I've always had good results with these to stop visor fogging.

It is a Respro Foggy mask.

Are you riding in the dark? The reason I ask is that I used to have a fog city insert and it was great in the daylight but in the dark I got a lot of halo's around lights and reflections. In the end I took it out (it took a long time to get the glue off the visor).

I'm currently waiting to find somewhere that has a Pin Lock visor for Arai lids. I don't know anyone who has had problems with the Pink Lock system.

I find my fog city does this to, but I would rather have a bit of this than having a fogged up visor, I've got a respro mask that Scoobs recommends and I would agree with him top bit of kit, really helps

I had one of the Hyper-optic fog city inserts that are supposed to go dark in the sun. It was terrible, it looked like it was always dirty even though it was spotless, the colouring wasn't good at all. I found the clear fog city can have a similar effect but the Pinlock is excellent and you can change them at any time so you can have tinted or clear.

I've got the fog city in both my full face and flip front lids, they work well. I've also got the Oxford version of the mask, but I had to sew the velcro patches in my lid as the self adhesive was not up to the job. The mask takes a bit of getting used to, but it works better than anything else I've tried.

I too like Scoobs and Fizz have the Respro Foggy anti fog mask. Never had any problems with the visor misting since fitting it, over 2 years ago.

Cheers
