Helmet with visor.

[Bonefishblues]

Just apropos of the power of the Polaroid brand, which is still used in the way hoover is for vacuum cleaners in respect of polarising glasses

I should Xerox that.

Total Horlicks!

Once again, thank you all for the replies, advice and the links.

The helmet with visor seed was sown when I saw Mark Beaumont use one on his RTW/80 days jaunt...a fancy looking 'Rudy' job at well over 200 quid !! I'm from a motorcycling background and I have ridden behind visors for nearly fifty years, I guess it's what I'm used to. However, I think that I will give the polaroid overglasses a go first, I didn't know that there were such things, got to be worth a try.

Every day is a school day....Many thanks....

Not cheap though. You can use it with or without the visor.

Or there is this one:

Much cheaper.

a big difference is the airspeed over the visor; on a motorbike, it isn't that difficult to get set up (between head height/angle, fairing lip position, and coatings on the visor) so that raindrops simply blow off without obscuring your vision, most of the time. Needless to say none of this works on a bicycle, and whatever misting problems you are used to on a motorbike are (for any given standard of ventilation) liable to be x10 worse on a bicycle, because you are working hard.

...and linked earlier, but as OP says, he is going with the overglasses to see how he gets on with those

I bought the Abus Hyban and find it excellent. My glasses are fairly large but the visor is down it doesn’t catch. I have used it in 4 degrees C and it has kept the cold draught off my eyes so no “runny eye” problems at all.
