This year how ever my lid is a bit better than the P.O.S. I had last year, coupled with the magic stick stuff they sell at the bike show I no longer have any misting problems.
I do still have the gunk and glare problem though, people sat on the brake lights filling my visor with red glare does not for safe filtering make. Just wondered what anti-gunk&glare tactics you guys use, Ive got a flannel in my pocket to wipe the visor at a stationary point but in all honesty I rarely stop on the route home its all stop start traffic so I mainly switch between lane riding and filtering so the flannel is pretty useless + when I do use it whilst on the move it tends to smear making the glare even worse. Willing to trail any suggestions as I had to choose to ride with the visor up for a period last night an managed to get some nasty salt in the mush for my troubles. |

Run a road legal tint or a tinted pinlock

I've found the tint doesn't cure it but takes the edge off it.
It like wearing lightly tinted sunglasses TBH

I've got the pinlock tabs my clear visor so it might be worth a shot.
Are pinlock inserts specific to your helmet or are they generic? |
