Seeing in the rain
When I ride in the rain, my sunglasses (even with the clear lenses)
get covered in water, and I find that they impede my vision even more than wearing nothing (on my eyes, that is . Yet taking them off just exposes my eyes to the rain drops, which is annoying at best, and can hurt in a serious rainstorm. What's the best solution? Does anti-fog stuff like Cat Crap help the water run off? What about Rain-X, that windshield stuff? What about other, non-sunglasses solutions? A cycling cap or baseball cap with brim to shield the eyes? An invisible heat-generating force field to instantly dry the rain? TIA |

Seeing in the rain
Even worst is riding at night in the rain. I used Rain-x and the water was
changed to a thin film of water. However, the headlight from oncoming cars prismize and made seeing worst. my riding buddy mention that sometime no glasses is better. I remove my glasses for the rest of the ride. http://www.billcotton.com/71st_birthday_ride.htm -- // Bill Cotton: Latitude N40° 03.756' W75° 06.192' / / Phone 215 663-8363 Data 215 663-8364 // // // www.billcotton.com "Michael" wrote in message om...

Some sort of visor will help a lot. I would tend to go with a visor and no glasses. You'll still get the occasional drop hitting your eyes but you'll still be able to see. --Bill Davidson |

Seeing in the rain
This year has so far been WET.
I use Rain-X and a cap, under my hell-mutt, with a visor just long enough to close the gap and keep the rain off the inside of the glasses. "Michael" wrote in message om...

Also, keep in mind that vehicle drivers don't always change their wiper blades when "needed"..making it even more difficult to see a cyclist in the rain -- careful out there! Regards, Bill |
