Default RE: eye protection

I have something just like sunglasses but with almost clear lenses - just a slight yellow tint. These are almost like a goggle - they fit close to my face and do a great job keeping rain out of my eyes.

I bought these for eye protection at night or when raining. Look around at places selling cheap $10 sunglasses and you might find something similiar.

I got caught in an absolute down pour a year ago. I was wearing my Panoptix and they fogged up within a couple of miles. I stopped at a convenience store and found a cheap pair of yellow tint glasses that did the trick.

Prescription glasses and I wear a full face helmet when I feel I might get caught in the rain.

I always have glasses and goggles with me, so if I happen to get stuck in it I usually throw on the goggles. If I'm taking a longer trip and there is any chance it might rain, I throw the full face helmet in the tourpak, along with the rain gear.
