goggles cold weather, but not really goggles!

Birdzeyewear.com sells a skydiving goggle. Specifically the ((Wing)). Years ago they were 5.00 now 15. They weigh minus nothing so you only know they're on when you adjust them on your face. Smoke-clear-yellow, anti fog, uv, blah-bla. They keep me from tearing up when its cold. I still have to add my own no-fog. Love em.

 

Do they make any that fit over glasses. Yes tearing up is a real hassle especially when you can't see the trail well

 

Those look great I’m gonna get a pair! Are they at least somewhat scratch resistant?
Trying to decide between mirrored blue or smoke. I don’t like very dark lenses for riding. Which do u have?

 

I have been wearing contacts for 20+ years. Even in the cold cold air, never really had a problem.

Actually the only 2 times I have a lens pop out, was in the heat.

 

The ones in question are the same material as the safety glasses that are so common today. I wear them year round as basic shades and riding glasses. Scratch resistant yes but I have scratched them being careless. I have clear for night and clouds, and smoke. They are not dark. The inside goggle style padding is very minimal and glued on well, and spongy, which I like. Too close to the face for over glasses. The thin adjustable strap kind of dies after 5-or so years. Comes with a little synch sack to tote in the backpack. I have sensitive eyes and these are a wholly grail for me when it's veryish cold.

 

Thanks for the heads-up. Hadn't thought about those. I have been looking for some type of goggle to wear when riding, mostly for races. I wear hard contacts and dust just kills me.

 

I think I would fog those up in the parking lot. I would love the coverage and I need well-ventilated lenses or my eyes get red... Ha!

Do you just wear them with a half shell helmet? How compatible are they when stretched around a full face helmet?

 

Ok here's more. The strap goes on your head, not around the helmet. Helmet can go on & off without touching gogs. 1/2 helmet only for me, and when it's really cold I break out the lined ski helmet with balaclava. ((ROSSAGE)) my routine is no-fog on top of claimed anti-fog Lenz. Also slightly loose fit works for me. I am a no fog freak of nature with crazy goggle prep skilz. ((HERZALOT)) thanks. PS. This is not my company, my mug is sensitive and these work.

Edit: I see a hole now in the corner of the lens. My old ones, "no hole".

 

But all the Bros at SS will laugh at me if I wear my goggles under my helmet

Go through that website, they have at least one model that fits over glasses.

 

they have some pretty rad- looking, almost retro stuff

 

Related question: what is the anti-fog product of choice here on imtb?

 

I would love to find one that actually works longer than 20 minutes.
Well-designed, hydrophobic lenses that properly fit with good ventilation is what I use now. As I mentioned, a better solution would be appreciated.

 

I am not a google guy, but those Oriole Photochromatics would be kinda nice to have. Especially for $40.00

Scotts no fog spray works to a certain point. I'm guessing it's a windshield washer fluid mixed with dish soap "guessing ". They have a pinky finger size spray bottle I carry & refill. (now) go to wallyworld and get the ten pack of white cheesy too small for normal use washcloths 4.00. Then go to cosmetics, buy a (see through-clear) hypoallergenic bar of soap. Wrap the clean cloth around your booger picking finger, wet the tip with Scotts, rub the bar of soap, scrub lens with solution. Be careful not to over buff with clean cloth. I leave a hint of residue. Grab goggles and breath heavenly into them for test runs. Do one side only, so you can see the difference. As I age fogging is less an issue due to fair weather riding. If you try it we want reviews!

Just ordered a pair of these. Will let you know how they work.

 

Oh yeah! Tried RainX too. Used Cat Crap and several potions that they sell at the County fairs. The main thing they have in common is that they are a carrier for a wax, that is the actual anti-fog ingredient.
They seem to work ok for awhile, then the water vapour builds up into droplets, then into drops, which then drop on your face and the cycle begins again. Wiping the water off really doesn't help much either.
I am currently using Smith PivLoc Arena glasses with a coated lens and they seem to work better but by "better" I mean they delay the fogging process a little longer.
I just can't believe, in this day and age, when we can send a Tesla to space, we can't have true, anti-fog lenses.

Hey Elon! Our glasses suck! I bet you can't make some better ones!!!!

 

And they float!

 

Spit. No, really.

 

Works for dive masks. Never got it to work on sunglasses.

 

The other option is to go fast enough that the generated wind keeps the fogging at bay.

 

Speed...

 

Elon will be making a rechargeable version of this: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle...MI_dGsj7nE2QIVUlt-Ch3DngWnEAQYBSABEgJ-PfD_BwE

..with a solar panel for your helmet.

 

That's what I said...

 

I said it faster...

 

Look again....(I know what you meant)

 

No, I mean, I said it in fewer words. You did beat me to it, however.

Did I ever tell you that 150mm seat posts look long?

Never Mind.
