That's kinda cool, but does it work all that much better than a water repellent like Rain-X? And what if you want to open your visor?

Agree with Ryott.  Rain-X or Pledge furniture polish.

Um, a quick look left or right and the rain just breezes off. RainX makes it happen quicker  :thumb:

You cant invent this and not have the washer/wiper option to get rid of all the bug splats. Needs a water bottle harness ha ha.

I had an ant stuck on the inside of my visor the other day. Didn't realise how distracting it could be seeing it run from one side to the other.

Wait until you find out a spider has decided to make its home between your face and your visor. On a freeway.

Pays to check your helmet before putting it on as well.
