How to Stop a Snowmobile Helmet Shield from Fogging

Most snowmobiling accidents occur as a result of intoxication and reckless driving, but accidents can also easily happen due to a foggy snowmobile helmet shield. If you drive a snowmobile, you have probably experienced the blinding fog that suddenly appears on the inside of your helmet shield, usually due to poor ventilation which occurs when your own breath and body heat cannot escape the helmet. A foggy snowmobile helmet shield leads to limited visibility and a very dangerous situation. By making a few simple considerations, you can easily prevent annoying fog on your helmet shield.

      Choose a snowmobile helmet with adequate ventilation. Make sure the helmet fits properly on your head, without restricting air circulation through the ventilation holes.

    • 3

      Purchase an electric snow shield at your local sporting goods store.
