In fact, yesterday I broke out the heavy duty fleece one with the foam-rubber-ish facemask. I have to pull that down when I stop to keep it from venting my breath straight up at my glasses and fogging them over. I tried goggles my first winter of riding, and found that they fogged up too much whenever I had to stop. I think they'd be fine for a long haul rural ride in foul weather, but for commuting, they were no good at all. I just basically bear with the winter bullshit, whine enough to vent off the frustration, and count down the days until springtime. I do wear a balaclava.

Makes for an easier, uniform surface when you have to wipe it off, and keeps the top half of your face warmer! Any chance you could get your hands on some of those?
