Glasses fog
GlennLever:
I have a heck of a time with my glasses fogging, particularly on cooler days.
I have tried several different anti fogging sprays on the glasses.
Have tried warming the glasses by setting them on the intake manifold.
I have one last race in the series in October.
If there is any breeze at all with the helmet cracked open the fog on the glasses disapates.
I would like to try an air bottle with a hose into the helmet.
Thoughts, recommendations?
Oldschool:
Little RainX ? I know it puts a film over that might keep from fogging.
msundstrom:
I use Zoi (I think that is how it's spelled). I use it on both sides of my lenses and no fogging.

Glenn.....As you know I bought a new helmet and I love it....and I hate it. It fogs over instantly with the visor down.
I put shaving cream on the lens, I put Rain X anti fog on it and even some stuff Nave gave me and it still fogs up horribly. Friday night i was well past the finish line before lifting as I could not see the stripe.
My old Simpson has a anti fog shield and it works but they do not offer them for the new piece so im going to try two things. They sent me a breath deflector that snaps in the bottom of the eye port and will cover your nose to prevent your breath from coming up. The next is a small helmet blower to fan the lens. The helmet is a DJ Pro Air Flow and has a port for the blower so fingers crossed.

I think you are talking about Zooke, https://www.zooke.com/ and that is what I currently am using, and it does not work either.
I have gone to ski shops and tried their wipes and that does not work either

I had thought about a fan/blower, I shy away from that as (maybe a little paranoid) I am concerned with blowing cockpit air into the helmet. God forbid if there was ever a fire I would be blowing that into my helmet.
I'm thinking the best thing would be to have breathable bottled air blowing into the helmet?
My problem is staging and starting, once the dragster is moving the problem goes away.
I have also tried a head sock thinking that would keep my breath from fogging my glasses and that does help (my helmet has a helmet skirt).
I do not want to spend $1,000 on a FAST system.
My eye sight is not terrible and have tried running without glasses but that is not an option either.
