Just got wind of this

BILTIT...

Have you ever tried a product called No Fog...it's a silly looking contraption that you wear around your nose/neck which directs your breath downward out of the helmet (thus not into the goggle area).

I get them from like Dennis Kirk and I believe they are the sole reason I do not have fogging issues. All my buddies do...but with my No Fog device on I can wear the same set of goggles all day long Yes I look like a chicken gobbler or something...but I sure can see when other guys' are fogging like crazy!

I tried probably 3 different 509 goggles back in the 2011 season and I had awful luck with any of them. They would always fog up then end up getting iced over I even bought that fan you could put on your goggles that supposedly helped with fogging. Nope didn't help. I've been rocking spy goggles now since and love them I've also tried some Oakley goggles and was impressed with those as well. I think the 509 goggles look awesome but after going through 3 I won't try them again. I think this years 509 film was a little boring as well but I'll still buy next years 509 movie because it always gets you excited for winter. If 509 improves their goggles or maybe they are improved maybe I would try another pair.....maybe. To each their own.

I have not tried that, i do use this though:

Its a little warm some days in the mountains (i usually just take it off). Works great for the -15C and colder rides here in the prairies though.

Another option to look at is Smith. Quality optic company, lifetime warranty on material defects and workmanship, and made in the USA.

I'll be trying out the I/O X model this season.

love my dragons and i'm a goggle snob. i've had them all and come from 3 decades of motocross....all mx guys are goggle snobs.

i agree the 509's feel second rate to the big players (oakley, scott, smith). Dragons are in that group also IMO. quality stuff.

LOL to all the Doos plastered with 509 stickers trying to dangle.

The Dragons are as close to fog free as any goggle that I have tried. Light years better than Scott or any others that I have used. I also tried the Klim goggles after much hype when they came out. They sucked so much that I took them back. It was disappointing given how well everything else that Klim makes works.

I've had pretty good luck with 509s, I'm only on my second pair in like 5-6 years and first pair still work fine. Only time I really get fog is if I leave them on when digging out a sled or somethin strenuous like that.

I haven't used some of the other big name brands but id have to say some of the best no fog goggles I've used were the old Scott turbo flows back in the day, dont remember ever having much problems with them

Seriously, give this a try...

I don't wear the silly red thing over the top, but if I wear it goggles don't fog whatsoever! Second I take it off in the trees I fog up!

I'm happy for 509 since it is a local company (60 miles from where I live) but I had terrible fogging and tossed my 509 goggles. Had good luck with Smith, Dragon, and now Scott. Actually love my Scott's.

Everybody should look at the Dragon goggles. They are, without a doubt, the best snowmobile goggle I have ever had. I have two pair. I took all of my other goggles to the second hand sporting goods store.

X1000 I have 4 pairs of dragons. There frameless aviator style, different tint/shade lense ect. I carry 1 pair In my cooker, which I rarely ever need!! (Only if my helmet falls off the bars or something or pow days. Otherwise one pair all day!! No fogging. Price can't be beat. And come with a nice cloth bag and hard case. I'll never use anything else!! Fit with my fly helmet is great

Little known secret, I have three pairs and they work great for me!!!

I've had a pair of 509s that I got when they first came out and that's the only pair off goggles that really have worked for me. Though they still fog and ice up from time to time. Since then though, none of the 509s have worked for me. They have all fogged in about 2min

Everybody is different when it comes to lens color, I am constantly surprised when I am selling goggles at shows.

...has anyone tried the Judged Gear? Looks well made, just haven't seen any in person...

Wife and I both hate the 509's. Worst fogging goggles we ever had. Mine fog up going down trail. Never had any other goggle do that. Not even cheap ones.

Klim goggles are not any better. IMHO

Got a couple gift cards for Christmas. May give some dragons a try. They sell them at the local sports store.

I've used were the old Scott turbo flows back in the day, dont remember ever having much problems with them

I still run them and have about 5 pair laying around- they came with the lower nose / breath deflector and still are the ones I ride with today-
Have tried most 509's- Haber Vision and the NEW Klim $200.00 bones for their fogging goggles/ all gone- dug the old turbo flow's out and not looking for nothing else-

I will say that the fan you could buy from Haber vision that mounts in the upper inside of your goggles worked well in keeping the fog off if you can just stand the noise of the on/off of the fan in the auto position.

Same here I'm a goggle freak I have Oakley,Klim,509,Stage,Spy,Scott,Smith and Daredevil and find myself always going back to my over 7 year old Scotts with transition lens (clear to blue) I wish they still made this lens.

My fav pair of googles is my color changing scotts, I am not sure why they stopped making that lens. Mine has to be close to 10yrs old and still works great, they are getting scratched up though.
