Helmets and glasses

[ChevronB19]

At the point now where glasses are an essential for racing (and normal driving).

However, no matter what I try, I cannot stop them steaming up, which is having a serious effect on lap times!

I’ve tried rain-x anti fog etc., but it doesn’t work (I race historic saloons and closed roof sportscars, and it gets *very* hot inside). For my own perceived safety reasons, I don’t want to use an open face helmet, and yes, I do have the visor fully open.

Any tips?

When I wore glasses with a full face helmet I found keeping my mouth and nose covered with a balaclava did the trick. Alternatively, have you considered contact lens?

Yep, tried alternative balaclava methods, which we have to wear anyway (including once, while in a rush in assembly, accidentally putting it on the wrong way round, and doing a proper double take moment in front of a very pretty female marshal) - if anything it is worse with nose covered! I only need glasses for driving and tv, so am sort of reluctant to try contacts. Years ago, when my uncle was racing, he had a little aerosol spray that came in a blue tin - I know that worked, but can’t track it down - assume it’s been banned because of ozone etc…
