Stop goggles from fogging?

[Sledgirl]

i find that if i am fogging up, i just need to speed up to get some extra air flow!!!!

I find that also, as long as it doesn't ice the fog.

The last time I nearly fogged up, I saw the "American Crew" dudes coming toward me, over the horizon, so I got the heck outa DODGE!!!!!

too funny. good posts and great ideas on the anti-fog. i was told to buy a pair of the SPY goggles "they work the best" well the first exhale and they were fogged. i have tryed 3 different types of googles and yes the double works the best... also i know in scuba you spit in the goggles and they will not fog. but in the winter i think the spit would freeze lol.

went sleddin for three days this weekend tried three different approaches to try and not fog up.....bought a new "breathe deflector bilaclava" which was a waste of money......first tried a spray that did not help...then tried a cloth that you wipe gggles down with and that didn't help...BUT third day I tried shampoo, rub it on then wipe off gently, used with old $5 bilaclava and worked great!!! I think these products that are supposed to help are a waste of time and money.

I've found that the only time my goggles fogged up was when the balaclava became wet from breathing. So what I did was cut out some of the material over the mouth and nose area. Since then no fogging issues.

Like you I've tried all the other products too, I even tried the higher end BRP helmets.... I was never satisfied because at some point they would fog.....

I cut way down on goggle fog once I learned how it was happening. For myself most of the time I was fogged up was because I was overheating (not my sled) I found that the neck of my jacket was acting like a chiminey for hot air into my helmet and my head was wet from sweat. I started wearing gortex and I make sure I'm not overdressed. A good breath deflector is a must and double lens's. Theres also some anti-fog stuff out called "catcrap" works well but needs to be reapplied often.

I completely agree.

That's the single biggest thing I've found. If I'm too hot and sweating, my goggles will be totally fogged up. If you control your temp and you aren't sweating, you'll be amazed how clear your goggles stay, no need for fancy breath deflectors etc... I've learned the last few years that better gear and less of it is the way to go. Ride comfortable or a little on the cool side...

Now, when it's REALLY cold, there's not much you can do. Duct tape the exposed skin and give'er!

most goggles come with anti fog stuff on them, but when you use your fingers or gloves to remove snow or mud or whatever it takes it off. they recomend that you only use the cleaning cloth that the goggles should hav come with.
