It's the first helmet I've owned with a chin skirt. On the plus side, it is awesome have a warm nose @ 70 mph in 30° F. Luxurious! Unfortunately, my breath fogs up the eyeglasses.
Yes, I can crack the visor or remove the chin skirt, but I wonder if there is another solution. Also, the visor itself has an insert which works well - I just need to figure out the eyeglasses. Anti-fog? Laser surgery? Take the cage?! Help VR, you're my only hope!

I've got a Scorpion 700 helmet with a chin skirt. I end up cracking the visor at intersections and then when I start moving again close the visor. There is just enough forced air flow under the chin skirt that it keeps glasses / visor condensation free. At times when that is not quite enough, I end up forcing myself to exhale down my chin rather than straight out at the helmet.

Yeah, with vents open and a shallow breath, I can keep the glasses clear at 60+. Slow down any and it's back to blind-man-riding.

I disagree on a breath box. The result for me was strictly opposite. The breath box hijacks the air flow from the vents and the visor starts to fog up. Also, my exhale leaks right into my glasses. After 15 min I've ripped the bloody thing out! My solution was to use the heated snowmobile visor, I'm extremely happy with it. Oh, my helmet is HJC IS-16.

All my time playing hockey, lots of the guy's that wore shields would use a drop of "Sunlight " dish soap to prevent fogging.
Had to be "Sunlight" as other brands didn't work as well. Smear it around and wipe off the excess with a towel. Do not wash it off, wipe it off, as if you were waxing it.
