Default Eyewear for riding in the rain?

What do you wear for eyewear in the rain. My couple of glasses fog up in moderate rain. I've tried anti fog stuff but they still do.
Do goggles fog up?
Suggestions?

Goggles are usually not as bad at fogging. Scuba divers spit and wash the insides of their masks with the water they'll be in, probably to bring the temp of the goggles to that of the water. Might be worth a try using the rain water.

SPY eye wear do a really good job of not fogging, but if it is a nasty rain then not much helps.

I suggest a full face helmet with a pinlock face shield . I call mine my "rain hat".

Goggles are great in the rain and on long rides with strong winds. I got these from this company for $6 and they're great. Interchangeable lenses and very lightweight. Got little vents that help with fogging. If you get them get the ones with the foam, they're a little more comfortable.

I'll second the full face with pin lock shield, no stinging rain, and they don't fog, hot or cold...

Face shield on my helmet! Best eyewear ever, in any weather.

Snowmobile goggles have double lens and do a good job of not fogging.....

I wear a 3/4 helmet with a clear face shield in the rain. Never fogs up and keeps the sting off your face..
Droplets on the shield blow right off the faster you go.
