BSA Shaun Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Does anyone use rain x on their visor or do you just rely on wiping it off? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Wipe it off. But always get a soaking glove. I've seen RainX or similar used on a car windscreen and it worked really well so I guess it should be good for helmets too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Shaun, I've tried it and have to report that it made next to no difference. The rain still beads in exactly the same way and you still end up wiping it off with your finger/thumb. I initially tried it because of fog misting up the o/s of the visor and hoped this would work - sadly no, I still have to ride round with my visor up getting fog all over my eyebrows which then drips into your eyes, (or froze the other night ). Oh the joys of winter riding P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gold735uk Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Trouble with products like Rain X is they rely on speed/wind to blow the drops off (obviously ) therefore at lower speeds they are useless, as for fogging, get an Arai, never had it when i had mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I had a pair of gloves years ago that had a rubber peice sewn in the thumb for wiping your visor, it worked a treat. Never seen them again though. I don't think I could bring myself to stick that thing on my finger. It was bad enough putting on bar muffs (CB500, NOT the Blade ). P.
