Riding in the rain
Went on a ride yesterday with my HD goggles with the foam around them which does a pretty good job of keeping the pollen out. But it started to rain and they got wet and then fogged up and couldn't see very well. Had to lower them to let air circulate in/out but then the water hit my eyes. Since I was with a group of riders, I couldn't stop to get my sunglasses so just kept using the goggles. On the way home, I put on my sunglasses but they hurt my ears under the 3/4 helmet I have, but at least I could see better.

I have some Wiley X's that have removable foam. When a real gully washer hits I just pop the foam out and keep going.
Nothing works good for keeping your glasses clear, but those and a screen make it tolerable.

I know I'm a Sporty driver but the rain is the same. Being from Minnesota, and being as I ride from mid-March through December with trips west and east I always catch rain. My favorite is windshield, helmet shield, prescription classes all in concert. I've cut my windshield 1.5" below my eye-level and continually adjust my posture while raising or lowering my helmet shield. All Shields and glasses are coated with that blue stuff that was mentioned earlier. Extra blue stuff is in the windshield bag.
I've been hanging around the touring section because I'm getting to old for sportsters, and I'm learning too many first names at gas stations.
