    Well, it's like a little sleeve you stick over the finger of your glove really...

    I use Nikwax Visorproof. Costs about $25 a bottle but I find it works well. Basically it's a pump spray that you spray on the visor then wipe off. It repels the water straight off.

    Yea or better yet, wear swimming goggles underneath your helmet .. a sure fire solution

    If all else fails, an umbrella may be your best bet
    If everything seems in control, you're not going fast enough

    Visor 3/4 down
    head down to get rain on visor and protect eyes..reasonable view but comfortable
    Head up to look through gap an get clear unobstructed view when needed...Perfect view but less comfortable
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    TurtleWax Ice is great on visors.

    If your suspension and tyres are up to it, keep your speed up around 100-115k in the wet. Visor stays miraculously clear except for some pinhead-sized beads which just fizz off. Obviously if you fuck up some tight corners at this speed you are up shit creek, so watch it.

    I had to ride at that speed officer, I could'nt see anything....

    Your right though, over a certain speed & the visor is clear. Sadly on my old kwaka that was 100mph.

    Its a bad idea to get a tinted visor?

    I ma guessing it would be no good if you had to ride at night lol.

    Scrub question but just having a look at helmets atm.

    I've just started using a tinted visor for the last couple of months. Absolutely brilliant things. Like wearing sunnies all the time. Great on bright days, ok on overcast days (as good as a clear visor). I have heard that they are not suitable for night riding but how often are you going to be night riding? If not much/ none then I fully suggest getting a tinted visor.

    Good thing about helmets is that you can switch the visors very easily. Just need to plan ahead before your journey (or get one of those backpacks that has room for a second visor).

    The rain forms into solid droplets and blows off rather than smearing.

    Be careful not to scratch the visor whilst applying.
    Yup lemon scented pledge on the outside and a pinloc on the inside
