^ Don't breathe?

jk, one thing you could do though, is make a two layer visor,
that way there would be a layer of air/insulation between the
cold outside, and the warm inside.

Did you do a straight up one-way mirror tint?

I'm doing that for my drop soon :].

The visor fogs up mainly because of the temperature difference between both sides of the visor, warm inside cause of body heat and cool outside cause of weather, wind chill. This will make the temp of the visor lower than the air temp in the helmet so the humidity in the air will condense on the visor and fog up. So with 2 Visors the inner visor will have the same temp on both sides and not fog up, since both sides are inside the helmet. Why the inside of the outer visor doesnt fog up I dont know but it works really well with my ski goggles.)

Hope this helps.
so....does that mean i could avoid fogging by drilling a few little holes in my visor or cutting a small slit to allow air circulation?

Totally unbelievable, I went to my local hardware store today to see if they had polycarbonate of any kind. Between the four different employees I asked, not one of them even had the slightest clue as to what polycarbonate even was. I guess I'll have to go to a store that sells sheets of different plastic and whatnot.

If i leave a little gap in the visor, would this reduce fogging?

I saw a visor on my friend's Charly that never got blurred,you could breath on it as much as you wanted,never got blurred.

Is there anything special on this visor? I tried to apply an anti-blur spray,but it didn't make any effect.

Every brand has different widths between their holes. You can't just measure yours with a tapemeasure?

I guess that would make sense, I suppose I could just mock it up with cardboard to get the length. Thanks
