Rain Covered Faceshield

[FJRFlyer]

Living in Florida means that getting caught inthe rain is a given. Riding home last night the water was collecting on my faceshield so bad that the on coming headlights almost blinded me. I wear glasses so flipping the shield up just caused the same problem on my glasses. I have tried rainX but it didn't seam to work very well. Since it seems that this board knows everything else, I thought you may have some suggestions.

I just periodically put my head up into the windblast above the windshield to clear it. I've seen RainX craze some plastics, so not a fan. You could rub a fresh slice of onion on it (don't laugh, old school trick that RainX is based on), but there are side effects that wouldn't be nice on a face shield......

Would this work? https://www.aerostich.com/product.php?produ...06&cat=0&page=1

Just reach up with your left thumb and wipe it off periodically.

I use Pledge furnitutre polish to clean my shield and it seems to have the same effect as RainX, although more temporary. I have only used RainX on the car so I don't know how it would work on plastic shields.

Some riding gloves are made with a shield wiper attached to the thumb. I normally just use a regular glove or a naked finger.

I got home on the wipe it with the glove method, but the thin film of water left behind created alot of glare form on coming head lights. I might try the thumb squeegee. At 6'6 my head is always in the straem of air above the windscreen. :lol:

An aftermarket screen is in my future but deciding which one has not proven easy.

Then there is the high-speed air flow shield clearing technique. The faster you go, the better you see.
