<p>Hi Everyone!</p>
<p>I still have not solved the winter glasses thing. Most of the time, my regular bike glasses with clear lenses are fine. Get down to zero or below, and they all suck. My snowboarding goggles fogged up too. Part of it is to not get so geared up that I overheat, but I am still in search of a good solution for really cold weather.

<p>Maybe we could challenge an equipment manufacturer like Bern to make something like a ski goggle that wraps around and gives the same fog free operation but also nice peripheral vision. </p>

<p>Yeah, I was going to ask about fog earlier.</p>
<p>I receive a $7 pair of ski goggles today I ordered from some random shipper in Hong Kong off eBay.</p>
<p>They're horrible. They would only come close to fitting someone who had a little flat round button nose.</p>
<p>The only way they'll stay on is with the bottom edge pressing on my lower eyelids. Weird.</p>

<p>I haven't got around to trying toothpaste or any of the other old anti-fog tricks on the Kroops.</p>

I haven't had any problems with the tinting at night in city thanks to all the street lights, using them on unlit streets might be a different story. Periphery vision is impacted, but it's worth it to me if i can bike without crying. These have changed my winter biking immensely.
