Do full face motorcycle helmets fog one's glasses?

Question

I have been wearing an open faced helmet for quite some time but I recently turned my bike into a bobber and removed the windshield. I realized today that that is not a good idea in Washington state weather and I need a full faced helmet.

But I ran out of contacts so I have to wear my glasses.

Answer 1

A  full face helmet have good ventilation systems that keep plenty of air to enter the helmet.  I wear glasses when I ride and I use a full face helmet, I've never had any fogging issues.  I have not ridden much in the rain, but you can always keep the visor of the helmet slightly open to get more air movement.

Answer 2

Most newer helmets are vented well enough that they shouldn't fog your glasses.

Answer 3

California:  no.  Your state may be different.  There's no humidity in California.

Answer 4

Even with good ventilation your glasses will fog up.  On cold mornings I keep my visor cracked open and that works but then my eyes start to water up and I have to close the visor, its annoying as h**l.  I put some anti-fog on my glasses and visor and that works great.

Answer 5

No, most of the newer full face helmets do have vent and will not fog up your glasses.

Answer 6

Mine fog badly esp in cold or wet. I hate it but havent found a solution except leave the face shield open about 1/4 inch. Those weeny holes provided by Shoei do nothing except make noise.

Answer 7

Not if you crack the bottom of the visor a little bit open or depending on the vents built into the helmet.
