A friend of me uses the FogCity AntiFog shield and he too is very
satisfied.  He can keep his helmet closed, except for really difficult
situations like fog while it's freezing cold.
Still I find the tiny plastic makes your view a little less clear.

Because I drive every day, I bought a UVEX boss helmet with a double visor.
 Good helmet, no condensation!

Now the only problem I had left where foggy glasses ...
Fogg-X (while Rain-X itself works great) is bullshit.
But for my glasses I use a product called "Miraculin" which does what it
promises!  
I treat my 'bike-glasses' (which are sun sensitive) every 2 weeks in winter
and twice in summer and never get fogg on them.
I got the product from someone uses it on his safety glasses at work.
We used it on a visor too and it worked very good.
Miraculin is a German product made by BA Chemie, Oldenburg.

Bye,
Dirk
