Are products like Zooke OK to use on transition lenses?

If you have transition glasses like Panoptix, don't wear them in the rain! The thin liner on the outside of foam insert(the piece that touches your face) separates when it gets wet! Ask me how I know. ; ( I got caught in the rain with them on a couple of weeks ago and found this out. And they're not cheap to replace, about $45 for the insert! Ouch!

This is what works best for me in Florida Downpours ..

Thanks for the link Road Ranger! I bought some of this in Sturgis six years ago and could not remember the brand name. It definitely worked for me.

Not much short of wipers help with rain drops on glasses, googles, face sheilds, etc. Fogging is another thing, I've had good results with "CAT CRAP" on Rx glasses with polarized coating, and googles. Not a joke, it's an anti fog gel you put on and wipe off. http://www.campingsurvival.com/catcranlecl.html

I recently got caught in a serious downpour. I had on a set of Bobster googles and they stayed clear.

Thanks for all the advice, I knew there were products out there but was not sure if any worked. I'm usually a fair wether rider. I guess I will add one of these products to my shopping list.
