I figured, "its only pocket change" anyway, so why not try it? The stuff went on okay, and buffed off enough to let me see without severe halos and starburst effects around lights. It took me about 5 minutes to be pretty disappointed, though. It helped a bit, but honestly, I don't think it did a really good job. I was riding along on a clear cold day, hit some fog, and had my visor INSTANTLY fog up so bad that vision went to zero. | ||

If you want to go whole hog, go to the [http://www.advrider.com/forums/ ADV Rider] forum and see what people have to say about Schuberth helmets. They are generally regarded to have some great ATV helmets that are quite fog resistant. However, there are a couple problems. They aren't available in the US, so you have to order them from Europe, although some people have been able to find them in Canada. Since they're not sold in the US, they won't have the DOT approval on them, but they meet the much higher EU standards. Oh, and they aren't anywhere near cheap. | If you want to go whole hog, go to the [http://www.advrider.com/forums/ ADV Rider] forum and see what people have to say about Schuberth helmets.
