Almost impossible. Used to happen when I had a Shoei lid, DB screen and a lowered seat that came with the bike, shame I had to change it for a slightly higher, slightly less pile-inducing one. Now have an Arai which rain just loves to stick to so need gloves with wipers.
Only just seen this comment, i'm glad you mentioned the difference between Shoei visors compared to Arai as i thought it was just me being unlucky.
My previous lid was a Shoei and water would just fall off with a tilt of the head, but i've had about 4 Arai visors now and they simply do not repel water at all.
I've tried every potion going and nothing has made things any better whatsoever, and without my Vee Wipe i would be almost riding blind, as if someone has sprayed Mr Sheen on the visor but not wiped it off.
I love the crash helmet but the visors really let them down in bad weather.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
