The only goggles I have ever found that are water tight are swimming goggles. Has anyone successfully found anything to wear with an aeroscreen for night time or rainy conditions?

Only helmet for me in the rain, thank you. I got caught by rain with aero on the highway a few times, and oh boy... not being able to see is just one of the problems biggrin

For driving in the dark I just use another set of glasses with clear lenses.

I recently switched to aero and just bought these. Bargain price, ballistic interchangeable lenses.
Whilst letting in air it definitely kept rain out this weekend too.

Might be worth a test?

I'm a little curious to how they would keep the rain out if the air is able to get through. How far did you travel in the rain? I've tried this type before without success but did drive quite a few miles in heavy rain. The main problem being, the water comes inside the lenses from the top, thus, unable to see.

I've used both ski goggles and traditional 'aviator' goggles in the rain and not had any difficulty with vision, but I guess it might depend on the shape of your face and how well they fit, so you might not get a definitive answer.

But as above, rain at any decent speed can be bloody painful, so it's the one circumstance where I will wear a helmet by preference.

I was, unfortunately, caught out in the rain today (full on downpour) with my aero screen. I also have the Enzo Daisy C5s and they didn't let any water in and performed well.

The only challenge I found, as you'll find with others, is that when it's cold outside and you're very warm, the lens will cloud when you're at a stand still. This is normal and an expected compromise with keeping water out!

I particularly like the interchangeable lenses, and the polarised lens does make a difference. Just make sure you keep the clear/yellow ones with you, if you get caught in the rain. The tinted ones are challenging when it gets dark and rains!

I don't even need the strap as they hug tightly and are very comfortable. They do start to move around a bit if you're travelling at relatively fast speeds (i.e. >80 leptons). For £17 you really cant go wrong...

Other friends swear by Birdz as the foam surround keeps dust out more effectively:

I have been using a caberg riviera scooter helmet with the jet fighter visor and sun shade. Wouldn’t go back to ski goggles. This works really well and looks quite cool aswell !
