I suppose it depends on what works for you. I’ve always had the fans blowing on my face because I wear glasses. They usually fog up before the lenses do. I’ve heard of several people using tiny centrifugal blowers (basically little squirrel-cage fans) to blow air up onto their lenses but I haven’t tried that myself.

Thanks for posting the video. I have one question: if I want to just keep my helmet from fogging up, should I position it so that the wind blows onto the inside of the mask or should the air blow onto my face?

It depends on your switch. There are lots of different types. If it’s the type that will mount to a surface you’ll have to make a hole and decide where you can mount it where it won’t be seen.

Hi Albert, sorry I didn’t see your post sooner. If you have a hole through the mic tip you could put a fan behind it. If not, you can cut holes in the “ears” and put mesh in there then put fans behind them. It really depends on where you need the air. I wear glasses so I usually need it to blow directly on my face. Check out squirrel fan blowers as an alternative as well. http://www.BikerScout.net could be a good resource for you too.

Hi!

I have a question for you on installing the helmet fans. I wanted to ask you what would be a great spot or place to mount a fan inside a biker scout trooper helmet?

Thanks A Lot,
Albert!
