Is there such a thing as a fog free goggle!!!

[800poodragon]

We've been in powder all year and the fogging thing is really getting old. I almost totaled my sled because I could'nt see SH!T!!!! I've got the newest Scott goggle and after a few over the hood powder plunges they fog and the he!! begins. One of my riding partners has the type made for glasses and they seem to do better. I don't care how much they would cost I just need to see.

Mine.......

goggle

i use smith OTG, PMT cascades, $30 snowest price at the Boulder Army store in Boulder,CO 303-442-7616, they ship, ask for shannon or lenny.....the extra room provided to go over glasses helps, cat crap helps sometimes, i use it but it's not really that great, the powered goggles with the fan fog just the same for me plus they are delicate, first ride with them and a tree branch ripped off the battery pak......upon stopping i immediately remove goggles and have a little nylon bag tethered to the dash for them while stopped, tried the underhood thing but they just get soaked with steam from the snow that enters the vents on the hood.....foggin sucks!

I have no issues with my Dragons. My dad has issues with his though. From what we can tell his helmet does not let his goggles go althe way tight to his face like mine does.

SPY!! By FAR the best goggles I've tried and I've tried most of the popular brands.

Another vote for the Smith turbo fan. It will even keep them clear while digging out a stuck sled.

Oakley Crowbars, I had smith but they fell apart when I tried to put them over my helm. The crowbars have yet to fog on me, unless I move my breath deflector and breath up in them, and even then it's just my breath, and it goes away very fast. I also use cat crap, but just on the outside to clean em.

The good thing about the crowbars is they have a long strap, with like a rubber grip so they don't move around on your helm. There is also a specific snowcross crowbar.

Prior to the crowbars, I was always carrying a spare set of googles in my bag.

These will not fog!

I bought a pair of ZEAL goggles for my better half at a sled show as she has a problem with all goggles fogging. These do not and have not - whether you breathe on them or not. They are a darker lens though - not sure if they make a lighter tint. They are expensive too - I'm too cheap to buy a pair for myself.

they are all fog free until you take them out of the box! use antifog wipes on mine but they still fog. throw mine under the hood everytime we stop we its snowing.

We are using the Scott goggles, but, we have better luck changing the lens to a non-vented lens. We also rub on the anti-fog on the way to the hill. Also, on deep powder days, we have started removing the helmet visor. If you take a big faceful, more of the snow goes over the helmet instead of caking on the goggles. It doesn't look as cool, but it seems to work on deep powder days better. The suggestion came from my riding buddy Jon.

From my experience, wipe off the inside of your goggles every time you have a hint of an issue. If there is no moisture inside your goggles you shouldn't fog up. A little "maintenance" during the day goes a long way.

I have used my new 509's for the first time the last 2 days... I've tried to make them fog, you know while riding down the trail and trying to keep your face warm by blowing up towards your nose? I can't make them fog. When you stop, you'll probably fog...

Funny thing... I have a 10 yr. old set of Scott turbos that have been through five sleds, millions of face shots, trees, mild wrecks, major wrecks, complete YARD SALES, ran over, melted and face planted into a tree that put a crack in the original lense (and broke my nose)... and they NEVER... EVER FOG! Yes, I still ride with the original amber lense! A few scratches... but never an issue.

 

[Hotboat]

I resealed my breathgard and it was much better. I went all Day and no issues. The snow wasn't as deep but I could tell the deflector was doing its job . Thanks for all the input guys

website for zeal goggles

yamaha to the rescue

Get a Phazer windshield from the early 80s, mount it 1 foot in front of your face and the top of it even with the bottom of your nose. ( mounts attached to helmet ) Don't slow down below 20 mph, don't look sideways, if something finds its way into eyes after that try squinting or blinking or closing eyes all together and following your buddies pipe noise.

I already tried that.......and your right I did get snow in my eyes and had to follow my buddies pipe noise.....or what I thought was my buddies sled but I noticed it didn't sound right....so.....I ....thought ...to....me.....self.......it must be some poor guy who just blew a rod or something......It sounded like a cat farting in a tin can!!!!! So i stopped and cleared the snow out of my eyes and it turned out it was just some guy on a Yamaha........
