I think mine is a fog city one, its a reacolite one I think its pretty good i use it all the time saves getting caught out with a dark visor if it goes dark when your out and it saves you carrying a a clear one

Hope they're better than their 'anti fog' insterts 8O

Tried one, and (not wanting to do a 'you know who' here :wink: ) In My Opinion, they are sh1te! what a waste of my money.

Never seen or tried the anti glare one - got a new in the packet Sundowner strip (think that's what they're called) someone can have gratis if they want to try it, PM me.

Fogging wise I just clean visor inside and out with warm clean water (cold if no warm available. AGV visor already allegedly has anti fog coating.

Also use that bright pink crayon stuff you only see at shows on my glasses pricey but works brilliantly (I wear 'em under me lid). Good on shaving mirrors, windscreens all sorts and lasts for bloody ages.

worn Arai for years as well as other brands and the fogcity is faultless, they only fail of you fit them incorrectly, we sell and fit at least 5 a day.
i currently have the light reactive on my Shoei and is awesome, as standard they have a slight yellow tint, depending on the strenght of teh sun they can go Cobalt Blue, only takes a few seconds for it to return to normal, 100% safe to use at night.
highly recommend them, they dont fit all helmets, we struggle with some of the AGV's or anyt helmet with a concave visor they will not fit.

I had one in my last helmet, it seemed to work ok but the tint I had was not as dark as I would have liked 8) .
What I did notice was that if I was travelling with the sun behind and either to the left or right of me, I used to get a double glazing effect reflection on the inside of the visor which could be a bit distracting 8O .
As for the anti fogging properties I found it fine.

Cheers

yup, i've had one on my Aria for a few years now, it's a react to light one, still mists up a bit for me, even in summer; every other helmet/anti fog i've tried does the same, but its pretty good, better than anything else i've tried like the bob heath sprays, washing up liquid etc, the tint could do with being darker as when your travelling into low sun it's not dark enough to stop the glare, good at night but i think mine is getting a bit old and beyond its best now, as i get light haze round headlights.

You're into opera too Kev? :o

I've heard of singing in the shower but Aria's on bike! :lol:

If I know I'm going to be out late or there's a chance the weather could turn, I carry a clear or legal irridium one with me, otherwise it's Dark Smoked or Mirrored for me.

But then to change visors on the AGV is a fairly simple procedure (would have to be for me :roll: before someone else says it - Tim).

I know there's a lot that aren't so easy.

Timbo,
Many apologies for to myself for fitting my insert incorrectly :lol: , my understanding was that there had to be a gap between the insert and the visor, for its anti fog properties to work (aka double glazing) :wink: :wink: hence the very thin adhesive on the perimiter of the insert, 1mm ish gives you that gap :).

Cheers
