I live in the volcanic ash capital of America: western WA.

Being poor, I have a couple of pair of possibly the most uncool goggles in existence: cheap plastic safety goggles with clear packaging tape over the vent holes. The front plate is rigid, the surround is soft. I keep two pair in my car, each in it's own plastic Ziplock bag.

Oddly enough, they fit my dog, too, as long as I can curve them to fit her face and can keep her from rubbing them off. But I usually carry some Duct Tape, too... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> And I don't have to worry much about sun & glare protection: during ash fall, there's little of either.

Cool? Nope! Effective? Yep!
