Does anyone have a good goggle set up? I can't seem to find a setup that won't fog. I've used both a Moto X style ehlmet with goggles and a full face mask helmet and both were so bad I had to stop and warm them up on the engine every few miles.
I can't see, WTF

Find a MX helmet that has a good breath deflector that fits tight to your face and is open on the bottom. Get a set of good goggles (absolutly must be double lensed) that fit tight to your face and have thick foam.
When you stop take your goggles off or put them on your helmets face protector so they don't get hot and foggy.
Keep a face cloth on your pocket so you can wipe them dry if they do fog or get wet.

Get a no-fog, it's the only way to go. I can't drive w/o fogging the windshield in my truck, but I can ride w/ one of these and not fog my goggles.

Lots of goggle makers have goggles specifically for snow. They put an anti-fog coating on that seem to work really well. The only bad thing is that it does ware off with time, and wiping them a lot will make it ware off faster. I've got a pair of smith goggles with the anti-fog coating that have a fan on top, and so far I've been pretty happy with them. Smith says that you should keep your goggles on all the time so the inside lens doesn't get cold enough for it to ice up, so when I take them off I put them under the hood to keep them warm. So far so good.
i run an mx style hjc with the 509 films goggles and have yet to fog yet this season....last year i ran a polaris shielded helmet but took the sheild off and put smiths on there and i think i ruined 3 pairs of goggles cause they didnt fit right and were always fogging up
with the 509 goggles i have never seen a better fit jmo

the no fog thing would work great for robbing liquior stores. I wear an Mx helmet and good goggles I have smith,scott,oakley,spy,dragon and they all work about the same. I have a dry pair under the hood if things get really bad (usually once someone get stuck and you take all your stuff off to help dig out, then you are all sweaty and stuff) I put the wet pair under the hood and hopefully they will be dry by the time the next guy gets buried or I drop them in the snow and they get snow inside. Dual lenses are a must and I do not wipe them down until they are dry and I use lens cleaner/anti fog stuff. they last longer. I buy spare lense when I can find them on e-bay or at ski shops (they want to sell you new goggles)

It's not the goggles... it's your hot air!
Get one of these:

Yes get a No-Fog mask & whatever googles you wear make sure they're not single lens. Like someone said get goggles made for the cold.
I just did 90 miles in -30 weather. Riding in the dark, I put on my clear goggles and almost instantly they iced up. So....ride a mile-stop & scrape-repeat. Doh! They're single lens. I wasn't paying attention when I bought them.
Put on my daytime red double-lens goggles and no icing. I lost a bit of night vision but I could see clearly.

I am going in for lasik surgery next month. I picked up a new set of 509's as a present to myself. Can't wait to start riding without glasses.

I love my 509's was kinda skeptical about ordering them but when i got them they are awsome. Was riding the other day and one of my buddies got stuck, dug him out with my goggles on and they didn't fog. With the extra foam and nose guard they have an awsome seal around your face.
scott turboflows, i like the amp blue lenses, i can keep my goggles on while im just standing around without them foggin up. they are the only goggles that dont fog for me. not as trendy as the 509s but they work. good luck
Love my 509's... havent fogged them up yet..
really? When we were at GL Saturday, it was -5 and couldn't keep defrosted or warm without anything. . .
I have the same goggles without the same results. I haven't found the perfect setup yet myself. Thinking of adding a fullface with full shield to my gear for those colder days.
Hey Ollie, let me know how that surgery goes for you. Just went today and am tryin contacts. 5hrs so far really like them,and hope they work when I get to go ride. They lasik sure looks inviting, but I'm 41 so I think I can hold off on the high dollar surgery and put that money on a new sled,LOL
I sweat too much also, but I also wear glasses, all I can do is use a full face and run with it half open. Everytime I have to stop I have to take off the helmet immediately. Couldn't even think of not having a breath guard.
