Today was the first day I had the chance to ride to work in the fog. It was an experience. You know how cars have windshield wipers? Yeah my helmet doesnt. On the stretch from Murrieta to Temecula on Jefferson Road, I ran through some particular dense fog, pretty much made it super difficult for me to see. I tried wiping my helmet faceshield with my arm, that smeared it for a second or two. I tried wiping it with my glove to the same outcome. I opened the faceshield for a few feet after freezing my eyeballs. I'm interested in what solutions other bike riders have out there.

Ha, steal one of those windshield cleaners from the gas station...you know, the sponge/squeege combo. Then use the squeege for the fog...and you can use the sponge side when you hit a bird.
Rain-X on your visor.
