I recently got caught in a very heavy and cold rainstorm-visor went into serious fog mode along with the glasses I have to wear-raised visor in the hope it and glasses would clear with no luck-I was riding virtually blind but managed to pull onto the shoulder safely.
Anyone got any clues on how to avoid a repeat?

Contact lenses.

I had to get glasses for driving when I got my first licence. The first time I rode a bike in the wet I got off and went to an optician and got contact lenses. If you get water drops on glasses how do you deal with it? You can't. And bugger all that bending frames trying to get them on and off and all the other foureyed malarkey that goes with it. They aren't necessarily any more expensive than glasses these days either. Then if you get caught out at least you can open your visor a bit and carry on or open it all the way and slow down a bit.

I have a Pinlock on my every day tinted visor. My mid-winter and night time clear visor has a FogCity insert on it. Apart from the fact I installed it upside down because I am a twat it has been perfect. I rate them over Pinlocks actually, the bead on those is a pain in the arse.

Or don't ditch it and get one of these:

Easily the best stick-on pinlock option I've tried, made from a much heavier plastic than the others and a bit more expensive as a result, but way easier to handle and the finished product so far is as good as the 'pinned' version on my other helmet.

Of course it pays to plan the installation carefully; and make sure you check the sizing for your visor, mine fits but catches on the rubber gasket meant to seal the helmet when closed which I've had to trim (don't think it did much anyway), so I probably should have bought the smaller version.

Re planning instalation get some masking tape of the narrow variety. 1/2 inch?
Close your visor. Put some on on the outside of visor masking along the inside of the gasket seal your helmet makes top and bottom.
Now when you take the visor off as long as you stay between the lines your visor will open and close cleanly.
If you do need to go over the tape, try and keep it equal.

I cant do contacts Berries due to a weird optic nerve that gives me double vision and requires LH lens to have a prism built into it to correct which cant be done with contacts-My other option is to ride with one eye closed but that gets a bit wearying after a while.

What about a prescription visor? That would be cool.

having had the same problem for years made worse by having to wear glasses other than a pinlock the only thing that worked for me on offroadgoggles and glasses is : defog it : clothes fantastic , no smearing [dry] get them online not cheap but they work

[Black Knight]

Geez Berries,imagine the cost,my existing lenses broke me-would look cool though as you say.--Thanks for the heads up Bobjac,have tried similar stuff from local sources and it is crap-will try for Defog It ex USA.

Can you elaborate a little please?
Both the doctor and the optician I have seen seemed a lot skeptical when I said I appear to be having double vision when looking at things with my right eye closed.
Or that sometimes it feels like I am getting more signal from my left but less focus.
