I know they "de-fog" when I get going again, but those first few yards could be very scary after having to stop for a light or whatever in the winter.

Oh, and I can't wear contacts. (eyes get way too dried out)

Also, do I need to get studded tires? I know I will be riding in some deep snow occasionally, and right now I have road slicks on my mtb. I think I will probably switch to my "city" tires which have a somewhat moderate tread on them once we start to get flurries.

Thanks a bunch! Kat
I don't think there is one real good solution. I just wear mine and deal with it the best i can. sometimes this means grabbing them and putting them in my pocket, when they are fogging too badly. (one of my eyes is near 20/20, sort of) This only happens at really cold temps when i am wearing the Balaclava. Other than that i get along pretty well.

If you haven't already been. Go here to learn some great tips.
