What kind of gloves are you using?  Heated grips don't help the back of
the hands, so a cold weather glove is in order.  First Gear has a neat new
one out I wish I'd seen before buying the Joe Rocket WetTech or whatever
they are called...

Picked up something called "Cat Crap" at the glasses place for the Mrs, it
works fine on glass lenses but haven't grown the balls to try it on a $45
Arai visor yet, but have an old one I just gotta dig out and try.  

I did try Fog Off or Fog Away once, I think it's by the Rain-X people.  I
put a little on the inside of a windscreen and it took for-freakin'-ever
to buff off so it wasn't a haze.  So never tried it on the visor.

Sorry not a lot of help,
