Respro Foggy Breath Guard

Bought one. Using it in my Arai Quantum II.

So far: I TRIED to fog my visor through it while stopped in a parking lot and got only a very slight hint of fog. Very very slight. While moving, nothing.

My only complaint so far is that on the Arai it blocks the vent in the lower part of the chinbar. This means that the vent in the chin pushes all it's air straight up the visor itself, both good and bad. Good cause it means that there's almost no way that baby is fogging thanks to the additional airflow, bad in that it means a lot more airflow so those with sensitive eyes might have to adjust the vent or close it entirely.

Basically this sucker seals across your face with a metal noseclip keeping it close over the nose and back to the cheeks and that keeps your breath from getting to the visor in the first place.

For $22 at any Cycle Gear (black, I think the carbon fiber pattern one is more) it's a steal compared to wiping stuff on your visor or paying for Fog City inserts that mean you'll have to replace the entire visor later.

I'll update this as I get more miles on it, if needed, but it rocks so far. :thumbup:

When the weather gets cold here again, I will definately be getting one of those...along with heated grips.


Lucky for me the weather here is BEAUTIFUL
