Just a quick question for those of us that need glasses for driving.
How do you get on with then on your bike??
I have had to wear glasses as long as I've been driving and in the car I wouldn't dare drive without them but for some reason on my bike I don't seem to bother. Mainly because I couldn't fit them in my first helmet and now I'm used to not having them on.
Anyway over the winter I noticed that at nighttime I'm now borderline blind without them so have been trying contact lenses out but for the life of me cannot get on with them ??
So now I'm back to trying to wear glasses inside my helmet. I have the little grooves in this one (Shark Speed R) so they fit fine but they won't stop steaming up. Even with the visor open if I come to a standstill then within 3-4 breathes I'm completely blind. I managed to have them on for the 400 metre trip to the petrol station today then gave up completely when I tried to pull away and couldn't even see my speedometer.
I've tried some of the anti fog solutions that are designed for visors but they only seem to last a ride or 2 before losing effectiveness. I've also tried an old trick with washing up liquid with did well but didn't last more than 2 or 3 days.
So I'm guessing somebody must have some kind of solution to this that I'm not thinking of?
