I rode with my wife from NH to Niagara Falls 2 summers ago in the rain (600 miles). I used Harley's goggles with foam inserts. They worked great. No fogging over, very minor amount of drippage. I used a 1/2 helmet, so maximum face exposure.
BTW - my Harley rain suit worked great too! I coupled that with some waterproof boots I like for riding (Hi-TEC Brand, available in black) and some HD gloves. Everything stayed dry except my exposed face! My wife had minimal complaints too, so great set-up.
I know - too much info. So goggles - HD brand!

Will Harley goggles work over prescription glasses. I am not so much interested in rain protection since I use a 3/4 helmet and the visor, which is fitted with an antifog shield, works well. My problem was dust across the prairies and plains last year. It got behind my glasses and was a right pain. By the way, good idea about scuba stores. Will see if they have something that will work on my prescriptions

I wear goggles all the time. I wear prescription glasses and the wind bothers my eyes even with a wind shield..The best I have found are Birdeyz they fit over my glasses and fogging is at a minimum even in the rain..

I'd wear a full face or not ride in the rain. I got caught in rain last year with just my sunglass/goggles and half helmet and couldn't get off the road fast enough. They fogged up to the point I was better off without them. With my full face I can ride in the rain all day.

I have had great luck with them.
They work GREAT for dust!

Islandglide, my wife and I use the Scorpion EXO 100 helmets. They work ok in the rain. I do switch from the smoked to the clear sheild if it looks like it might rain (often in the summer) since the visibility is much better in the frog drowning thunderstorms we get!!
My Nolan N41 3/4 with a full sheild is my choice for rain and cold but it's too hot in the summer.

I've got a pair that fog up when you first put them on, but as soon as you start moving the air vents start clearing them up and then they pretty much stay clear. they're not Wiley-X, but they only cost $10. I bought clear and dark for that price.
