Zeal
Look at Zeal optics - polarized and photochromatic - I've never has mine fog up. They are a bit pricy, but I find I wear them non stop. When you are socked in on the mountain - I don't think anything works well - just get the he** off the hill till it blows over. Not fun when you are stuck on the mntn overnight due to weather...

i use polarized amber glasses in my goggles and you don't have the problem with flat light conditions,
Find some goggles that look good, fit very good, and no matter what the cost of the lenses, I think that the polarized ones are worth the money. You don't realize how good they are until you get some and then take them off or switch goggles while you are on the hill. That is my opinion.
Dragon
Dragon has poalrized lenses for both their Rouge and Mace Goggles. These are snowboard goggles so make sure they fit in your hemet good. The Mace goggles fit in m Fox helmet.

Light sensitive changes tint with lighting conditions, polarized goggles give depth to shadows and low spots - essentially they enhance contrast and make the image you see clearer. I will tell you that the Zeal goggle has both of these features - and they have NEVER fogged up on me or my wife in 2 years of riding. I do not apply anti-fog of any kind to these goggles - they just work. They are at the high end of the cost spectrum, but worth every penny. I've quit carrying spare goggles, and I used to ride around with 6 pair in my backpack...look them up on the net: zealoptics.com

Just got mine from Habervision I've been wearing them around in my backyard like a freak. Got a good deal thru SW. Can't wait to check them out on the snow.

Thanks for the info, that helps a lot. What model do you have? Which one fits a helmet the best? Thanks, Dave
Detonator
I have the detonator carbon goggle. I've not tried the spherical style, as I think those are designed for no helmet. I replaced the goggle strap with quik-straps (personal preference). Wife has the same goggle - as a matter of fact, she is the one that initially purchased a set based on the anti-fogging. At the time I thought she was crazy to spend that much on goggles, now I own a set because they work.

They have a money back guarantee as well.
I wear a MBRP helment $400 helment full face with Quick strap and i use Yellow for a tint! it work's perfect! in all condition's.
one thing to be careful of....polarized lenses generally don't work well with the new type of speedo/instrument packages on the new sleds, because you can't see some of the numerals or warning lights....look thru a set of polarized lenses at a gas pump with the new electronic displays...frequently you have to raise the glasses to see the pump display....notice the same thing in my aircraft with the new glass cockpit...had to get rid of the polarized lenses to see all the stuff i needed to
