wind burn

A friend of mine forgot her sunglasses one ride, and ended up having to wear an eye patch for a couple weeks because something flew into her eye! I'd been pretty good about wearing either sunglasses or goggles, because I don't like dust in my eyes, but since that happened to her I wear them like my helmet, all the time.

Aside from that one time, I've never ridden with any form of glasses. I need sunglasses when I drive, but they seem to hinder me when I'm walking or riding - weird, huh?

I've had gnats fly into my eye and the occasional "OMG, what's that in my eye?!" moments but fortunately nothing bad. I really ought to just get used to wearing them for my own safety. Eyes are so fragile!!

I ALWAYS wear eye protection for safety.

As I've said before, I wear the S&W Mini Magnum which are sized for a youth/woman's face, come in smoke, clear and amber, have excellent optical quality, are ANSI Z87+ shatterproof and UV-blocking since they're polycarbonate, and they're $9 each.

A couple of years ago on TOSRV we were hit by a serious downpour. I was one of the few people who could see anything at all, since I'd remembered to bring my clear glasses.
