I can't recommend goggles with a little fan in them enough. Lenses make a good bit of difference, but no mist on the goggles guaranteed can make life easier still!

I saw some goggles online with a build in GPS with a HUD :D

"The goggles have integrated hardware to measure speed, altitude, vertical odometer, stopwatch/chronos mode, temperature, time, GPS derived coordinates. Data transfer as well as recharges can be accomplished through USB. It will be available in two lens options; SPX polarized and SPPX Polarized + Photochromatic.

While this is a ski goggle, the concept is pretty exciting if you consider the possibilities of integrating Recon's GPS data to a goggle-based HUD."

The are also looking to include piste maps :shock:

I believe that the decision to wear goggles is a personal choice... hang on, that's a different debate.

Ian's Bolle modulators look like a good choice and they seem to get good reviews from people who have tried them in flat light conditions.

Andy, I was reading the PR blurb in the link you sent and I will now only refer to cloudy days as "Greybird" days!

I could have done with some decent flat light goggles this weekend. Miss randomno and I narrowly missed skiing of a cliff.
