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.

    Seconding the use of protective glasses as a sort of windshield. I use clear ones in the winter and tinted ones in the summer.

    Here in the sub-arctic we get some heavy showers but likely nothing like what you get if you have monsoon seasons or the like. But snow and sleet and the like can be surprisingly unpleasant to get on the eyes anyway.
