A friend of mine suggested getting some clear eyeglass sideshields, which are primarily used for safety purposes. Has anyone ever tried these shields on their cycling glasses? Do they help at all with blocking wind? I can buy a pair for only about $5 so will probably try them out one way or the other, but just curious if anyone else has experimented with them.
I don't have cycling glasses, but I wear my work-issued prescription safety glasses with the sideshields when it's colder and windy. Helps quite a bit.
