Title: Working in the rain when you wear glasses ??
Post by: Erithwc on October 08, 2012, 11:43:46 am: What do you guys that wear glasses do when working in the rain ??? ???

I had to finish after a few jobs today baseball cap was soaked so i took it of then i couldn't see cause of rain water on my glasses.

The only thing i can think of is water proof base ball cap if they do them and some kind of water repellent spray for my glasses.

Thanks Paul

Or go to an Outdoor shop and get a waterproof one with earflaps for about £20.

people who shout things while driving by are normally very sad people indeed, if they can insult someone else they feel happy for a short time content that there soo much better then anyother human! ;D i feel sorry for them.

sometimes its funny and i laugh along and even join in. but im a bit of a strange one if the truth be told! hehehe

Do you rinse on or off your glasses?
