Default Fighting the Rain

So i know there are a few die hards out there and I am tyring to be one and beat this colder winter/spring. The rain just doesn't seem to be slowing in the WA. How do you all beat it?

My biggest issues is water build up on the shield. I have done the Rain X thing with out much of a difference. Any other suggestions?

turn your head left and right, the wind will blow the rain off the visor.

I was just wondering if there was such a thing and I googled it and there it is:

wiper glove

I see other ones on image search that look sturdier, but the site isn't loading when I press the picture... Hmmm..

Yeah, this rain is a bummer. I bought some rain gear for light rain... Not trying to ride in anything too heavy and hydroplane.. doesn't sound fun. Also, my tires are pretty done. Have new ones in the shed in plastic still, but I want my wheels powdercoated first. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Yup this method is the best. Though in really hard rains there is only so much you can do. Also use the antifog rain x on the inside of your shield.
