I love commute by bike for grocery and stuff, but riding in rain is my least favorite stuff ever. Even though i have poncho, it makes me looks like a Ring Wraith on bicycle, and it’s quite fussy trying to put it on. And even i get to keep everything dry somehow, the rain drop might sometime score a direct hit on my eyeball like the car salesman slapping the car. It’s annoying, irritating, and frankly quite dangerous. My vision is blurred, so is my glasses, and it almost got me into trouble a few times.
So how do you guys protect your eye and keep your vision clear? I live in tropical area so the rain can be quite heavy at time, and i can’t wait until it stop because sometime it will go on for hours, even if it get lighter.
I have a pair of photochromic cycling glasses that I bought off of AliExpress for like $10 or so. They work quite well for all kinds of sunlight and rain I happen to cycle in. No issues using them at night either, as they become mostly transparent at that point. Finally, they protect well against cold winds which can be troublesome on the eyes when biking.
