

+1 on foggy insert, works a treat and changes colour in bright sunlight
