I use basic safety glasses from 3M that have a foam gasket around the rim. They look like this: 
They are cheap, offer good protection, and the gasket keeps out most of the wind while allowing a tiny amount through to keep them from fogging up. I have clear and tinted pairs that I alternate between depending on the weather.
I use cheaper safety glasses than those, but Australia doesn't get that cold.
Came here to recommend safety glasses too.
Using safety glasses as well after I read a claim that cycling glasses and safety glasses are the same thing, one sold for 10, the other for 30 Euros. Never looked back, and told everyone who'd listen.
Yeah, pretty much. I've seen some cycling glasses as high as $200CAD. Absolutely absurd markup for tinted plastic.
Not that i disagree but "tinted plastic" is disingenuous.
Safety glasses exist with tinted glass as well
Interesting I might look into these !
I was handed a pair of these on a site visit to a potash mill and was told to hand them back at the end. Oops, forgot.
I'm using a ski mask in Canada. It's engineered for the right conditions. Can ride at -15. Covering the face with a balaclava as well is necessary.
I tried that one winter and couldn't get my helmet to sit right. The goggles pushed it up.
Yeah, I guess it depends on the helmet and mask. I'm using a Bell Super 3R and a Gordini mask that allows prescription glasses under it. No fitment issues.
Does anyone else have a problem with glasses/ goggles fogging up whenever you stop on a cold day? Anti-fog solutions don't seem to work.
No. I use an ab mask anti-fog cloth on them. I'm still using up cloths I bought during the pandemic. When it's really foggy, they still mist up, but not simply from my breath.
back when I was a year-round bike commuter in New England I’d just pop on a pair of cheap over-glasses style plastic safety goggles (the type that are just basically big glasses, no elastic strap or seal or anything). Helped with wind mitigation and didn’t fog up too much since they were fairly open. nothings gonna be perfect though.
I find I need "cowboy" glasses with no gap at the bridge to avoid the wind stinging my eyes. I wear prescription glasses. I have worn ski goggles when there were big wildfires, but they're usually too much.
Motorcycle glasses would work too, same as the safety goggles someone mentioned with foam gaskets.
Get a nice set of ski goggles. You won't regret it. Just make sure it fits with your helmet, if you ride with one.
Just use what skiers use.
