Goggles . . .

[robrules]

I used to have fogging problems all the time. People would tell me to leave them on my face and not put them on my helmet, but that did not work for me. Going top to bottom without stopping and wearing a helmet, I get pretty heated up, my face starts to sweat and the heat/moisture would fog them up. So when I'm not riding, I take them off my face - unless its a day like yesterday where it was cold enough that I don't sweat. The gondola just f*** them all up - whether I leave them on or take them off, so I avoid gondolas when possible.

You're gonna need to prepare your goggles with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. Then you will need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

I still have fogging problems - especially when I wear a face mask. I have difficulty breathing through my nose with goggles on and when I have a mask on, the exhaled air seems to go straight up to my goggles. When it's real cold, that moisture condenses and freezes on the inside of my goggles. That's so much fun! On the other hand, I don't seem to have much trouble with the gondola - sure the outside fogs up when I'm in the gondi, but once I step outside, it quickly clears up.

I rarely have goggle fogging issues. The go on my face warm in the condo and stay on all day. If its a high moisture content day (wet snow) the inside of my goggles will partially fog but as soon as I get moving, they clear right up.

Moisture inside the goggle on cold days is the biggest problem, cuz it freezes before the fog clears. Most wet snow days arent cold enough for this to happen, and usually occurs from a fall causing snow to get inside.

Foggy days can be tough because the air venting in may be just as moist or moister than whats in there already fogging things up.

I do everything reasonably possible to keep moisture out of the inside of my goggles. Breath out nose only. Don't tuck headsocks, neck gaiters, or face masks under the goggle foam. Clear ice from outside of lenses (causes condensation inside). Make sure vents are open and unobstructed by snow, helmet, clothing. Leave goggles on at all costs.
