im just using a set of cheap over the glasses Scott goggles. my eyes are pretty sensative, so i would guess i bust them out before most. no real temperature or wind levels......just when i think i need them.
I've been using a pair of clear glasses since I was passed by a truck whose exhaust blew into my face. My baclava pretty much covers everything else. The problem I have is with fogging and freezing. I had to take them off New Year's Day because I couldn't see. Any suggestions on how to keep them from fogging?
I really like Gateway glasses esp for the tinting that's on them. I use them for sun glasses, specifically, bc they fit over both pairs of my regular glasses that I have to wear when driving. These safety glasses fit extremely nice and tight over my glasses, and the ventilation slits on the sides help the air flow freely avoiding the condensation to take away your field of vision.

That’s one advantage of a ski/winter sports goggle — they have double lenses to help minimize fogging. The inner lens stays warmer than the outer lens.
It is hard to keep eyewear from fogging on a bike if you’re working hard and sweating. More airflow behind the lens helps but that’s not always what you want in the winter….
It was -14 F. I usually break them out when the temps get into the single digits. As far as fogging, I use a Bontrager Balaclava that has a flap that goes over your nose so your mouth "hole" can stay open and all that warm breath can escape out and not go up into the bottom of the goggle.
Giro brand goggles from Amazon. Started using them on fat bike rides, but now I'm keeping them at increasingly higher temps and shedding or thinning other insulating gear instead to maintain comfort.
What I've noticed is that at least below freezing, covering as much exposed skin as possible leads to less overall fatigue on longer rides even if my body temp might feel ok.
