It's a lens coating that's supposed to cause water to bead up rather than fog. . .
RE: RX glasses- - - -I have a rather severe prescription that is outside the range that many of the bike glasses OEMs will work with but there is a company in Colorado, however, that custom cuts lenses for a range of frames- - Rudys, Oakley etc. . . they've made several pairs of RX Rudy's for me. . .Talk to Bret at SportsOptical.com
I don't wear contacts (tried them and hated them) so have to wear regular RX glasses for everything- - -and I really hate riding with "regular" glasses because of the wind (and rain) that get behind the lenses. . .RX wraparounds are the ticket. I have clear ones for night/dark commuting and polarized sunglasses for sunny rides. . .
h.bicycletus, which model of Rudy did you get? are they just styling or certain model is better suited for biking?
Thanks,
