I just returned from a 2 day ride which ended in a lot of night rain. I could not keep the rain from obstructing the view and it became quite unsafe to ride. I had to take side roads instead of the super slab and even then I had to strain through the top of the visor with it partially open so that I could see "something" ahead.
A couple of questions that I'd sure appreciate some advice:
1) Which helmets provide the best ventilation? I've owned a few helmets – I spending around $200, my latest one being a last year model Scorpion. Despite the claims around anti-fog lenses, I've never had one that is completely non-fog. I'm not interested in anti-fog sprays since often you're riding and it unexpectedly rains or rains hard and there's not the time to prep. (If I was expecting rain, I'd be off the road!)
I'm convinced that a better solution is to pick the best ventilated helmet with a decent anti-fog lens to do the trick.
2) I think another big difference, which I don't do, would be a good rain repellant that would shed off the rain. I've read in other internet forums that Rain-X damages most visors.
Also, I'm cleaning my visor most every other day, during the summer the fly season, so it would be good to have some kind of safe wax product that you could apply monthly or weekly.
Any experience(s) you want to share? I’d appreciate it.
