FogThief Helmet Anti-Fog Device Review

Product Rating:

Features:

From Funprojex.com, "The FOGTHIEF™ is a proven light weight concept for the prevention of fogging in all sports helmets including motorcycle helmet visors, eyeglasses and sunglasses worn inside the helmet. The warm breath from your mouth and nose is directed downwards to beneath the chin area. While breathing normally through your mouth the FOGTHIEF™ will direct this heated breath safely below your chin and out below your helmet therefore averting the fogging up problem. While stationary at traffic situations or in slow moving traffic the FOGTHIEF™ keeps the shield and glasses clear of fog and moisture."

Features:

From Outdoor Research, "There is simply no other ski touring pant like this. When you are breaking trail to your favorite powder stash, the waterproof lower legs will keep you dry, while the highly breathable upper fabric will let moisture easily escape. When the exertion level really kicks up, thigh vents allow you to dump hot air. And with additional guide-requested features including integrated ski gaiters and a beacon pocket, the TrailBreaker Pants™ are built for serious backcountry exploration."
