Well, the classic solution is soap. Rub it on, buff it clear. There is a product out there called "Cat Crap" that is anti-fogging.

Surprised you have trouble with a half helmet, though. I use a full face and can eliminate fogging by cracking the visor a bit. Problem is, fogging usually occurs when I don't really want to keep the visor cracked, e.g. raining or freezing cold.

I checked the web for Cat Crap and another called C Clear. Both seem to be more or less the same thing. The instructions say to apply it every other day. That seems like a lot of bother to me. I am going to try Rain-X anti fog wipes and see how that goes.

Toothpaste works well also. Rub it in and then wash it off. Works real well on swimming goggles also.

OK, I tried the Rain-X anti fog wipes and it really didn't help. They might work in a car but not a a MC visor. I'm gonna try the toothpaste thing.

Go to a sports store, get a bottle of the stuff us hockey player use on our visors. One application usually lasts about 5 games or 500 miles.

The stuff is mint considering the sweat, humid conditions etc.

Just read your question. You might want to try a Scuba Dive shop stuff we put on our masks before diving, cannot remember the name for it. Or Try a marine store as i picked up Meguiar's Mirror Glaze professional 17 clear plastic cleaner as I use it on my windshield to clean it up. Also for boat windows a thing called Clear To See made in Florida might do the trick. Hope this helps

SCUBA divers use baby shampoo. Rub it on, wash it out. I haven't tried that on my visor, I just crack open my visor a little on my FF. Now that I'm thinking of it, I might give it a try.
Sea Gold is the SCUBA product for anti-fog, but most divers just use baby shampoo it's a lot cheaper.

JT Anti Fog works for me. I started using it first for paintball. You should be able to get it at any paintball shop, or dirtbike supply shop.
