Hey, I was just wondering how you guys cope in the rain for eyewear? Its fine when i wear my fullface cos I have goggles on but in my bucket helmet, rain always goes in my eyes and I cant see.
You can put goggles over a bucket...its works pretty well

The water won't collect more on glasses than goggles.

Even if it did, just go faster to keep the water off of them. Salute

My personal record is -40 air temp, -50 with the windchill.
I'll never break that record because I realized how dumb it was to be out biking in that temp...7 layers on my torso, 5 layers on my legs, 5 layers on my hands and 3 toques.
Here's a pic of my commute home one day last March... Winter riding can be fun but there are limits...
