I love commute by bike for grocery and stuff, but riding in rain is my least favorite stuff ever. Even though i have poncho, it makes me looks like a Ring Wraith on bicycle, and it’s quite fussy trying to put it on. And even i get to keep everything dry somehow, the rain drop might sometime score a direct hit on my eyeball like the car salesman slapping the car. It’s annoying, irritating, and frankly quite dangerous. My vision is blurred, so is my glasses, and it almost got me into trouble a few times.
So how do you guys protect your eye and keep your vision clear? I live in tropical area so the rain can be quite heavy at time, and i can’t wait until it stop because sometime it will go on for hours, even if it get lighter.
For me, glasses (which I wear normally) and a helmet with a visor. That usually works; if I tilt my head down, the visor normally blocks any rain while riding
What I would like is something for dealing with lens fogging in snow when I’m wearing a balaclava. Ski goggle work, but I hate wearing them.
Shaving cream on the lenses can prevent fogging. Just smear it on and wipe off with a dry cloth. Not sure if the rainx anti fog is safe for plastic lenses but it works great on my windshield.
I’ve got a tubular scarf that has a mesh grid where your mouth is. While wearing that I only get fogging while being still but on the move it’s not an issue but it still retains enough heat to stop my mustache from freezing solid. I imagined that a Buff scarf would be thin enough that this wouldn’t be an issue but it’s not.
