Right that's the gloves and jeans sorted, can you please hurry up and show us how to make a new helmet.
I have some sellotape and egg boxes kicking about so I am good to go, just need the instructions.



Oh and make sure it has a internal sun visor, many thanks.

At the risk of taking this thread seriously....I have little fleece 'rings' that go over my finger (left hand!) that I use to wipe any grime if it's damp.

Nikax Visor Proof.

It's about the best thing I've used, but even then will stop working after a while in heavy rain and really needs daily re-application.

@peteO. ^^ This. I leave a bottle under my seat with a microfibre cloth. Quick squirt if it's wet outside and away you go.

I'm also trialling some car wax that I've got knocking about, but it's not really been wet enough to establish whether it's any better/resilient.

I bought one of these

Fleegle just laughed at me

By the time I got to work it wasnt on my finger


The Verdict : Just use your glove
I have an elastic band that holds mine in place. I wouldn't be without my V-Wipe.
