I just got home.

It was lighter than I'd expected. It's nothing new; I have a long cycling history. The times I've ridden in rain are way beyond count.

And I usually don't mind it. It's often quite pleasant.

I just wish I could find some way of seeing through my glasses..........

Cotton cycling cap under your helmet, using its brim to shield your glasses? Not great for wind-driven rain, but I find it helps more than helmet visors.

I think I see what you're getting at..........

The brim of the cap would be lower than my helmet visor. I could tilt it so that it would just brush the tops of the glasses, giving more shelter.

I have a summer helmet that I fastened the bill and sweat band from a baseball cap into. Maybe I could try to work out something similar in my winter helmet.

I'll give it some thought and, likely, experimentation. Thanks.

Cycling cap or baseball style cap should be low enough on your head to keep the rain out off your glasses.... unless it's a driving rain in a high wind. I haven't ridden in the rain yet. I'm such a wimp.

You have to ride in the rain once in awhile just so you know that you are, in fact, a bicycle commuter.

PS: How to keep your glasses from getting wet in the rain: wear contact lenses and leave your glasses at home.

+1 on the cycling cap under your helmet. If you keep your head tipped down a bit the brim can be just enough shelter for your glasses to make a big difference. I wish I had had mine with me last night. Worked late and didn't realize it'd be raining on the way home. Figured it be snow, after all it is February.

I prefer the baseball cap with the longer bill. I imagine I'm looking out at the rain while sitting under a canopy--a mental trick to make the ride more tolerable.

That's what I do. Trying to run a steeplechase in college in a downpour with my glasses on is what made me a convert to contact lenses. I couldn't see the barriers well enough to jump over or even onto them, and had to pretty much stop and climb over them. Rain doesn't bug my eyes when I have my contact lenses in.

In heavy rain I wear a lightweight nylon hat with full bill under my helmet. Keeps my hair relatively dry and water out of my eyes.

Has anyone else fantasized about a full-face mask for torrential downpours, perhaps helmet mounted?

Going home in the rain isn't bad; there's a hot shower waiting, and dry clothes.

Like this?

Grundens Sou-wester, for a dry head, is in my bag
with the Grundens made Cycle rain cape
I got from RBW.
Grant got the Swedish Fisherman's foul weather gear maker to supply the capes ,
they say they designed, to be made out of the Grunden's Portuguese factory..

+1 amen to that!

I rode home in the rain yesterday, 42 deg.F and into a stiff headwind as well (getting dark too). Thoughts of a hot shower and dry clothes were major mental motivators!

Seattle Forrest is quite correct!

Re: OP, I guess I'm used to looking through the rain drops on my glasses. Not a huge problem for me.

Did my first commute in the rain this morning. Wasn't to bad except my butt was wet for like 2 hours after the ride lol. Need to invest in fenders!

go really really fast and the wind will blow the raindrops off your glasses.....Just kidding...rainx works pretty good
