Big Green Valley Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I've never owned a full face helmet because the ones I've tried on have fogged up in seconds. I used to wear a 3/4 helmet for winter riding, but have also had them fog up. With this winter looking to be pretty cold, I would like to try a full face again, but it has to be anti fog. So, please forward your opinions and experience with your full face helmets. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFM Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I had an X-Lite with a nosepiece to keep your breath going down, and it had a Pinlock system, which layered the visor with another visor inside the helmet, keeping the fog from forming. It is the X-Lite 901 Checa Replica. I use it still as my winter helmet for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Lite is the Racing line of Nolan. The system works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Haven't had a problem with my Scorpion 400's or 700's. sportbiketrackgear has the 700's for $110, 400's for 80 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 You are asking about faceshields and not helmets. It isn't the helmet that causes the fogging - it's the shield...That being said, there are a lot of great examples listed like the No-Fog inserts, etc. You can also buy anti-fog stuff for an existing shield.Scorpion shields are damn near the best anti-fog built shield out there... So is Shark from what I am told...If you ride in winter, buy a dual pane shield like they use for snowmobiles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Valley Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks for the advice. I went to the Iron Pony last night and tried a few on. I liked the fit of the Scorpion EXO-700 and purchased it from Sportbike Track Gear today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an 'extra' lens that is considerably thicker and it attaches to the inside of the regular lens. It works very very well. It comes with the Nolans, or at least did last year.
