Oakley Inferno Heated Goggles. Oakley: PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!

I made a video of my helmet setup and show you my Oakley Inferno Heated goggles. They are the best goggles I've ever tried (I have a silly amount of goggles from trying to battle fogging over the past 20 years Klim, 509, Oakley, etc). I just wish the Oakley's had a nose guard for cold days when there's a long trail ride from the truck to the riding area. I am able to use the breath box on my helmet and my balaclava to cover the little exposed area on the bridge of my nose.
I also have a pair of 509 Sinister X6 Ignite Heated goggles with a nose guard. I'll wear those on the coldest days until I get to the backcountry, then I'll switch to my Oakleys - they are just that much better at not fogging, easier to turn them on, much better lenses - Prism Polarized. So good in flat light.

Which goggles have you had the best luck with? Do you need heated goggles to prevent fogging? Put your answer in the comment below the video. Subscribe too! Thanks.

I thought about getting some 509 Ignite goggles last year, but after checking them out in person I was not a fan of the weight of the battery pack. I sweat a lot and buying a set of really high end ski/snowboard goggles (Smith I/07) several years ago was the best decision I made. They retailed for $300 way back then, but the anti-fog and optics with a spherical, variable thickness lense and polarized Chromapop (Smith's version of Oakley's polarized tech) finishes made them worth it. Also good in flat light compared to anything I've had before. Gives me the impression that there is just more development put into the ski/snowboard products.
