The coating on the inside of the lens will help with fogging. NEVER touch the lens with your fingers, napkins.... The only thing that should ever touch the lens is the bag they came in. When you want to clean the inside, dab at it with the bag, do not wipe it. You don't want to rub off the coating.
I'm sick of my goggles fogging up...input?

Keep in mind that your googles can only fog if you get moisture in them. Check your face mask and nose piece to make sure they are not letting your breath up into your glasses. I've run Scott googles with the nose piece and the Klim facemask for few years with no problems. I also have a pair of elec. googles for when is it's Night, 30 to 40 below and snowing. The elec. googles look kind of cheap, but they work when needed. I believe you can still get them at www.denniskirk.com.

i think im going to give the cat crap a try, but was curious if anyone had tried something like rain-x in the past?
Edit- are you guys using the cat crap stuff, using the spray or the stuff in the tin?

I personaly like the Oakley O-frames, fit very nice and are dual pane. And very reasonably priced, I paid anywhere from 35-54 bux.
Like mentioned above if you take them off put them under the hood, but what I have found is the more you take them off the greater the chance of getting snow in them, so when i stop for just a couple of mins I try and leave them on.

The guys I ride with give me a lot of static, but I've gone to a heated visor HJC. It's the same as a trail rider would use, but I can see down to about -25F. The extra weight is worth it. The cord is a pain when boondocking, but I found if I put the connector by the brake lever, it runs up my arm and doesn't get unplugged by the branches. JMHO.
same here, after buying 2 pairs of every kind of goggle and still fogging..I use electric sheilds.....have for 8 yrs...might wear goggles on spring bear hunts but thats about it anymore...
I use Pleage Wipes, come in a small resealable storage bag. use cat crap sometimes too. If I get good and stuck work up a good sweat and also get some snow in them pretty much gonna fog till you cool down a bit. I am ordering a mesh bag for under the hood to keep a spair set. Should be all good..
Www.Habervision.com I use the Prima For over the glasses. 165$ msrp. On sale for 65$ hurry and get these. I never Fog. Never. no nose gaurd.
that is the best piece of advice. if you do rub off the coating, you can use like a scott fog cloth, or the clarity dry fog cloth. i finally ponied up the cash for some scott turbo fan's, that was the best money ever spent, i would pay twice as much for them now. the over the glasses ones, are the best, wider field of vision. you can dig a sled out with these and just turn the fan to hi, and no fog.
I've been riding for about 15 years and here is the best advise on goggles. #1 Keep the inside of your goggles dry. Do Not take them off your helmet UNLESS they are beyond help then put them under your hood. Then when you take them out of your hood put them on your helmet being carefull to keep them dry. Let the helmet sit top up to let the goggles cool to the weather. Warm goggles will stick snow to them. #2 When you are wearing them on your helmet Do Not Put Them On Your Mouth Guard. All you are doing is putting moustire on the lense. #3 If you get stuck and you need to dig out do 1 of 2 things. leave your helmet on and breath out of your mouth blowing your breath away from your goggles. Breathing out of your nose at a heavy rate flexs your face and lets breath vapor in. The other is take your helmet off And put it in a location that the wind does not blow on the goggles AND THEY STAY DRY. I put mine in front of the handle bars behind the wind shield. Keep in mind a sweat build up is moisture in your goggles. If anybody [which any sledder has] driven in a snow storm and defrost causes more snow to stick to your wind shield than no heat, then goggles work the same way. Early years I tried heated shields and fan goggles and they didn't work. You might think this is bull$#!t but I have had the same pair of goggles for 3 years, never take a spare and have the pics that I am a XTREME rider. Give it a few rides. LEARNE IT, LIVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
509! Best I've ever owned!
Great advise, but riding is a snow storm I have still had trouble. I used a HJC helmet with electric sheild for many years and NEVER had a fog problem, even riding in freezing mist they would stay clear. I have had problems riding in GODS powder(as in very deep powder) my goggles freeze and fog. I have just purchased a set of electric goggles to try this comming weekend in the horns. I will reply with my opinion. thank you
I got a pair of 509's in Dec. not very impressed with them!!!!!got a pair of otg and they havent fogged up once. been riding in temps from 0C to -40C
Good advice. I see people all the time take their goggles off, leave them face down on their seat in the snow storm and then wondering why they're have moisture/fog issues. Or drop them in the powder. Little effort goes A LONG WAYS. You have to make an effort to keep moisture out from inside the goggle, no matter what brand you wear. Don't take them off unless you have to. If you do, shield them from getting snow inside the goggle. You'll be suprised how little fog issues you have when you make an effort keeping them dry.

I have oakley otg goggles... I find my glasses fog, not the goggles, I have a helmet with a pretty good breath deflector in it, I've tried without the chin curtain and with it... seem to fog more with it, but I only use it on the cold days and I only fog if I go really slow... I have a No-fog on the way as well... weeeeee
I've found that if I hold my breath they do not fog up, so, try not to breathe.
Seriously, I find I have to take them off every time I stop(quickstraps are nice). Maybe its because I breathe too hard, need to get in better shape. And I actually will put them on and not breathe until I am moving. Of course take care not to let snow ever get inside, and if they do get too wet, stop for awhile and put them under the hood. And of course I always carry spare goggles.
