best way to not fog!

[tricky m]

Dye mask is alot better than the annex. As said don't touch the inside of lense. After each day just rinse under tap with warm water. Leave to air dry. Just wipe any water marks off once dry. The more you rub the inside of lense the quicker the coating wears. I always change lense once a year. I've never have fogging issues.

Don't used soap... My friend once used a thin layer of soap on the lens, but then wiped it and then couldn't see out it ha

Thermal lenses never had any problems with my i4 or events

I just got something called Cat Crap (seriously haha) off eBay which is an anti-fog coating. Haven't tested it yet myself but might be worth a shot.

Don't mess with a functioning anti fog thermal lens

When it needs something better use cat crap etc.
Rainex will work but should not be used on plastics, it's designed for glass

An alternative is to use a fan. You can either pay for a fan designed for your goggles or for much less make one with a small computer fan and a battery

As above post by tommikka: Do NOT use Rain-X on plastics, it even says it on the bottle. You might end up compromising the strength of the plastic protecting your eyes.

Also... just add in a fan. you can even wire one up yourself. I used two 25mm fans on my JT Flex 8's and I never once fogged up, and the best bit... utterly silent, and not enough to dry your eyes either. Even when I was sweating like a mad man, not a hint of the misty stuff. They work a lot better than the manufacturer products and quieter.

Or.. get better goggles with better venting. i4's are pretty darn good (but offer less facial protection.)

I've fitted fan kits to two of my goggles - JT flex and Vforce. One has FANZ and the other was a DIY kit from ebay.Both kits work really well and not fogged since they were installed. May upgrade battery pack on the DIY kit to a 9V PP3 cell, as the 2 x 1.5V AA pack it came with don't last very long.

I also use this defog on my glasses as a back-up

Yep - is specified on label for glass only and definitely not to be used on high impact plastics

Motorcycle visors have been damaged (cloudy, milky effect or weakened and made brittle) by using Rain X on them

I got a pair of i4s off here and tried them out the other day. What can I say, no fogging whatsoever! Briliant mask too, £90 is that price for avreason and if it keeps you able to see all day then well worth the price!

GeeTee > 9V batteries have very low capacity (500mah is typical). Those two AA batteries are probably struggling to power the fan you put in as most are 5V to 12V's (I'm surprised it starts up!). I'd recommend 4 (6V) or 6 (9V) AA batteries which would give you around 2000mah capacity. The standard 9V battery is not really suitable for constant usage, only really for when you REALLY need to save weight and space, or when the fan is only on intermittantly. I find it's better to run a cable to the helmet and hold the batteries in a seperate pouch with an on/off button/switch.
