What's the best reasonably priced goggle out there that works well for snowmobiling with a helmet and won't fog up? I'm beginning to think there isn't such a thing... Are there any anti-fog solutions that work extremely well?
I'm sick of my goggles fogging up...input?

509's goggles look like they're going to work pretty good, and right now their only $50 plus you get their latest DVD free
For the last three years I have used an open face helmet and a pair of Arnette proframes blue and a pair of Oakley A frames (20-30 rides a year). No probs, no fog , nice fit. Just bought a pair of the 509 Sinister googles, and what a nice fit they are can't wait to try them.
All depends on the shape of your nugget!!!

No-Fog. works great!
Most good thermal lense goggles will work fine. The main thing is keeping the inner lense dry. Like it says above, set the goggles under your hood when you stop, it works well. Fans & heaters work too. My buddy uses a full face w/a heated shield. It stays fog free but it's too heavy for my taste.
A dual pane lens is a must. If not, you will be fighting fog from the start.
Oakleys are awesome but are not reasonable. The other key is to let them completely dry out after riding and don't ever touch the lens with anyone other than the google pouch.
x2 on the 509's...great reviews so far and anxious to try mine out.
Scott turbo flows, and don't take them off without putting them under your hood.

Oakley Crowbar's or O Frames with dual pane lenses. Crowbars are what I ride with, you just can't get clear dual panes for em though.
You need a good fitting nose guard. My snocross helmet has it built in and it works really well. I have a descent pair of googles which didn't work as well in my old helmet that didn't have the nose/breathe guard
like r9559 said, get the nose piece that fits into your helmet(i permanantly attached mine) and also a set of roko quick straps. I find this solves the problem 95% of the time. I also pack a couple extra pairs for the other 5% when they do fog up. good anti fog also helps. I use spy blizzards, and have a couple pair of 509 goggs on the way. with the nose piece, you can pretty much keep your goggs on and they will not fog.
I think most dual pane thermal lense goggles are built very similar. I had the same problem your having for years until I bought a pair of OTG's. These are the "over the glasses" model that puts the lense a little farther from your face (deeper frame). They fit in your helmet the same as all the others. I had a pair of Smiths until I wore them out, then bought a pair of Scotts. I haven't had a fogging problem in years.
My Oakley's never fog up on me......if I were you id get one of those nose guards
I've never bought any of the pricier goggles, but I've found that no matter what I do they will fog if I have them on when I'm not moving. If I keep riding (even if its slow) so that there is always air flowing I don't have a problem. If you stop even briefly I have to take them off.
I have a couple pairs of spy's and they work great. The ones I use the most are the blizzards and i have no fogging.
just pony up the cash. i had same problem, bought 160.00 pair of ski goggles, problem solved. trust me...its well worth it.
