A. Why not try contact lenses? They don't mist up in wet weather & they don't slide off your nose if you sweat in hot weather. Plus you have unrestricted all round vision & can wear sunglasses if required.

A. Steve...have you tried wearing a baseball hat with large peak? Whilst you run the risk of looking slightly chavvy, it does stop the rain going on your specs!!

 

No suggestions for the steaming up problems i'm afraid though...you just have to keep giving them a quick wipe!

A. I have the same problem and found a peaked cap or tilley hat help but am going to invest in sports contact lenses as eyes have there own built in wipers.

A. I wear a baseball cap to keep the rain off my glasses and hence stop them steaming up. Also keeps my head dry.

A. Hi . . . you could try wearing a hat that has a peak on it . . . i wear one when I go cycling!! it works for me . . . an this may sound odd but if you wipe your glasses with shaving foam 1st . . . that's right foam . . . that should stop them steaming . . . it works on the bathroom mirror!!!

 

Good Luck.

A. Wiping your car windscreen with newspaper is supposed to help as there is something in the ink which helps prevent condensation. You could try that - and then let us know whether or not it works!!
