Come January I'll be wishing I was there but in the mean time, it's sooooooo flat. And do they put any bends in the roads? ;D

My experience was the opposite.  I didn't like the Pro-Grip - the adhesive came undone allowing fog to occur between the Pro-Grip shield and the helmet shield.  (And when it's between the two, you can't just wipe it off)  The Fog City shields I've used have worked great.

Fog City had the clear adhesive and the Pro-Grip had the black rubber, right?

Yep.  I liked the Pro-Grip at first, but after only a couple of months, the adhesive was starting to let go.  My current Fog City has been on my shield since last season and is holding up well.

I'm glad to hear that, as I could not find a pinlock shield that was compatible with my visor at Cycle Gear but they did have a Fog City.  I installed it over the weekend but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

If it trashes my visor oh well because I have several clear visors for that helmet anyway.

This looks Promising:  http://www.webbikeworld.com/r4/ria-permanent-anti-fog-coating/



I even googled the company - their website says everything except where to buy it.  I would give it a shot.

I second the pinlock system.  Ordered a HJC CL-16 helmet that came with the pinlock.  Today it was 51 and misty (at my new home state of PA).  I could not get the visor to fog up.  I too found that using Dawn would help some, but not like this!   ;)

Okay I went to Cycle Gear a couple weeks ago to get a pinlock insert for my helmet but they had none compatible, so I got a Fog City.

It does as advertised, it did not fog up.  BUT, night vision kind of sucked due to reflections and refractions, and it just didn't look clear anymore.  They even had a warning to not use it at night.  Duh, that's when I need it the most!  I don't need it during the daytime!  Even daytime vision was annoying although it is adequate.

I slapped my other clear visor on this morning.  I wouldn't get another one but I'll save the Fog City visor for really, really cold days where fog is a real problem.  Barring a better anti fog solution for which I am still searching.
