This may sound a little silly, but how do you keep your helmet (& glasses if you wear them) from fogging up when its cool outside. I was trying to do some repairs yesterday, it was about 45-50 degrees in the shop, and every time I put my helmet down it would fog up on the first breath. It got to the point that I would take a deep breath, put the helmet down, weld until I had to exhale, put the helmet up until it cleared, and repeat the process. Not a very efficient approach, plus the welds look like cr*p from all the starting & stopping the bead. I have enough problems making decent welds when I can see what I'm doing...Has anybody had any success with this anti-fog stuff they sell that's supposed to keep car windows clear? Anybody know of a helmet with vents and/or a shield to keep your breath away from the lens (I've thought about trying to fabricate something like that)? I know part of the problem is I have a relatively short neck, and all the new helmets sit on my chest when they're down far enough to see out of, effectively cutting off one possible air path. However, yesterday I was having the same problem even when I was looking up. I've thought about cutting the bottom off of the helmet to get a little better circulation & wearing a buttoned up collar to keep from burning my neck. Any ideas? I'm not adverse to buying a (reasonably priced) new helmet if there's one out there that solves the problem. I have several cheapies so replacing them wouldn't be a big loss. Thanks, Keith
