ABSTRACT:
A breath deflector sealed across the bridge of the nose and extending forwardly therefrom, such as to the inside portion of a helmet and downwardly beyond the mouth, to prevent the fogging of glasses or the visor of the helmet. The seal of the breath deflector extends from the outside corner of one eye, across the bridge of the nose, and to the outside corner of the other eye to minimize a direct upward flow of moisture from one's breath to the area of vision in front of one's eyes. The breath deflector is resilient to form fit to the bridge of the nose even at temperatures below freezing, moisture-resistant, and insulative. A breath deflector kit includes a set of breath deflecting pieces, a plurality of stand alone skin friendly adhesive strips which are double faced with removable backs for being applied to the breath deflector in the field, and a plurality of swatches made of the same material of the pieces but formed in a different shape for being distinguishable from the breath deflecting pieces for being applied to exposed areas of the face with the adhesive strips. The breath deflector may be used with glasses, goggles, and/or helmets.
