turbo visor

Even though that ad is from 1964, just for the heck of it, I Googled "Turbo-Visor." I'll be damned! You can buy one today for only $89.

And here is the rider's view while wearing it. Stare at it a few seconds and it will go into turbo mode.

I used to have one of those in 1967. They were ok for the rain but when in the up position were VERY prone to disappearing of your helmet never to be seen in one piece again. Not really worth 39'6p let alone $89.

My Held gloves have a built in rubber wiper on the left hand. Works excellent for clearing the shield but it still sucks when it's raining hard or all day use,read tired arm syndrome.  :giggles

In search mode for a "quality" face shield wiper. Strange, even with all my contacts in the MC world, never actually seen one first hand.

Even stranger that a top of the line helmet manufacturer would NOT market a wiper. Schubert, Arai, Shoei, Nolan,etc. Hell, I would rather be able to see than BlueTooth technology.

Check this out:



Anyone here use Rainex,Zook,polished soap,etc., on the shield to repel raindrops ?  If so, state your "likes and dislikes" please, I'm all ears.

I use rain-x on the car and it works really well, depending on the aerodynamics, often wipers aren't needed at all. Haven't done much brick  rain riding so far, so haven't been motivated to try it on the helmet visor. As I recall, the rain-x label does include some warnings about its use on platics, but it has seemed ok with my limited use of it on plastics. A test of a small spot would be in order before commiting to putting on the whole surface.
