riding with cateracts???
 
or system 5 anti-fogging advice (I though this title would get more looks)

Okay the weather is $h1t here in the midlands UK right now.. and now that i am an all weather / every day biker (the dreaded commute).. i need some advice.. i have the system 5 helmet ... I have used it plenty in the rain.. but never filtering before... when filtering I am going slowly...e.g. no wind... and I get hot.. so this equals a very fogged up visor.. So what you suggest for stopping it ... I was riding blind this am or sometimes with a very wet face (if i pin lock it up)..

your gonna hate me........
 
But..... I prefer an open face lid, and a "bubble" visor if i have to have one.... ok it makes a guy look like a bit of a prawn but it dont mist up, and you soon get used to the cold...... either that or Numbness sets in!

I have used an open face lid 365 days a year in the UK since 1990 when a large German Shepard Dog took a very long and smelly Pee into My full face lid that was chained to my BMW! :( there was no option but to buy a cheap lid to get the 150 miles home....... 19.99 got me an open face lid. I liked it so much I then paid out 75 quid for a good un!

I use a Caberg Justissimo Flip Lid, and don't have the mist up problem, I also use BRASSO on the inside and outside of the Visor as it makes water bead off in rivets.
