I've used a variety of products, and i ride alot at night because of school being after work. I had alot of problems with my visor fogging and now it's too cold to leave it cracked open.  I purchased a Foggy Face Guard by Respro form http://helmetharbor.com/gear/respro/foggy_opening.htm . They shipped it priority mail. It is as reasonable as a fog city shield price wise.
I tried it this weekend at it works great. No fog at <40F, and no cold air on my face. The  Balaclava i used previously cannot compare to this piece.  The Foggy is easy to install (Velcro) and is not permanent , another  plus. Well worth the money, to me at least.

Hmmm.... Sounds interesting!

Anyone else use this product? I like to get another opinion!

Looks kinda like the thing my helmet had when I got it.  It certainly stopped the visor fog.  My glasses fogged instead.  :x

I got to try it with glasses as well as night, my glasses didn't fog. It's a pretty good neoprene seal with a clip for the bridge of your nose.

It does look close to the insert that came with the HJC AC-11 helmet I bought last year.  It works well.

A friend (his job is organizing rides for several clubs - poor guy) who has lots of rain/cold weather experience says that a "little" dish soap rubbed into the visor will keep it from fogging for up to 2 months.  I've not tried it myself.

don't the make an anti fog face shield instead of having to wear that thing?   :dunno:

i wonder if it also keeps your face warm.  i went out for a ride today and my nose got a bit nippy

I have a X-Lite 801 helmet which has a fog resistant inner visor (http://www.x-lite.it/Caschi/Accessori/Accessori_View.asp?SFam=801R), which works great - the visor doesn't fog up even in subzero temperatures (Celsius!).

Unfortunately, my glasses do - but if you don't need to use glasses, you should be OK with such inner visor.

I have thought about making a 'breath out' tube - with a mouth piece similar to diving snorkel - to get the breath out of the helmet...

I have similar experiences,
Dish soap did help to reduce fogging on the visor, but my glasses still fogged up.
Keeping the helment open a crack stops fogging, but in cold wet weather the wind makes my eyes run.
I had one of the HJC inserts, it worked quite well, even huffing hard to try anf fog things up. It was a little uncomfortable so I only used it in damp or cold weather. Unfortunately this taking out for occasional use means I lost it.
I'm thinking about getting a replacement or hopefully a more comfortable guard to do the same.

I've been using one of the Foggys guards all summer and they are great. I think that they are less intrusive because they only touch your nose and tops of your cheeks whereas the HJC I tried made more contact. I have an HJC CL-14. Even in warm weather it was worth using. I live (kindof) in the country in Ohio, and it is constantly foggy in the mornings during late summer. After putting the insert in, I just did not have to raise my shield at all. The only downside is that you can't pick your nose!

Ok, I just bought a Foggy.  Last year winter faceshield/glasses fogging was a problem for me.  It's getting colder here so I'll post a critique when I get to try it ....the Foggy....not picking my nose.

Yes it does, i got tired of having a Santa Claus nose all day after a ride, and so far this seems to do the job of providing some wind protection as well.

Is this Foggy thing removable? In other words, can it be taken out during the summer and put back in next winter?

My sheild has anti-fog coating on it. Still fogs up if i'm not moving.... Re: glasses, I wear contacts when I ride....

It's velcro. The only thing that's permanent is one small male piece that adheres to the inside of the chin guard.

Hmmm... that's a concern. I looked at the product picture. It looks like that velcro strip will hit right about the place that my chin slightly rubs my chin bar...  :dunno:

You think that Foggy Face Guard by Respro would work at temperatures of 20F?

I once tried a piece like that with my HJC CL12, but it was too hard (scratchy to put on) and would not work with my glasses.  Maybe a smaller size would work?  It's what the dealer had.

To prove I could (I can't) I went riding yesterday at about 22F on the thermometer.  Fogged up instantly.  Came home, put some anti-fog goo on the viser and my glasses.  The viser still fogged up badly.  My glasses did not but instead it all condensed and they got drenched but it didn't matter since the viser was completely fogged.  In fact it wasn't really fog by the time I stopped; it was frost.  I had to flip it up and then the cold air made my eyes tear up.  Before I read these posts I started thinking "snorkel?"  So now I'm just wodering if you all think it would work at temperatures that low.  Anybody ever had success with the Foggy Face Guard or anything else down there, while keeping the full-face helmet?

Motorcycelist magazine named it the best thing to combat fog period....
cant say much more than that.

I admit to growing tired of the fogging issue.  

I have a similar Breathe Guard from HJC Helments for my CL-12.  Also velcro's in.  Gives you that "Fighter Pilot" look.  Cost only $10 from my local dealer.

I've tried it on rides as low as 26F and it worked well.  Even had a balaclava on underneath.  A bit of a chore to slip the helmet over the eyes with it velcro'ed in, but never had any serious fogging problem while using it.  

Speaking of "Foggy" things, I have not yet gone the Fog City ProShield route, but no one who bought one ever slagged it.  Only discouraging word was you have to be very deliberate on how you apply it to the inside of your visor, as once on -- it's on for good.

Roy...

I just use soap, or FogX (for car windshields.)  they seem to work well for me...
