yes and yes
works great!! just keep an eye on the battery cover. lost mine last year.
My fan didnt seem to help. I would seriously pay someone $500 for a pair of googles that was guarantied to never fog. I have tried everything and I still fog. I currently have a 509 helmet and googles.
In bold SO TRUE I know i would TOO!!
Same here..
I am going to try a different nose Piece to try and keep my breathin to a min.
Check out the new SkiDoo goggles....heated lenses, both plug in and lithium-ion battery/rechargeable. Less than $500.
The Haber/509 fans help quite a bit with good goggles.

Cool,here is the googles winter brew mentioned. I wonder if the helium electric wireless googles also work with the power cord or only the battery? Would be nice to have the option to use both.

Tommy: "Let's think about this for a sec, Ted. Why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmm. Very interesting."
Ted Nelson (Colin Fox): "Go on, I'm listening."
Tommy: "Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside."
Ted: "Yeah, it makes a man feel good."
Tommy: "Of course it does. Why shouldn't it? You figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the guarantee fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?"
Ted: "What's your point?"
Tommy: "The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? 'Building model airplanes', say's the little fairy. Well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. Next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up. I've seen it a hundred times."
Ted: "But why do they put a guarantee on the box, then?"
Tommy: "'Cause they know all the sold you was a guaranteed piece of bleep. That's all it is isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, you might want to think about buying a quality product from me."
Ted: "Oxay, I'll buy from you."
Tommy: "Well that's..."
Tommy and Richard: "What?"

I can wear a pair of goggles that fog up all day for another rider, without any issues.
It all comes down to dressing for the conditions. If your warm and toasty sitting on your sled.....your going to be over heating when exerting yourself riding.
I personally wear enough gear so that when I stop riding I am almost cold. If we are stopping for lunch, I need to throw on a mid layer and beanie....but those come right off before I ride.
There is no magical pair of goggles that can solve whats going on with the rest of your body. Dress for success and you will be happier with any goggle you are using.
IMO

And its about.. How you breath....
And what kinda shape your in too!!
Cleaning them with steam.. i think works the best to keep a GOOD set of goggles in good working order
Another??????
So when you put the Fan in.. Did you cut out all the Foam on the top?
I didn't because ... snow also would be pushing inside the goggles too... Snow gets packed in there.. after hitting a drift. or a drop. i hate when ice balls are hitting my eye balls! lol

I've never used the 509 fan, but have used a pair of smith turbo fan goggles for several years and have been very happy with them. Something else I have seen a lot of guys do is put their goggles over the mouth piece or up on their forehead everytime they stop. They are fogged up all the time. If I want them off when stopped, I'll take them completely off and if we're going to be there for a bit I put them under the hood to warm up.I very seldomly have any problems.
Try another helmet or look into what you are wearing. My brother has that helmet he has fogging problems with it as well. His old helmet, he doesn't.
It has been brought up but really you should be cold when you leave the truck/trailer. If you are already warm, once you get out there and start working you will be a sweating mess. I usually ride with a thermal shirt usually moreno wool and then my Klim jacket on top of that. I don't wear a balaclava either, unless it is sub-zero. For pants I wear long underwear and my out shell only pants. Sometimes I wear a set of basketball shorts usually so I can pull off the outside pants right away.
ya but i bet your googles doo
S
imo not worth the dough.

Of the people that are fogging up, how many are wearing something under their helmet or over their mouth? If you are creating that steam in your helmet it has to go somewhere I would think.
509s need the fan. thats all !
I would agree that makes sense but I have other goggles and 509s are a mess in minutes and the others I wear all day. I gave my 509s away
