Subject: RE: Antifog Shield
I would be interested to test the antifog shield...I tried once a
product called RAIN-X antifog (don't remember the exact name) but this
was a disaster : after 40 km riding the condensation made white water
traces in the visor. after that, I tried to wipe off the rest off the
product but my Shoei's visor seems to be attacked by this product, and
is not clear anymore. Does the antifog shield avoid condensation? Do you
have to ride with visor open?
