Subject: Ski goggles for winter running?
I saw a previous post on winter riding where someone was wearing ski goggles. After today's windchill, I'm thinking about trying ski goggles on very cold and windy days while running. Since I don't ski, can anyone recommend a make of ski goggles that you could run in (comfortable, light, no fog, good visibility, etc.)?

Thanks

No recommendations, but I was thinking I might try wearing some close-fitting clear-lens safety glasses for my runs. My eyes have been tearing up a lot, and going off-road, it makes it hard to see the terrain.

I do it all the time.  If you wear a gator (mouth cover) you'll fog up the goggles when you exhale. 

Otherwise; It looks funny but it works, 100%.

they are like sunglasses.  You really need to go try them on to make sure they fit your face.  All the brands will be fine, but I have me two pair of Smith's.  Thing to consider is tinting.  Do you run in the dark?  If so I recommend clear goggles.

I think it was Aquagirl that posted a picture of herself either in ski or snowmobile goggles and she looked seriously HAWT!

I wear them when I ride when it's cold. I have nice prescription sunglasses that fit snug but ski goggles are better.

I bought some from Sierra Trading Post as they were a good deal and they work fine. They do effect your peripheral vision.
