Don't people who are saying contact lenses find it a problem when riding with the visor open? I wear contacts for climbing/running etc., but given that I find windy days in the mountains uncomfortable (the airflow dries my eyes out), I imagine it's even worse on the bike? OK with the visor down though I expect (but I don't like riding with it shut unless I have to, bad weather etc.).


You can buy eye drops from places like Boots to help keep the eyes moisturised.

But to answer your question yes. Riding with the visor cracked open is uncomfortable, but a lot less of a pain and far safer than riding with glasses would be this time of year. When I rode with glasses in the past they fog up, and I felt like I was going to rear end someone because I couldn't see through them; from then on I only ever carry them as backup, and almost would never wear them in anything but dry conditions.

Visor gave up today and I ended up riding with better vision 3/4 open than with it closed, until it rained and the visor cleared the more I went on; glasses probably would have made me do a U-Turn a few roads away from my house.

Fortunately I'm freakishly long sighted, so even though my eye sight is deteriorating I can still read motorway signs etc way before most people.

dunno what I'll do if I need to wear them on a bike Crying or Very sad

I need them to read, can't see anything except the book / laptop in front of me with reading glasses on, bump into things if I forget to take them off

So I picked up a Shark Drak lid with the attached goggles. Not more steaming up.

Pretty extreme scenario, but the lid looks funky!

MotoX style goggles rather than a traditional visor.

most goggles tend to fog up which is why I'm asking?

are they double walled lenses?
