Must admit haven't sowed a wiper blade on my glove for a year or ten (just turn my helmet sideways to the wind these days) but you are quite correct it works great :)

Something else that works a treat is a piece of chamois wrapped around the fore finger, just wipe and squeeze the finger when done.
Some spray pledge on the visor which causes the water to bead off, the head twist method work okay if it's raining hard.

Heh, is that the one that comes as part of a kit which you add to and end up with a frame around the rider?
Cool! Now I just need some air-freshener and fluffy dice.

pledge works well, the droplets form , turn your head a little to the side and they roll off real easy.

Excellent. Just the thing for when those inconsiderate car drivers (sorry; 'fucking cagers') use their window-washer jets while I'm tailgating them.

Many years ago I remember seeing a visor that had fins and rotated (no, I don't think it bolted to the riders nose) I assume the reason was to spin off the rain. Didn't catch on.

We used whirly visors a lot in karting, they spun at a great rate of knots in the wind because of the fins on the outside flicking the water off immediately.
They where fantastic behind a kart pack kicking up heaps of spray :)
BUT
In Karting we never had to turn our heads. I wouldnt like to have one on a bike and do a head check for a lane change at 100k+ thats for sure :(

I have some pairs of Held gloves. They usually have a rubber wiper blade on the ouside edge of the left index finger.

Just had a thought, just what I need for the Blokart. I usually come off the beach covered with spay and sand.
