*Most helmets have an optional breath deflector (breather; breath guard; breath box) that you can purchase. This is especially true if a model is made in both motorcycle and snowmobile versions. A breath guard concentrates your exhaled air and sends it out the vents more efficiently than when you just breath directly on your shield. Once you wear it a couple times you don't really notice it any more than you do your nose.

:*Testimonial: I live in a hot, humid area, and I used to ride with my shield cracked all the time. Since installing a breath guard I can ride with the shield in its correct position all the time (except for having it up at stoplights). This makes my eyes less susceptible to drying out and also cuts down on noise and bug entry. A more subtle advantage is not having to clean the inside of the shield as often. | :*Testimonial: I live in a hot, humid area, and I used to ride with my shield cracked all the time.
