After a few seasons of battling the elements, I've learned a thing or two about how to make rainy soccer games a little less miserable – and maybe even a little fun!

Hockey with Glasses: A Practical Guide to Seeing Clearly on the Ice Hockey with Glasses: A Practical Guide to Seeing Clearly on the Ice Let's face it, playing hockey with less-than-perfect vision can be a real pain. As someone who relies on glasses, I know firsthand the struggles of trying to keep them in place, dealing with fogging, and just generally feeling uncomfortable on the ice. Over the years, I've experimented with different solutions, and I want to share what I've learned to help other hockey players see clearly and perform their best.

Well, I soon found out. The first pair I bought, a super budget-friendly option, gave me a headache almost immediately. The optics were just terrible. I realized then that not all safety glasses are created equal. I ended up spending a little more and finding ...
