What wrong with a backpack ? I keep several pairs of Google and gloves and other goodies in my back pack.

Once your googles get to that stage there toast until they can be completely dried out. That's why I suggest having an extra set on hand to swap out with.

I riveted a mesh bag to the flat plastic on the top of the clutch cover...and as mentioned, BRP makes a nice padded goggle case that goes in the same place. Plenty of heat there, doesn't take long to dry them out.

You can certainly warm them up under the hood. And unless your taking an extended lunch they will be warm just not dry....Gloves are the same way.

WPS mesh bag
Bought a WPS mesh bag on ebay and zip tied it to the belt cover. Google's and gloves warm up and dry out in no time at all. Works sweet and the bag only cost $15. :israel:

We use these on various sleds. The price is right and your goggles are always warm and dry.

Under normal riding in one hour I can have a dry set of goggles under the hood. One big key to that. Before you put them in the bag knock off all the snow you can. In about an hour I can have a warm and dry set of goggles. So I just swap to my 2nd set for a while of riding and put my other ones back on after they dry. I always have at least two pairs with different lens anyway so to switch to the back-up color works for me.
But I have noticed that with all of the newer goggles now I don't have the fogging or icing issue that we used to have so there are many days that I never need this.

My best advice about googles is once there on your face leave them alone....and yes if your keeping your stuff under the hood and riding for an hour they very well could be 100% dry.

The Cat M series bag attaches to the clutch cover cleanly, also, the wps bag works well also.
Dry warm goggles are nice... I'll never not have a goggle bag again now that I'm used to it. An hour of riding & they're fresh & warm.

When I stop for lunch I open the PTO side panel and they fit perfect at the top of the clutch cover under the hood. Usually warm and defogged in a couple minutes.
Still works well with Diamond S hood? Would be great if it does as that will be my setup this year also. Thanks!
I found some $5 tool bags at Walmart. Zip tied two of them onto my clutch cover. They fit goggles or whatever else. I just zip the bag 1/2 shut so moisture can escape. Works for me. But as someone else said, quality goggles and being really careful makes it rare that I need it. My spare goggles were worn by riding buddies more than by me this last season.
i did this SAME thing with the SAME bag. (only i used rivets) it took 1 beer to install it and it worked awesome. dont let ol' double penetration guy sway your decision on this one. ill agree with him on the gloves not drying well......but you can make your goggles like new in no time.
and would you look at that.....a site sponsor even has them in stock https://www.gobigparts.com/WPS-Universal-Vented-Under-the-Hood-Storage-Bag.html

on the days when you really need them... it's just so so. if it's over hood for a good portion of the day the foam will still be wet, but I've been able to use them again after them being too far gone, so I guess I'd say they still work. I'm planning on putting some type of L shaped piece over them though so that they're not getting dripping from snow melt on them, should help a decent bit.

I'm just old school toss the wet ones in the backpack pull out the fresh one :face-icon-small-con
