This is a good helmet for the snowmobile and for people with glasses the lid gives you plenty if clearance for your glasses and I never had an issue with them fogging up... But if they do there is an anti fog spray you can put on the shield.

At speed, yes. Anything below 4-5mph it'll fog up like crazy. One of the best things that happened was me losing the visor in a crash. The vents are not exactly sufficient for someone with glasses. Which is really the problem. My glasses fog up all the time in the helmet.

For the money, this has been a good helmet. It does fog up if the dew point is right, and if I breath hard while wearing it on a cold day. I have not tried a defogging agent yet. But if I flip upthe visor one click, it helps to clear the shield. That may not be the best solution though if you are following someone who's kicking up a roost. Bottom line: it will fog up. Particularly at low speeds where air flow is sluggish.

Hi there, I were glasses too and all I have to do is adjust them before I lower the the helmet visor. As for fogging up this is not the best sometimes it does but once I take off with my motorcycle it clears in no time.

I'm in the habit of cracking the visor open whenever I'm not moving forward, as it fogs up considerably at idle, as others have said. There are anti-fogging sprays out there, but I have never tried them. As for glasses, I tried it with some safety glasses that I have and they fit pretty well with both visors down, which, I have to confess, I wasn't expecting to be the case.

As long as you are going 5mph its fine, but idle it fogs up but clears pretty fast. Great helmet for the price.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

I'm really sorry I can't help you, but it was mostly clear and very cold when we were out. However, when it did snow, they worked great and comfortable.

You will still fog up. During the cooler months (now long gone here in FL), I would almost have to wipe my visor daily with eyeglass cleaning wipes. That and pop the mask up at stoplights. Minorly annoying, but I still love the helmet.

Hi,I have this helmet and i love it. I've never felt the visor obstruct my view. I don't see how it could if you are looking forward. It doesn't fall on your face.

I use for winter wear and wear glasses. As long as the glasses rest on your nose there is no fogging. Once my glasses slide over the fabric, the bottoms of the glasses fog. That said I can cover the top of the glasses with the fabric and keep the bottom part close to the bridge of the frames and there is no fogging. I have problems breathing in most ski masks, but this product is easy to breathe in and I've used in 20-degree weather and it kept my face and neck warm.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

I wear glasses sometimes and it seems to work fine. Air movement is pretty good and if you're not moving enough then I open the visor a little bit and that woks great too. Hope this helps. Pleased with it so far.

It's worked well for me. Fogs up every once is a while, but they all do. I just use goggles a lot but if I plan to get shot in the face a lot I break it out.

If it makes you look like a bubble head you probably ordered the wrong size. Mine fits great. Looks smaller than full-face helmet. I'd want a full coverage if I rode a motorcycle at highway speeds, but I ride a Suzuki 700 ATV on desert trails - usually below 25MPH, so the VCAN works well. Warm enough on cold days, and doesn't overheat me in the summer.

I do not snowboard so I do not have experience to apply. I think it may be the case that the strap is not strong enough to maintain placement on your head given the intensity I would think the sport would create. You may want to get a stronger elastic strap. The goggles are comfortable and light weight. I have not had any problem with fogging.

If it on your face correctly it won't fog up but I am not sure if it could be used for sports.

I have not had any fog issue. but i don't use this one anymore. I switch to the license plate one. Same company and I haven't any issue with it. I plan to put the one you are interested in on my other vehicle.

I used for paddle. It's fog after for around 1:30 hs. But, is minimal.Regards

Personally I don't like using this mask with my safety glasses at work because they fog A LOT!! If you're glasses fog up easily I'd recommend you buy the N-Ferno 6823 model because it has a small mesh cover over the mouth to allow the warm air that would fog up glasses, goggles, etc. To escape. It is a bit more on the flashy side because it looks a little more aggressive but I believe it would help resolve your foggy lens dilemma.

Check the website. The new helmets are dual certified. The old ones I believe are not. It is a good helmet in my opinion. I've used it for recreational biking and skate. I have a big head so it was hard to find one that would fit. They are legit, have a skate team etc.

Eh... It depends. It would be great for hiking or being on foot in cold, windy weather. This question came at a good time. I just now walked through the door from a motorcycle ride. It's 12 degrees (F) here today. Around town, the product does very well. It's comfortable an my face stays warm. Above 40mph, the wind overcomes it and my face gets cold. I really love this thing, but if you're looking at sustained high/freezing winds, you may want something a bit more substantial.
