All,
I felt the need for a new thread, rather than used the 'things you've bought' or whatever it is thread.
Anyway, these are magnificent: ESS V12 Advancer goggles;
I bought a pair off ebay for £20 - 3 lenses (clear, yellow and smoke) + bag and all the bits. They do not fog up, ever, they stay perfectly clear in foul conditions, they don't slip off or down my nose as I ride, they don't allow sweat to drip in my eyes.
Quite simply, they are the best goggles/glasses I have ever worn on a bike.

I'll stick to my Jawbones. These look a bit cumbersome and OTT.Ben

Admittedly, you do look like a tool in them, but they are fantastic - I bought them for shooting originally, but decided to wear them on the bike when my Oakley's broke. They are not too cumbersome and are incredibly light - however, with a helmet on you can hide them a bit if you are a feeling self conscious......0

Self consciousness is not an emotion to which I give much credence when I'm on the bike. Helmet, lycra, funny tan lines...
Does the strap fit under your helmet okay?Ben

Yup - surprisingly comfortable. I suspect the military have specified and designed these for snipers (as they are ballistics resilient up to .22 cal) as such, I think the military would want to aid snipers in blowing people heads off with comfort and a lack of fogging up......
