I love riding in winter. It has taken me several years to accumulate the clothes I like but I'm set. I's in the upper 20s in the morning now. The only problems I have are the same as many. Fogging safety glasses, short headlight battery life. Other than that...life is good.

Thanks. I found these this morning on icebike.com, and while I was at labsafety ordering these, I got some uvex otg grey tinted goggles too.

If I was worried about looking like a dork, I wouldn't be riding!

I've used the goggles for two days. I really am starting to love them. Hell, i might wear them in the Summer. Today it was 21 F and I rode for 1 hr and 54 minutes- 23 miles. I was very comfortable the whole time.

THe visorgogs do tend to want to "cut" into my nose a bit. They need some form of padding on the nose. THere is polished plastic in this area and it would be comfortable if not for the weight of the helmet pushing down on them. Today I used one of my kids cartoon band aids and put it on the bridge of my nose to aid in comfort. THat pretty much took care of the problem. It certainly increased the dork factor a little more.

I might try and fab some form of padding to place on the nose area of the Visor Gogs. Or i might just live with it, it is a very minor problem. IN terms of value, these things are an A+. I recommend them for anyone that intends to ride in cold and especially cold wind. THey are the perfect, cheap solution for some one that wears RX glasses like me.

Those Uvex goggles may give you a fogging problem. The nice thing about the Visor Gogs is that they are vented. There are holes on the top of the visor/brow area. Also if worn correctly, they do not seal to your face. Wind actually blows through them. You can feel it on a side wind. You do not want glasses that seal to your face, you need airflow to keep them clear.

I can attest that the visor gogs do this.

This is my first year winter riding. Last night we had a good snow and when I was going to work this morning I had to turn back back and drive. The bike wouldnt stop or it would slip out from under me. Its a mtn bike and I have knobie tires on it. Guess you can only expect so much. My question is can you buy studs and put the on your tires yourself.

Nokian Winter Tires These will end your slipping.

I opted for cheaper studded tire from nashbar. I paid $27 for a front. I have a blade tire on the back. It is just a tire that has a blade like tread, it is made by Geax.

I ride to look cool! If you paired those goggles with a wight jumpsuit stuffed into the right pair of socks, you would be a flyin' fashion statement. I am definately going to get one of these accessories!
