Here is a link to some good anti fog. I have used it for paintball mask and it really works good.

I have the panoptx Raptor/ They have been great so far. I have rode with them in the rain and in about 45 degree weather, no signs of fogging at all and have never used the lanyard. The have stayed glued to my face so far. So no complaints here. By the way I paid 195.00 US Dollars for them. So far so good though.

One other note about the panoptx. The inner lense has been coated with an anti-fogging agent. It says to never wipe the inside lense when wet. Allow it to dry first and the wipe it with the included cloth. I hope that helps.

I wear a small clear faceshield about 2-3 inches tall on my half helmet. May be a little geeky looking, but I like the protection. Using this combo I wear normal glasses at night and Oakley sunglasses by day. When I hide without my helmet shield, I have a pair of Wiley-X SG-1's that I love.

I am in Michigan where helmets are required.

I have the wileyX SG-1 glasses and i find that the lenses do not get dark enough during the day. They are great as far as air getting in, but very bright sunny days can be tough. Does anyone else notice this?

I have Rx SG-1's with 2 sets of lenses. One very dark, and one clear. My optician warned me that the transitions version would not get dark enough in bright sun.

G'day,
Try the web site for "blu eyes", (I think it is www.blueye.com.au), wait till you try these !!!! Ya se the rubber frames is flexable so they seal completely and no wind gets in, the lens are easily swaped for night time clear lenses and as they have no foam it won't rot like the panoptic,
(what a waste of money that was). I've tried wileys but they don't really seal perfect. In fact tried everything and blu eyes are so radically different. They make 'em for surfing and other wild sports. I would recoment the "Mr. Big" version unless you have a small face, the smaller
"hyway" model is a bit too small for me. made in Australia also, NOT china !!! And the rubber frames will last forever.


Graham.
