- Mr. Malcolm either has never cycled enough to perspire and this fog up the
- inside of a helmet visor, or doesn't need corrective optics.
-
- None of these "solutions" works. RAIN-X on my glasses was an improvement over
- bare glass, but only barely. The droplets can hide a pretty big pothole
- or car before they fall off, and they tend to leave behind a trail of even
- tinier, more numerous, and more annoying droplets.
