Hmm
What I have seen is that the Heated Lens vaporizes the humidity off the inner lens and the fan removes the humidity from the trapped internal airspace.

The goggles
I haven’t specifically tried a 509 helmet but there’s 3 other guys in our group running them in several different helmets. FLY, Klim and a CKX.
No issues.
Where’s the battery?
How long does it last?
I've been (im)patiently waiting for these to come back in stock this fall. Every review I read of these last year was positive--from battery life to ease of use. Sounded like these truly are put them on and it "just works", without having to mess with any operation modes.
The Klim's are intriguing, and I'd consider them if they are better than the 509 Ignite and Ignite 2.0's I already own. But they are similar enough design-wise to the original 509 Ignite's, and with the price of the Klim vs Tempest, that I'm still leaning the Tempest route.
Have one full season with the Tempest heated goggles. Awesome units. Magnetic lens attachments. Battery is hidden and integrated into the side of goggles, you barely notice them. Charge with a common USB-C. Put them on and forget about them. No mode buttons to push. There are integrated sensors that detect moisture and turn the heating element on. Shut off on their own. Never had any battery issues after a 6 hour ride in storm conditions, only had one day of them fogging up but that day was an epic wet storm. They work! Price was $200 for a pair. Maybe wish field of vision was a bit wider but that might be my only complaint. Wore them with a 509 Altitude helmet, good fit.
I have a pair of Abom goggles which was/is a company out of Oregon and they’re now Tempest. I loved the fact that there’s no external battery and cord.
Work great. Biggest reason I got them was not having a cord to get hung up on whatever.

My new pair of Tempest googles arrived today. Went with the Photochromatic Infinity lens. Really looking forward to using them. The magnets holding the lens to the frame seem way stronger than the 509 Aviator Ignite 2.0's. They also seem to seal really well with my Fly helmet, compared to either of my 509 Ignites. The lens seems to be more clear to start with than the 509 photochromatic lens. Took them outside briefly, and didn't seem to darken, but not sure how long it takes to do so (hoping I didn't end up with just a clear lens, packing slip said photochromatic). Was on the fence about ordering a yellow lens too (what i usually wear), but am hoping this photochromatic lens is good for all conditions.
I did see the Klim eFire goggles at a dealer last weekend. They seem like a very nice goggle as well. Quality seems better than the 509s, especially the cable running from the lens to the battery pack. Came down to cost and usability for me going with Tempest--not having to deal with different heat modes should be a welcome change.
