Who uses the No-Fog mask?

The Fog Evader looks to a similar set up

I wear eye glasses. Contacts don't work for me. Don't want lasik surgery.

Would really like to keep my glasses clear inside my full face helmet. Shield has never been a problem. But, with a standard balaclava, breath shoots up and fogs the glasses.

Not covering the nose & mouth has been the only solution thus far. Makes for a chilly nose at times.

I don't know about those 2 products you listed, however, I can tell you about my experience wearing glasses and riding sleds.

I use the Modular 2 helmet. Seems to work the best for me. I also used to use the Polaris AF-1 and that worked really well to, it just wasn't a modular.

I also ordered some of the Pro-vue goggles and one of the Moto-x style helmets. I may try that this year too on some not so cold days.

Go modular helmet anything else in between like no-fog mask is a bandage to the real problem which is to get breath mositure & head sweat out of your helmet to keep glasses clear. No Fog was no help to me at all & I tried everything until I bought the BRP modular helmet. Lots of mods available so buy the 1 you like best all work some better than others.

The modular helmet works very well with eye glasses. Last year was my first year with both and they worked great. It did take a bit of getting used to some of the features like the mask and vent tubes but it's all good with no fog, better vision, and warm all day.

The sizing runs small if you go looking, I think mine is like a XXL (to allow for my big head) Sfx: Rimshot
 
I wear glasses and have used a modular helmet for years and it helped but I did not solve the problem of fogging completely until I switched to a heated shield.

Now I've had different results

I always used an open face or sno-x helmet since I started riding back in 67. I've been wearing glasses even longer and started wearing a no-fog mask about 8 years ago. It has worked very well for me. Don't use a breather box just the no-fox with a lightweight balaclava. About the only time that I have had fogging issues has been my fault like when my goggles have been off and snow getting into them. I plan on getting a pair of provue goggles as I've hear great comments about them. Also the fact that I wouldn't have a pair of glasses under my goggles which will make it easier and not having to put glasses on after I got my helmet on. I will have to carry my glasses in my pocket so when we go inside to eat or what not.

I own both of them, however I don't wear glasses.

Both work very well keeping your breath away from the shield or goggles.
I prefer the fog-evader because I would need a balaclava anyways. So it's a little more comfortable. If your warm enough and don't need it then the no-fog is the way to go.
 
I wear glasses. I have the Polaris AF-1 helmet. It works great. I then decided to get a heated shield. So I bought a Z1R Phantom. Has almost the same breath box set up as the AF-1. But now tryin to sell both helmets. The AF-1 is a 2XL and needs a new shield. The Z1R is pretty much brand new. Worn for 50 miles. It's an XL. I need a 2XL. I didn't have any fogging issues with my glasses or the shield with either one.
 
Before I got the bv2s I wore an open face helmet with the no fog mask. It worked very well for me but i never tried it in a full face helmet. I don`t know why it wouldn`t though.

Had a friend who wore glasses . No Fog worked for him. Why are contacts not an option? Just curious because that would solve your problem.

I wear glasses and have used a modular helmet since it first came out. I can put t on and off with my glasses on.
The only time I fog is after a big stuck then I crack it for a very short time may be a minute.

Those eyes need oxygen;)

You should stop by the cabin on the way to Sidnaw this year and ride your old sled!

I have the same problem, glasses fogging not shield. I tried the Fog-Evader but it didn't really help. Couldn't get it to seal across nose good enough, plus when you close the helmet it flattened the snout too much to work properly. Tried not breathing but too hard to put miles on that way!:p
