Riding home last night at 2am ish at 15mph because of the fog and the cold I became aware my visor was icing up. The last 4 miles of a 7 mile journey were painful with the visor open.

Is there something I can spray or put on the outside of my visor to stop this.

When I got home it had a fairly thick layer of ice on it and whilst riding I couldn't scrape off. It was too solid. Ice formed all over my jeans and gloves and jacket.

When thats happening it's probably a sign that you shouldn't be riding. If ice is forming on you, you can bet it's on the roads too. Water replant spray will stop water from sticking around long enough to freeze.

Mine did it too on the way to work this morning, it was forming as quick as i could wipe. Ended up taking my goggles off, it was horrible.

Happened to me the last week before christmas, going to work at 6 am. Work is only about 4 miles away, but when I got there I had a thick layer of ice on my visor, gloves, jacket and trousers. I thought it was bad enough negotiating snow bound roads, but getting covered in ice took the piss.

On a side note, one bloke at work said I was "the bravest biker he'd ever seen" for going to work in the snow on my bike. I just told him, as long as you don't drive like a dick, keep the bike upright and lay off the brakes it's not that bad.

It's the dickheads in the cars, travelling at normal speeds and braking heavily that make it more dangerous, especially when you have a frozen visor.
