I managed to steam 50% of mine up the other day. Twas very foggy out
and I suspect that added to the condensation effect of sitting at
traffic lights with the visor down.

I have been rather impressed with mine, although both (original and
replacement) have de-laminated (less than a week a piece). The
original steamed up badly when that happened. The new one seems much
better. I have managed to *just* get some faint mistiness on the
inside in very dank conditions, but other than that it's been clear.
Not ridden in actual fog yet thouch.

Even if it did steam up a bit more, I'd still be well happy with it.
Wearing sunglasses is a bit of a PITA, so I'll be looking for a decent
tinted visor come the 'summer'

I have sat at lights with it down, in fact it has taken me a while to get
out of the habit of not lifting the visor.

Must be your gurly breath.
