OK, I need some suggestions on equipment for riding in the rain...
Today I went for a ride with a couple of guys. We took a nice twisty road about 80 miles north of our location, and when we got to the turn around spot it started to rain. We hid at the gas station for about an hour, but the rain didn't seem to let off. So, we decided to go further up to get on a main interstate to get back home. That was deffinitelly a god idea, as the interstate is mostly straight and has a decent speed limit.
Problem I ran into was that the water on the visor wouldn't bead up and roll off very good. After a while visor started to fog up too. So, here I am, in a pretty hard rain, with visor fogged up and water just sitting on the visor. I cracked it open a bit and ducked, so it wouldn't get closed by wind. That took care of the fog for a little while, but it got my eye-glasses wet. Then I was screwed. No matter how clear the visor was, I still had beads of water on my glasses.
My question: what products do you use to keep water rolling off and against fog?
I used the Plexus on the outside of the helmet, and Scott USA Anti-Fog Cleaner on the inside. As I sated above, it didn't work very good :dunno
