De fogging

[Umaro]

Hey guys so I recently got my approval and did my first troop the other day. I noticed that the lens tends to fog up a good bit, my issue is that I have very little space in the helmet for a fan, if I could even fit one at all, what fans do you guys think are best and how do you fit them in the helmet comfortably. Or is there another way to prevent fogging up.

Honestly what I do is leave a gap between the lens and visor at the very bottom on the nose. If it's done half right nobody will tell.

Anti fog spray used by motorcyclists work good in lids with little room for ventilation

This. There's not really a need for fans with those giant ear holes and the channel in the back of the helmet for air ventilation

I will see if I can adjust my visor to get a bigger gap, I have a small one already but its clearly not enough. If that doesnt help I'll look into that spray.

I don't know the size of the scout helmet, but you might want to look for snail shaped fans. In Germany there is a member who has those, "Tom's Cold air" on Facebook has photos.

I fog up in real humid weather, which is often in Louisiana. But it tends to clear up after a min, unless it's hot and rainy. Then I stay fogged. But when I do Scout Pool, the deadpool mask keeps my lens fogged to where I can't see at all if I put my visor down.

I use this, and I don't need to apply it very often - every few months depending on usage and environment.

I have reattached my lens to leave small gaps on the underside and it fogs up a lot less than it did before, however my brother in law is a diver and might have some of this. I'll see if that improves it even more thanks.

I've been using a motorcycle visor spray on both the visor and my glasses and it works a treat. Hint - do NOT let your TK friends borrow it to use - it dissolves the green coating on their visor.

 

I've put a small fan in the snout, blowing air downwards when I'm trooping in cold weather -- this way moves my breath out of the helmet rather than into the front of the helmet. In hot weather I reverse it to blow the air up over my head instead to keep me a little cooler.

You can also just use spit on the inside of the visor. Something that the divers uses as well.

 

Just spit inside the visor, spread it over it, and let it dry. Works, and cheaper that anything else. Also works on TKs.

 

Edit; also, try to breath though your nose. If you breath from mouth, the moisture from your mouth hits the bucket.
