 |
|
I've had three different helmets and have not found one that fits me perfect. Always fogging up. I was wondering what size and make does owrstrich wear I think his head might be closer to mine. Do you have a problem with fogging?

i have tried on lotts o helmets... they all fit differently... the one that fits best in the store is the scorprion exo1000 in xxl... i dont have one... yet... but it fits the best... in the store anyway...
the one i have in iowa is the kbc ffr in xxl... it fits good and feels good... it has a regular visor and will fog unless i have the visor cracked...
the one i have on the west coast is the hjc symax in xxl... it fists good and feels good but had a tendency to ride low on the forehead which is good riding into the sun but sucks for mountain twisties... it has a snow visor which is a double lens... it has never fogged because of the combination of the double lens and lotts o air flow inside the the visor...

I could be wrong, size is not the problem. I had a schuberth concepth that fogged in a heart beat, bought a C3 with pin lock and that cured 90 percent of the problem. Helmets are a very personal thing and you have to go with what works for you. Lots of reading and reserch should solve that.

Thank you. I'm using a XL I guess I need to try a XXL
I think my nose is to close to the lens I can't close it without fogging any time of the year I have to leave it cracked open, and it gets kinda cold in the winter time.

I have found that on the LT the more air you can have hit the helmet so it can "self ventilate" the better it is for not fogging. Even with fully lowered screen sometimes I have to leave the visor open a crack for even more airflow.
I am also using the HJC Symax

Wow, I'm surprised that J.O. could get that gourd into any sized helmet.
