How do they see when its raining?
dont think they have time to wipe it when they are driving

Wipers?

I thought they had the tear-off strips, but I guess each one strip must be coated with something else you'd get through hundreds of them!

Generally I think the airflow over and round the car takes most of it away. They do have time to wipe it with the back of their gloves and you'll see them doing it from time to time. Obviously they put a form of polish on the visor to help the rain flow right off.

Any of the bikers here will know you only have to turn your head a little to one side and most of the water will run of with the airflow.

Ray_li........200+ mph and a curved visor. I very much doubt if the rain can stick.

Schumacher has had his head specially sculpted to improve visibility in the wet.
That's why he's so fast.

So.. If I keep my speed up i wont need to use my Wipers....

Is your windscreen as curved as a visor?

If so then I suspect that you wouldn't.

Ray_li

So this wont work then...

Fundamentally, it's because with a crash-helmet your eyes are very close to the visor and the droplets are so blurred you see 'through' them. Sprinkle some water on your sun glasses to prove it for yourself. It ain't perfect, but you can still see okay. Misting through breath condensing on the inside of the visor is a far worse problem. Ask any biker.
