Probably not a reply that's going to be super-helpful, but I commute about 24 miles RT every day, all year long, in the Portland area. Needless to say, rain is a regular companion. And I'm blind as a bat without glasses/correction. I haven't found rain to be a huge nuisance so much as fog/mist. Rain tends to bead up & run off, but those tiny droplets and the constant wiping are downright dangerous.
2 years ago, at age 50, I finally took the plunge into contacts after telling myself for years that my eyes wouldn't like them. Absolutely transformed my commuting. Now I wear clear cheap glasses (winter) or shades to keep my eyes from drying out too much, and when it's foggy/misty - I don't. Cycling was the BEST thing about going to contacts. As an aside, I was most worried about racing NW cyclocross (read: MUD) with contacts, but for the most part, with the same cheap cycling glasses, it has not been a problem. Definitely better than racing in my prescription glasses. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
