Hey guys, Do you have any tips on keepin my goggle from fogging up? Is it the quality of my goggles, poor ventilation in my helmet? Or do I just get stuck too much?

try some anti fog spray. or get a pair of 509 goggles mine havent fogged once
Keep them dry inside, make sure you dont have any hair hanging inside the foam and keep them on your face . I use a bit of anti fog on mine and in a pinch I have a pair under the hood that are warm and dry to swap out.
A breath deflector is a must. I don't think there is any system that is 100% fog proof. I have the 09, 509s and they have fogged up a bit in the real cold temps too. Keeping the inside of the lense dry is the key.
He is spot on, keep the lenses dry and get a breath deflector.
Bring spare goggles...other than that, they ALL fog.
Double lens is a must................
If you don't have a pair of goggles with a double lens, you can buy a lens. I have had awesome results with Oakley and a double lens. Also have some Smiths that work very good also. I am a guy who sweats also. I have two pair and a place under the hood to store them. Like was said above, all goggles will eventually fog as soon as they get wet. -00's

The double lens is a must, but there are some things to check. Be sure the lens hasn't cracked or the seal between the lenses has failed. The dual lens is to separate the cold outer air from the warm inner air.
Check that moisture and sweat are not getting past the foam on your goggles. Moisture inside the goggle will fog very quickly if airflow is not sufficient.
A breath guard is a great idea. I prefer the type inside the helmet. Your goggle should rest slightly on the guard. this will seal it against your face. This seal will keep your warm breath from rising across the cold face of your goggle. Again, contributing to fogging.
Anti and no-fog type sprays. Haven't had much luck with them. I prefer a product called Plexus. It's a plastic cleaner/polish. The side effect is that it tends minimize fogging. And acts to disperse fogging rather quickly when moving.
Quick straps might be a good idea. When stuck or when helping your stuck buddy. I've found it a good idea to remove your goggles when stopped for any length of time. You aren't moving so there isn't airflow through the goggle. Quick straps can conveniently remove the goggle while working. Or take off the whole helmet. Again, the extra warmth may contribute to sweating which could be an issue once back on the sled.
As stated, bring an extra pair. There isn't much you can do when you are just having too much fun and you cake your goggles with powder. They need to be dried off. The moisture can cause spotty fogging on the lenses depending on outside temp so it's nice to rotate a couple of sets.
Hope that helps.

There is this stuff called cat crap. its a paste you clean your goggles with and has a super no fog chemical in it.
should be available at most dealers.

Anyone try Rain-x? It should work on plastic lenses and help when the snow flakes are big and wet? You can get it at Wal-mart.

I have tried lots of goggle. Oakleys just plain suck nuts I have never liked a pair for winter yet. Summer they are fine.
SPY isn't bad again better for summer riding.
Smiths are the same as well.
I have finally tried the Scott X89 no sweats. I got them with the Light sensitive lenses and they are AWESOME!
When it is dark out they are clear. When it gets light and sunny they turn dark blue. Never have fogged up accept when I thought it would be cool to put mirror lenses in (single lenses). I said screw it and put the ones that came in which were the light sensitive ones. I didn't even know they were LS until my buddy asked how my lenses changed color.

The best I have found is Pro grip goggles with light sensitive lenses. Granted nothing is fog proof but when we stop for a while I put them under the hood to keep them dry as possible that is the best I have found. I love the light sensitive lenses as the weather changes and light conditions change they work great.
cut a raw potato in half and rub the cut side on yer lenses inside and out....happy riding..
I bought 2 pairs of these and they fog just like others. I am not sold on the polarized. In low light with snow it was a bitcbh to see contours. The best for me are progrip with the double lens in blue.
Hey thanks for all the tips guys this should sure help. Happy trails......or chutes!!!
I have had Oakley's, Scott's,smith and spys they will all fog eventuality use to go threw a couple pair in a day until I found the no fog mask. sense then one pair will last all day

If you were in Colorado I would be happy to let you try my demo sets. I have had a number of people try my goggles with the Eliminator and everyone has loved them.

A few hints to help all goggles stay fog free.
-Use a breath deflector if you can stand it
-Double lenses are a MUST
-keep your lenses CLEAN
-Store your goggles INSIDE where it is warm, not in your cold truck
-Get any water/snow out of the inside of the goggles. So when you wipe out, take a break or dig someone out, try and prevent any moisture from going inside the goggles. Dab the water out of the goggle, don't wipe. Wiping can remove any anti-fog coating.
-Make sure your vents on your goggles do not get clogged with snow or dirt
-Don't overdress. Are you sweating when you ride? Consider shedding a layer
