Default Awesome Rain Goggles

I don't know how many have been looking for good rain goggles. I know a full face helmet fixes the problem, but I HATE full face helmets. I like my carbon fiber little one. Anyways, for those of you who have been looking for some great rain goggles that will not let rain drip into your eyes I have it. I don't take credit for this idea, a follow crew member posted the idea on a previous thread I started a while back about rain goggles.

It was suggested I look at the swim goggles at local store. I bought a pair for $14.95 and put them in the bags on the bike. Well, today I got the chance to use them. I had also bought some Rainx anti-fog which I applied to the inside of the rain goggles just before putting them on to help with the fogging. They worked great. As for rain goggles, they have worked the best out of the countless others I have tried. Here is a pic of them.


I edited this post because I offended some people by mentioning the store I bought my goggles. I never meant to offend. I just wanted to inform. For the people I offended, please except my apology. As for the store, if you want to know just send me a PM.

Thanks,
Murph

I've always liked Bugz clear goggles. Double walled with side vents help prevent fogging. Kind of pricey but work great.

Great idea Murph. Never thought of those, and as a diver, I should be ashamed. That type of mask can be found at any chain discount store, or swimming pool supply store.

Yeh, it's cheap and actually works. I have used the same thinking in the diving community.

What a great idea for the rain. It is okay in the rain until water gets on the back side of the shades.
