seeing in the rain!

That might be the case if you have fatboy winter gloves, but I wear Kangaroo leather summer/race gloves (v-thin) ... its like sliding a bamboo cane in a tunnel when I put mine on my finger ... I actually have a slight V-Wipe 'rotation' problem ...

i find that water tends to roll off better if the visor's clean.

have tried Rain-X but don't really like it much. It kinda works but seems to make the water clump together more into bigger drops, which just annoys me!

sounds good!

Water on the outside I can deal with; it's when rain gets onto the inside of the visor I find it a real problem!

I think you've got your helmet on inside out.

Nikwax Visor Proof is what I use. It's very good IMO, but doesn't last as long as I'd like.

so polish would be safe to use on a visor?

i'm travelling back to the other side of the welsh border on friday, and the day is apparantly going to hold a nice 7 hours of rain for me. Wouldn't mind a good home remedy, as i wont have chance to get any products between then and now

also could do with some plastic overalls for my leathers, but if it rains i'll just have to get soaked and cold
