Today is a perfect time to contemplate
the fact that the automotive technology continually trickles over to motorcycling. Just a few examples would be EFI, ABS brakes, and traction control. Well, now we can add yet another piece of tech to the bunch as I have heard that the UK firm, Rainpal, wants to fit your motorcycle helmet with a windshield wiper. The RainPal Helmet windshield is designed to provide you with clear view on drizzly or rainy rides with its electric wiper arm.
It's actually a slick little contraption that's designed to fit pretty much any motorcycle visor. Measuring in a about 1/2" wide and 1/2" tall and extremely lightweight, the Rainpal is flexible so that it will fit the curvature of any helmet/visor combination.
My thought is... Does your motorcycle need a windshield wiper? Of course not. If fact, the more I think about having a tiny little wiper blade swishing back and forth mere inches from my eyes makes me wonder. Motorcycle riders have done without windshield wipers for over 100 years. I'll still just wipe my helmet shield when absolutely necessary with my glove.
Riding days like this is not a favorite but as long as I keep moving I am actually hardly wet.
