Cycling goggles
It seems that the latest fashion in cycling eyewear are goggles. A year ago I saw Peter Sagan wearing them. Now in this year’s Tour quite a few riders are sporting them. I don’t like the look....too big. What’s your opinion?

The Pro’s get them free and get sponsored by the companies. So they wear them.

Yeah, same here. Maybe the guy on the left, but even those look to have just a large white nose bridge.
But why would you want goggles? Bombing down my regular descent at the start of my commute today, I must have hit a good speed, because my eyes started to water a bit. Googles would prevent that, so long as they didn't fog up. Or I just need to spend more than $40 on cheap sport glasses.

For the last couple of years I’ve started my riding season in January/February so I grabbed a pair of ski goggles. When spring came and I broke my sunglasses I grabbed the goggles. I am prove to sweating profusely and often it gets in my eyes but I discovered that this was
