Face Sheild Wiper
With summer rains on their way (Especially here in Florida, where you have to be high on glue to ride in one of our notorious afternoon thunder storms) here is a neat DIY for adding a wiper blade to your riding gloves to help shed off some of that precipitation.
Inspired by a feature on Snowboard Gloves, this is a pretty simple DIY for any rider that commonly finds themselves in rainy weather.

Great idea. I snowboard a LOT in the winter and I love my gloves because of the little wipers. I don’t plan on seeing much rain on my bike but it does happen…and will happen sooner or later.
I always keep a jacket under the rear seat cowl (It’s an IZOD jacket that folds into its own pocket)…they are cheap and keep you DRY!! Pants I don’t carry with me unless I have a pack on my back and I going a long distance where the weather could be iffy.
Also Rain X might seem like a great idea…however it will begin to eat away at you shield. Not sure if there is a safe one to use on helmet shields?!
