What are you guys using for goggles, and are you putting anything on them to keep them from fogging up? I have a cheap pair of Answer goggles, they fog up in no time once I stop riding, when I start moving, the fog slowly goes away. My friend bought new Scott High Voltage goggles, and they fog up too, not as quickly, but they still fog up. Then I read a trick about putting soap on the lens, letting it dry and then wiping it off.. that helped, but still once I stopped for about 20 seconds, the fog started to appear. I just saw Smith Turbo Cam goggles with a fan in them, but at $190 I'm not sure if I want to drop that much cash on them.. anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

i know what ya mean about sucky goggles. i had old goggles that fogged up in no time i just got high voltage goggles cause they say that their no fog goggles adn so far they have been right i didnt fog em up yet...something must be wrong with ur friends goggles. just look around for no fog goggles u can pick em up for like 40 bucks. what kind of riding do u do that their always fogging up??
We usually ride in a wide range of terrain.. woods, sand, jumps, whoops, rocky, top end, wheelies, etc.. I definately put a lot of effort into my riding, so i sweat a good amount too.

aslong as you keep moving they should'nt fog up, and if you stop for a short amount of time take them away from your face to keep fog from building up, theres many tricks to keep them from not fogging, soap is one of them, i never have tried any of the tricks, considering i never have a problem with my goggles.......in rockymountain atv they have goggles that have a little battery opperated fan on them to keep them from fogging they are like 100 bux tho...
Get the Scott Hig Voltage Thermal Cross goggle. They are like the Turbo Flow's but they have the cool frame design. If you wanna know where to get some email me and I will tell you where to go for a good deal.
Not to sound stupid but it does make a lil bit of a diff, check to make sure all your vents are fully open on your helmet. You can buy some stuff at the snowmobile shops for the lenses, i cant remember what it is called though, if its fairly cold you can try a double lense.
I actually have been using some anti-fog, i think Rain-X made it... but its been working "OK".. Still, if i forget to take the goggles off if i stop for a little while, they will fog up, but its better that how it was.. i'll try the spitting next. )
I wear Oakley goggles with a frame designed to be worn over glasses. I've yet to have them fog up on me. Only if I should come into a warm area from very cold weather will they fog,but I don't keep them on if I stay indoors for any lenght of time. The lense of the goggles is alittle further from my face,maybe thats why I don't have a problem. Winter weather here in Wisconsin can be pretty extreme! Also,Scott makes a no-fog cloth. It's made of flannel and is impregnated with a no-fog solution. You just wipe your lense with the cloth,works quite well. That's what my friend uses.
You should try whearing ski or snowboard goggles. They sell clear ones that dont seem to fog. I think oakley makes a pair i know spy and gragon do too. There not expensive only like $30-40.
March 2002 Dirt Wheels has a review on a set of ProGrip goggles that are anti-fog with a light sensitive lense that darkens in the sun for about $40. According to the article they said they "couldn't get them to fog up under any conditions". Another quote: "We are comfortable saying these are the best goggles on the market bar none." Pretty strong endorsement. I know my Oakley L frames fog up on occasion, wheather it's hot or cold out.
I have the new Smith WarpStars and them things fog up faster then hell and take friggrn forever to unfog again when I'm ridding.. and the foam is falling off.. cool looking $49 "JUNK" I guess.
I just bought a pair of Progrip 3200 millenium,rainbow lens. Man I love these, I sweat like a pig and not once fogged up. Make sure you buy the tear offs to protect the out side coating. I bought mine from Dennis Kirk 41.99
i have a pair of spy targa racing goggles for like 35 bucks brand new and they are fog resistant never foggs and theyre harder than hell to scratch and the foam is really thick so it absorbes sweat then it cools off from the many vents and then cools u off.
:tup:
my friend here's the scoop
i went thru this last year and i am and old fart with bifocals....
spitting in them works for a while.....thanks SeaHunt and Scott Pak, pun intended, cuz its not a clear view for long hehe
THE FINE FOLKS at this and other sites helped me develop the proper system if youre blind as a bat, and old firefighter who doesnt like to lose, and are trying to keep up with yer two teenaged boys:
the trick is : SCOTT OTG goggles [over the glasses] i think theyre type 87 or 89... sorry catalog not handy. and then, buy the THERMAL LENSES, which are two lenses with vents and a spacer between. that works excellent for fogging! tip: you can wipe the outer lens with a rock and it wont scratch, but if you BREATHE on the inner lens, it's hazed.
fortunately, these goggles are designed to fit nicely, and they do.
the blue lens are really cool too...they are "lazer" blue or sumthin... seem like they are polarized....everyone loves them!
MOST IMPORTANT: get the QS QuickStrap system to attach yer gog's.
like flying goggles or yes, a firefighters air mask, they snap away easily and hang out of the way on the side you deign. You know that the fog prob is yer breath, of course, so let's get the gogles away from yer breath!
NOW, please remember this system is not perfect, but with the help and hints of tht e fine folks on this website and fellow riders, i'm getting it narrowed down to a science.
oh, i have about 20 diff brands of antifog things for snow ski gog's if anyone wants them...spit works just as well! hehe :razz:
and if i just went thru that so somebody could giggle, well, you know my name, remove it from your membership list. i have no more time for this website. good riddance.
i am disappointed.
i personally use the pro-grip light sensitive goggles and have no problems. Money well spent IMO!
