Re: [RBW] What eye protection do y'all use when riding?
Regular glasses or prescription sunglasses. Not a fan of contacts. On yesterday's foggy ride, had to stop every 5 to 10 miles to wipe off my glasses to see. In extreme weather conditions (usually heavy snow or rain) have been known to just take the glasses off and squint while riding.

Re: [RBW] What eye protection do y'all use when riding?
Prescription Rec Specs with transition lenses and straps. They'll fog when I'm stopped at traffic lights, but once I'm moving, that goes away. Decent eye protection, and with the straps, they should stay on if I crash. I normally wear bifocals but opted to save a little money and just get the distance prescription. It doesn't affect me riding, but if I had to read a cue sheet, it would be a problem. --Tom On Sunday, March 25, 2012 8:08:24 AM UTC-4, EricP wrote: Regular glasses or prescription sunglasses.

[RBW] What eye protection do y'all use when riding?
You long distance riders: what do you wear, if anything, to protect your eyes from sun, wind, dust and pollen? I dislike glasses intensely because I sweat all over them so that in very short order they become largely opaque -- as even the very well designed -- the frames sit away from the face -- R Projects got smeared today in 12 miles at 74F, 11% humidity. I generally just wear a cycling cap for the shade (from wind as well as sun) and to act as a sweat reservoir, but then I don't ride 100 miles at a stretch. I used to give myself headaches as a lad wearing heavy glass lenses in slippery, ill fitting, blacl plastic frames when I tried to hold them on my Asian nose with my face muscles. Interesting: Armstrong, Indurain -- mostly in shades. Hinault, Merckx, Anquetil, Coppi, Bartali, Maes, Christophe, Garin -- rarely despite the much more dirt; ditto 12 time Tour winner Beryl Burton, the best cyclist in history. What gives -- Rudy P and Bolle sponsorships? -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I wear RayBan Aviators. Although I occasionally do get a few spots on the inside of the lenses, primarily from tearing on extremely windy days, I typically do not sweat on the lenses even though our notion of a humid day here in metro DC is often as much as ten times higher than Patrick's. And when it comes to pollen -- some days around here, you finish a ride with a green or yellow skin and need to run the windshield washers before you can drive home after the ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
