rain in the eyes

[rowan 46]

I have a giro atmos which I wear and if its raining wear a cap under it. In a light downpour the peak of the cap keeps the water out of my eyes but in a big downpour I sometimes get rain in my eyes. leaving me blinded for a couple of seconds. what do you use to keep rain out of your eyes?

I wear glasses, but if it's a hard enough of a downpour they still get so covered with water that I have to take them off in order to see.

A peaked cap pulled well down, cycle more slowly and glasses treated with Nikwax Visor Proof which makes the glasses shed the rain that hits them.

Glasses and if I remember then something with a peak like my helmet do wonders.

You must stay in an awful lot - especially in Wales.

In heavy rain I wear to pair of clear industrial safety glasses. They are impact resistant and rap around so they don't come flying off when looking over my shoulder. Being safety equipment they're zero rated for VAT.

Ditto - they are cheap as chips in B&Q (i.e. less than £5) and do exactly the same job as the too-cool-for-school branded ones in the LBS that cost the Earth!

I wear glasses whenever I ride.

Summertime I use polarising sunglasses & wintertime I use Bollé Contour safety specs.
