Summary
Fogging is something most motorcycle riders just put up with — cracking the visor, wiping it, trying to manage it on the fly. But it’s more than an annoyance; it’s a visibility problem, and visibility is safety. What many motorcycle riders don’t realize is that there are real solutions, not myths or quick roadside fixes, but tools and technologies that actually work when you plan ahead. In this episode, we look at why fogging happens, why helmets struggle with it, and what you can do to prevent it. You’ll hear from Jason Eite of VISIN about a heated visor system based on aerospace technology, and from Clinton Smout about the practical approaches riders use every day. If you ride in weather — and eventually we all do — this is one topic that can make your ride safer and far less stressful.

| 0:00.0 | Fogging is one of those things that most riders just seem to put up with. |
| 0:06.2 | You know, you crack the visor, you wipe it, you breathe differently, you pull over somewhere awkward, |
| 0:11.5 | and you tell yourself, it's just a part of riding in the rain or riding in the cold. |
| 0:16.0 | And because we deal with it so often, we forget that fogging is actually a visibility problem. |
| 0:21.9 | And a visibility problem is a safety problem. |
| 0:25.5 | What's interesting is that most riders don't realize that there are real solutions for fogging. |
| 0:30.5 | Not gimmicks, not old myths, but tools and technologies that actually work if you plan for them ahead of time. |
| 0:39.2 | And that's the key here. Fogging isn't something that you can fix on the side of the road. Once your visor is wet, the inside of your |
| 0:43.5 | glasses are all steamed up, the moment is gone. The time to prepare is before you leave. So today |

| 0:57.6 | First, I'm going to talk with a fellow from Vizen. |
| 1:00.2 | He has a heated visor system that goes on the inside of your visor. |
| 1:04.3 | It's technology that's been developed for aerospace and military applications. |
| 1:08.1 | After that, I'm going to bring in Clinton Smout to talk through some more |
| 1:11.2 | options that we have, practical day-to-day things that riders try. If you ride in weather, |
| 1:16.3 | and sooner or later, we all do, this is one of those topics that can make a huge difference. |
| 1:21.0 | Better visibility, less stress, safer riding. And it all starts with understanding the problem |
| 1:26.8 | and planning for it. |
| 1:28.6 | I'm Jim Martin. This is Adventure Rider Radio. Stay with us. We get a good one for you. |
