> I've yet to find any ski or safety goggles that don't steam up when you're breathing hard (most of the time for me!). The Petzl visor (vizion?) on the other hand is brilliant for face and eye protection - never steams up despite my snorting
I made the mistake of wearing the Vizion visor on one of those days when the spindrift seems to be blowing simultaneously up as well as down the route, and going 50mph in both directions. Great for settled conditions, though wearing a head torch means you can't flick the visor up. I'm a fan of straightforward safety specs, unless truly awful conditions, when the trusty ski goggles come out.
Amazed how few winter climbers wear eye protection, especially given the risks on ice routes. But having had a substantial corneal abrasion due to a chunk of ice pinging back out of a placement, I suppose I'm more painfully aware of the risks. The alternative is to close your eyes every time your tool is about to hit the ice, which is a right faff.
