Rain

Rain doesn't bother me so much now, it's the fluctuating temperatures that **** me off!
One day it's 9c next it's 22c!?

I'd like to do more of that, but the poor visibility just has be riding boringly for the most part.

Nikwax Visor Proof works for me - turns that drizzly rain that sticks to the visor into something that clumps together more readily, so a quick shoulder-check blows it off the visor. Really heavy rain washes it off, so it isn't perfect, but it's a long way in the right direction for me.

+1 on the Nikwax, that and a V wipe for when it's only that annoying mist and/or road spray. I quite enjoy riding in the rain providing it's a proper ride for fun, not so great when it's just to go to work etc as the aggro of getting kitted and then finding somewhere to put all your wet gear is just to much. Having the right tyres for the occasion also helps.....

I have some external visor stuff I used once. Wasn't impressed with it, but can't remember the brand off the top of my head. May try it again. Will look out for Nikwax too.

additionally try a yellow filter, I have a set of clipon's for my glasses in polarized yellow, but visor inserts work just as well, they brighten as well as cut light flare.

Cheers Mark.

Only you.

Well as if to prove a point, it's ****ing down just now, bike riding day, so a few hundred mile in the wet it is then.
