Are you talking about dry from the wind, or dry from the rain?

I've got a cheepo pair .foam,adustable strap, vents on the side of your eyes , for $12 at an independant bike shop out here in so cal .They get them at the Las Vegas conventions real cheap in bulk .Anyway , these are great , you can actually see out of the side vents for great visibility when changing lanes ...I love em . No big deal with them fogging up except on a real cold morning at a stoplight, I think they all fog up under that condition .

I'd say go for it. With all the money you've probabaly spent on your bike whats another 13 bucks. For 13 bucks I'd consider them disposable.

if your talking about rain, then I would say no. I've had them, even have the insert for my perpcription sunglasses and wen it rain it will puddle up indside around the foam lip and fog like crazy so I just leave them off.

Wife and i both have the HD cheapos, I wear contacts and they are fine, keeps the wind out so my eyes don't water and they work in a light to medium rain. I haven't found any glasses that have worked well in some of the heavy downpours I've been caught in, buy them as long as they fit the contour of your head.
