Review.....ZOOKE ANTI-FOG blows....

Thanks for the review, It's just hard to beat Mother Nature :yo:

 

Yeah, I fell for Zooke several years ago, didn't work for me either. A very thin film of shampoo can help, or dishwashing fluid. A lot of the newer helmet visors are actually starting to be pretreated.

 

the one on my Schuberth works well, just my sunglassed still fog up ;-)
don't know about sheilds for other makes, sorry.

 

What is the greasy film on my computer screen? It seems only to appear on threads where destuka's new avatar appears...

 

I've heard many people swear that plain ole shaving cream works very well.

 

Palmolive dish soap has worked for me.

 

Anyone who has gone SCUBA diving will tell you that a little spittle aplied to your visor works as well as anything.
Pros: Cheap and readily available
Cons: Needs to be applied everytime you go out.

I am not suggesting that you try to hock up a lung, but a little spittle applied to a tissue and wiped on the inside of your visor should do the trick.

If you still require a commercial product I would suggest checking out your local dive shop.

Hope this helps

 

I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but it works for me. It works well enough that it's the single only product I use on my faceshields.

I clean my faceshields with the Z2O spray & then "wax" them with the Z-Wax. This is the only method I've used since July 2000. It has never failed me once & I ride year round, mostly in fair weather but rain will not keep me from riding.

KC-10 FE out...

Same here, I have had very good luck with Zooke. I picked up some more at the LB show and even talked my neighbor into buying some. He was very happy when he tried it out the other night.

If you hate your Zooke so much, please send it to me!

Sometimes to find the right thing for motorcycling doesn't even involve searching at the nearest dealer or online store. Many products for whatever sport/activity you are involved in is smoke and mirrors BS concealed with marketing cons and clever advertising.

With that said, I have been using a simple, cheap ($2.00) cloth that I bought at ski/snowboard shop for defogging ski goggles. I simply fog my faceshield and wipe off the fog with that cloth and no more fogging problems. It's easy to leave in your pocket, and I really only have to wipe down my shield every other or three rides. Nuff said. I think it may have been the Smith goggles brand, but I'm not sure.

I have also read/heard that a product called Cat Crap works well too.

 

Can the Zookie lose its special zookieness over time or? from UV light? or cosmic rays or something the might explain the good/bad?

I would hate to thing that KC or MD could be wrong about something

 

I asked a guy in upstate NY how they combat the problem when they ride there Sleds in the winter?

His answer was RAINX and alcohol pads. Treat with rainx then use a alcohol pad to clear it off.

I havent tried it yet, i know alcohol is not good for some plastics though.
If anyone tries it please post up if it works for you.

 

I have too used "RainX defogger" with some acceptable results. I have also used See Drops (used for scuba masks) and had some fair results as well.

I think the key to keeping fog free is keeping airflow on the inside of the face sheild. I just open my vents on my Aria Helmet which helps.

I have come across fogging in the cold as well in the hot humid weather. Sometimes it is frustrating to get fogging in one small spot in my face shield that it just annoys the hell out of me. Don't you just hate that when that happens?
