What should riders do to prevent fogging in face shields?

To prevent fogging in face shields, allowing air to pass through is an effective strategy. When air circulates, it helps to equalize the temperature and reduce the moisture buildup inside the shield. This airflow can be achieved through various methods, such as using vents in the helmet or adjusting the shield slightly open while riding, particularly in cooler conditions.

Using a tinted shield, keeping the shield loose, or only using the shield in warm weather may not effectively address the problem of fogging. Tinted shields can reduce visibility in low-light conditions and do not necessarily prevent fogging, while keeping the shield loose might compromise safety and protection against wind or debris. Limiting shield use to warm weather also ignores the fact that fogging can occur in a variety of conditions and is primarily related to the moisture and temperature differences between the rider’s breath and the shield's surface.
