- I am a racer and thus wearing goggles are a necessity. Furthermore I
- cannot wear contact lenses and thus I am in the same boat. The ONLY
- thing that works for me (and believe me, I have been fogged more times
- at the gate than I care to admit) is to put on your goggles BEFORE YOU
- GO OUTSIDE. Believe it or not, if I put on my goggles in the lodge,
- and NEVER take them off my face, I don't get fog. The instant I take
- them off, and then put them on, fog city. I think it's because my
- glasses and my goggles need to be at the same temperature to not fog
- and when I take them off, then put them back on, there is a
- temperature difference between the two, and thus instant fog. So, my
- advice is stop buying all that crap that doesn't work (I've tried all
- those that you mentioned too, they never work) and just put them on in
- the lodge. Oh, and I have Bolle goggles that are made for glasses
- (they have a bit more space inside and slots for the arms) and they're
- ok ("glasses goggles" can be quite expensive...these were the
- cheapest), in case you're wondering which goggles I use. Good luck!
