First time I've been caught out with early morning mist

Set out to a glorious sunrise, after 20 minutes hit a patch of mist and it just got worse and worse

Tinted non pinlock visor - because it was warm and sunny

Misted up on the outside kept wiping it but then it misted up on the inside too, so I raised it and of course my glasses then misted up rolleyes

Other than contacts and pin lock, any tips ?

At least when I got to my destination it was sunny at the top biggrin

mist is a right pain in the arse, about to head out in 20 mins and it is still misty, will use a pinlock and don't have glasses for distance so will be marginally easier, will just have to wipe the outside of the visor every 30 seconds :/

Ride as fast as you can so the windblast clears the droplets off your visor...

I ended up sub 30 as I just couldn't see, visibility sub 30m excluding glasses / visor mist, I even pulled over to let a car past !

Keep visor clean as you can, and turning your head 90 degrees each way helps the wind blast (Venturi) effect.
