Dirty glasses

[Old jon]

On Monday, the rain fell so hard it hurt my face. So I went to buy some riding glasses. These seem to work
well, keep the rain less painful, tiny solid flying bits bounce off. There is always a but. At the end of the
ride the left lens is so dirty it does impair vision quite a bit, and all the rather greasy muck is on the
inside. Does anyone have any idea how this happens?

Sweat and condensation. Both normal. Wash under the tap with hand soap.

When raining I like to also wear a cap, I find this also helps with vision. The peak must be of some use

Katherine, thank you, that is brilliant!! Of course I sweat, just didn't think of the condensation. Steve, cheers mate, will try that.

I have a fool proof method. When it is raining, don't go out.

Jannie had the problem of rain on her glasses for years. She now wears a transparent poker visor under her helmet and tells me it makes a huge difference.

As a bespectacled person, that's handy to know!
