I've never have issues with water on the outside of motorcycle helmets that have had water repellant coating on them.
For me, condensation and a foggy visor (on the inside) was a major PITA as the temperatures got colder.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Fogging has definitely been a bigger problem than rain, though I've only been in strong rain maybe twice and not at highway speeds so I may lack experience.
If it's a strong rain then I would just park the bike and wait when possible. It's already difficult with a car, wouldn't want to risk it in a bike. But yeah if you are going slow in residential area then not as risky other than lack of visibility.
That seems pretty ridiculous. I never had too much of an issue with visibility in the rain, and you can already buy gloves with a built-in squeegee blade on the thumb. That said, if it were a lot cheaper it might be worth trying out.
Extremely dangerous and nulls safety protections provided by a round helmet by making a single point of pressure in the event of an accident. You should never attach anything to your helmet, not even a camera.
And no stickers! Stickers will interfere with the aerodynamics of your helmet and literally rip your head from your neck. Careful out there folks.
