Do you hate Foggy Goggles?

dlague · Nov 4, 2015

No I am not talking about a bar, pub or restaurant. Those super cold days where you are skiing hard and then all of a sudden the goggles start to frost over!

Well while there have been several solutions like anti-fog wipes and surfaces, fans etc. this solution seems to be a good one.

Interesting....
I grabbed Smith's OTG with fan goggle in May...although I now like the I/OX's(& others') ease of lens change better.
There was one skier on a SL unofficial chat website that mentioned his/her thoughts that fog came from our cheeks..below the goggle...eminating moisture up thru the foam...and he/she simply taped over the bottom of the goggle to seal out heat/moisture....y/n? Beat's me...never tried that. If I run into isssues I'll give that a try....
Smith doesn't make a Rose lens(like Oakley) for that OTG/fan goggle...just a Blue(for lowlight).

I almost never wear a face mask and as a result get plenty of ventilation, however my wife and son wear a face mask often and on those cold days is when they appear to have the problem. I think it is from breathing through the face mask and subsequently getting into the goggle.

$250 for goggles, NFW!!!! I've used $35 pair for 10+ years and never had enough of a problem to spend that much $!!

While we're on goggles....
Anyone have any experience with the Anon M1 or M2 s ? The lens change feature is pretty sweet, was looking at them today.
Although a little pricey I like how they fit and look too. I may go for them if I can get a decent deal. Just have a hard time spending 200 for goggles

Not crazy about magnets that close to me so much. I like the Spy Doom's change system.

Never gave the magnets a thought to being close as a negative. Just curious what's the problem ?

The magnets are not a problem. Just an unwarranted fear. There are more stray E&M fields just walking around. The B field falls off as 1/R(squared) so the strength is to back ground in a couple of cm's for the magnets being used.

Ok Great I may go for these as long as I don't get stuck to the chairlift or snow making piping !!
