These types of storms don't usually last that long that I couldn't just wait it out somewhere.
And the OP calls them "goggles." Are these just glasses? Goggles to me are enclosed and meant for extremely cold conditions or snow sports. Glasses on the other hand would help keep rain out of your eyes. Yes they'd get drops of water on them, but those can usually be seen through/seen past well enough.
Since he took a bee to the eye, the OP might really mean goggles. I wear ski goggles when it's really cold or with the harder varieties of frozen precipitation but they've got some features to prevent fogging like ventilation and double lenses.
For the OP, I've got this picture in my head of a leather helmet and old-style motorcycle goggles... Probably not accurate.
