    Modular 2 Helmet

    I have a Modular 2 helmet and I'm having issues with my glasses fogging up when wearing the helmet. Does anyone have any ideas to prevent this? I've tried to put antifogger on my glasses but it doesn't help.

    I have new Modular 2 also with glasses. I upgraded from the original mod version before last season. I rarely have fogging with either helmet. Fogging comes from your breath or body heat coming from your head and face. Make sure you are not over dressed making you overheat and sweat. Make sure the rubber mask piece is tight so there is no leaking around your mouth. Pull the little straps while you are wearing it to cinch it tight. Leave the visor cracked slightly whenever possible. I leave mine craked open most of the time unless we are moving fast on a long grade. Control your breathing if necessary. Unless you are doing a lot of physical riding, your should not have a fogging problem with that helmet.

    Do you wear anything under your helmet? I usually wear a blavacava. I haven't tried it without the blavacava.

    Yes I usually wear a balclava with the Modular helmet. But the rubber mask piece will not seal properly if its over any part of the balclava cloth. So pull the balclava down in the front so the mask is against your face only.

    Ditto: The breath box needs to seal against your skin only, especially up on the bridge of your shnoz. I also wear a balaclava, I just make sure it's pulled down under my chin. You might have to get a different balaclava with a big face hole to make it work right. You'll need room for your glasses to fit inside the balaclava too. Otherwise, everything else is heat related from your face and neck. I like to wear a turtle neck, and pull the collar up over the balaclava. This sure helps hold the heat/moisture out of the helmet.

    Hmm, well then you have an air leak somewhere, or, some other tips to try:
    When you put your helmet on, leave the front up as long as possible
    Put your breath box on snug before you put your glasses on.
    Let your breath box dangle on one snap so the moisture can drain out of it whenever possible.
    Open your shield when you get the opportunity, stops, crossings, slow times.etc...
    Keep any and all snow or other moisture out of your helmet when not in use.
    Open up the helmet to dry during stops.
    It should work if you follow all these guidelines, UNLESS, your breathbox isn't the right size for you. Maybe you need a smaller or bigger one??
