Clearing Fog and Rain on Shield During Rain Riding...

101lifts2 · 01-28-2010, 04:57 PM

I got caught in a downpour two days ago riding home (23 miles) from work. The rain doesn't bother me at all, but how do you keep your shield from fogging up AND keep the rain off? I've tried RAINX, which kept the rain rolling off, but the thing fogged up like a beesch. Since it only rains like 2 weeks a year here, I usually just take the car if it rains in the AM.

What do you use?

Plexus on the outside of the visor, and open vents to keep it from fogging. In the mist when there's not enough water to roll off, I use one of those thumb squeegees from Aerostich.

Scorpion's don't fog.

I just crack my visor a teensy bit and keep a towel under my windscreen to grab and wipe if it gets really bad. Or just turn your head and it'll bead off to the side.

My shark doesn't fog, but if it's a light mist I just rub it with my glove, it hazes up for a second and then evaporates or beads together and falls off.

SOme people rub some soap on the inside of their shield........or you can get some anti-fog drops that scuba divers use

vents open or popped up one click and ride with your head cocked to the side. Visor up at stops

Troof, Arai = overpriced for what you get. I had an Arai mirrored visor that developed ghost-like distortions in it.
