Those darn things that are hard to get to, I hate repairs like that.
Forgot to mention that yesterday morning when it was 26F (wind chill 18 I think), I decided to just go without eye wear of any kind. I had on my thick balaclava and have tried various combinations of clear glasses and even ski goggles, but absolutely nothing works for me as far as not fogging up. So I just cinched the balaclava in as close as possible all around my eyes, and left my eyes exposed. And honestly it wasn't too bad. Usually I need glasses to keep bugs and dust out of my eyes, but apparently in the cold winter that seems to not be as much of a problem.
This is also the first winter with my newer, larger helmet (got it last Spring, older helmet was an old Specialized in medium, now I have a Bontrager in large with a far superior adjustment system). I had difficulty last winter getting my helmet on when wearing my balaclava. But now I can wear both the balaclava AND skull cap inside with sweat strip, AND even ski goggles, and the helmet retention straps will fit over everything. Then I can just turn the adjustment knob in back to cinch it down. Works great, and much more comfortable!
