"... I'm sick and tired of fogged-up, water-droplet obscured glasses... using disposable contacts just for rough-water work." If you use disposable contacts for rough water paddling, and you have to roll, isn't there a risk of the contacts washing out? I usually open my eyes underwater to roll. Carrying tethered specs as a backup would be good. I have lately acquired a set of "RecSpecs", and had prescription tinted lenses fitted. For a picture, see http://www.sporteyes.com/rsgog.htm#Raptor. They are a little like ski goggles. An unkind friend asked to borrow them as welding goggles. So far, these seem pretty good. They don't seem to get torn off your head in surf as easily as sunglasses with arms, and the ventilation is OK.
