Default Skydiving Goggles For Rain?

Have you worn skydiving goggles in a heavy rain on your bike? How effective were they? Which brand/model?

Any good quality goggle will suffice for riding in foul weather not just those that you are questioning about.

I've been using these for years. I wrote a nice review of them.

I always order the glass lenses, but that's just a thing with me as I prefer the safety glass over the plastic. You can also do as I do and get a set of dark lenses also.

Well worth the price as these things will last almost forever.

I wear skydiving goggles almost exclusively. I use the flare model made by global vision. I really like them and have worn them for years. Search eBay, they run about $9/pair shipped.

You can get them smoked, clear or yellow lenses. No fogging problem in the rain. (Pun intended)
