Default waterproof goggles....

Leaving for 6 day trip to south texas this thur. Forecasting rain on at least 2 of those days. I'm looking for arecommendation on a good set of riding goggles that will not let water into my eyes. Texas is a no helmet stateso we have no plans of wearing any. (no lectures please).
I've even considered some kind of snow goggles. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I like my Wiley-X wrap around.

BTW actually we do have a Helmet law here. Supposed to have a sticker from DPS that cost like $5.00. Supposed to send them proof of Health Insurance or MSF course to get one. I don't actually know anyone with the sticker and have never been pulled over for not wearing my helmet.

I have the sticker but you don't have to have it. With the sticker they wont ask. Without, you may be asked to prove health coverage or safety course.

All I can say is no matter what goggles you are wearing...it's gonna hurt!

SC here. A no helmet state and I ride without one so no lecture. That said I used to wear goggles, then sunglasses, 3/4 helmets etc. Only thing I've ever found that works is a full coverage helmet. When I travel distances I take one. Even in a monsoon I can see to ride.
