Glasses fogging up.
It's that time of year here in the Pacific Northwest. The good news I've got my new bike. Yippee!!
Now I wear glasses all the time and along with the rain, the plastic lens fog up. I'm considering using glasses and goggles together hopefully to solve this. Any ideas for goggles that accommodate glasses?
I understand Rain-X is out because it damages the plastic lens.

You could try a ski product called Cat Crap. Another possibility is to pull your glasses slightly away from your face to get more airflow behind them. I'm talking a few mm.

A major difference is that my goggles have rigid earpieces to hold an eyeglass mounted rear view mirror.

Since this summer, macteacher and I have been trading suggestions for modifying goggles to solve that problem:

Here is an old trick from my ophthalmology days...take a candle (unlit) rub some wax lightly on the lenses and then buff it out with a clean towel...use to recommend this ski patients all the time, works and is cheap.
