What should you do if your visor gets foggy?

When your visor gets foggy, opening it slightly to allow airflow or using anti-fog treatments is the best approach to enhance visibility and maintain safety while riding. Fogging occurs when warm, moist air from your breath comes in contact with the cooler visor, reducing visibility significantly. By cracking open the visor, you create a flow of air that can help equalize the temperature and remove moisture, thereby reducing or eliminating the fog.

Anti-fog treatments, such as sprays or wipes specifically designed for this purpose, can help prevent fog from forming in the first place by creating a barrier on the lens surface. This ensures that your vision remains clear which is vital for safe maneuvering on the road.

Other options can lead to compromised safety. Ignoring the fog can lead to obscured vision, which is dangerous. Keeping the visor fully closed provides protection from environmental factors but compromises visibility if foggy. Wiping the visor with your sleeve could lead to scratches, smudges, or even transferring moisture back onto the visor, potentially worsening the fogging or obstructing your view further.
