Hi Im havin a problem with the rain, like most of us, but when I am riding along and the rain is hitting my visor I can see a thing!!! Is there some sort of wipe or something that can help me. And yes I have already looked on the internet for it but couldnt workout how I could have worded it.

I am new to biking, so dont know much about anyting really, apart from the rules of the road!

Please can you help me!!!

Cheers

Maybe the "New Bikers" or the "General Bike Chat" section would be better for this thread.

Anyways, use the index finger of your left hand to give your visor a wipe.

Get to 60+, turn head to left then right to disperse rain! rinse and repeat.

Could also try a thin coat of silicone spray, works a treat.

At lower speeds just lift it halfway.

Any half decent winter glove have a visor wipe built into the thumb area. It's a little rubber strip like those that window cleaners use.

Works great on everything except freezing fog, and snow.

I wear glasses, and I don't use any rain away product, I just man up like the 100% British beef that I am. Very Happy

Found a use for those anti snoring clips they sell in poundland, stick it on the bottom edge of your visor and it helps with it fogging up.

OT.
Sometimes find myself driving a car with the wipers off.

On the bike I do the head to the side thing or a quick smutty finger wipe....Mmmm Finger wipe. Drooling

Roll up a bit of microfibre cloth and use a rubber band to attach it to your finger.

1, Crack the visor slightly at low speeds to avoid fog.
2. Wipe with left index finger when required.
3. Head side to side when at high speed.

Consider trying out contacts instead of glasses (I'd recommend Daysoft) . Glasses are a complete PITA in wet/cold/windy/shitty conditions.

I have these gloves https://www.spadaclothing.co.uk/productdetail.php?subcat=26&cat=4&product=563&productname=Blizzard%202%20WP

They have a rubber strip that works wonders, very warm and waterproof in anything other than torrential rain. Also they can be got for about £20

Nothing works a well as a squeegie Wink

A normal thumb just leaves a smeary visor, in my experience.
