Cycle lids, rain and specs wearing

[Linford]

I'm struggling with all three at the moment. What are your solutions to this issue?

Hold your breath at traffic lights..?

My glasses get a bit steamed up at lights, but I have found no solution for it yet, hopefully someone will come along with a better or more sensible solution to the problem.

I wear specs, find that the peak on the lid helps keep rain off the lenses.

Wear a cycle cap under your helmet.

I'mm using a peakless MET road lid and whilst I can mostly stop the misting with a bit of anti fog treatment I use on the motorbike visor, the rain on the lens themselves blurs everthing so much

I think I need to get a peaked lid

Wear a cycle cap under your helmet.

I could do with one of these, not least to stop my hair getting wet at the front! I have a cold weather skull cap but something lighter would be helpful!

 

[Hacienda71]

A cap will cost you less and the peak is better.

 

[Tribanite]

Rub washing up liquid into lenses until dry. Helps with fogging up. Peaked helmet or cap under helmet for the rain

I've actually got loads of baseball caps knocking around at home, so need to give this a go

You might find the baseball caps are a little bulky to fit under a helmet compared to a lightweight cycling specific cap.

You mean a disposable version of this ?

 

[steve52]

yes a bit smaller maybe, and haveing given it a second thought a plasitc chanel installed duering the hemet maufacture would make a better fixing, though i could come up with an aftermarket version for a beer or two

I was about to say we're taking about cycling suppliers here. £1.40 a go? They would think of a number that sounds expensive, multiply it by 1.83, square it then round up to the nearest £10, but I see Kask have beaten me to it.
