Winter riding ideas for fogged glasses?   Message List

Re: Winter riding ideas for fogged glasses?

Update: I got the Smith Knowledge OTG Turbo Fan goggles, and they work
fine. Most of the time, the fan hasn't been needed yet, but when I'm
working hard and going downwind, it avoids even a hint of fogging.

The RC36 lens is $20 cheaper than the mirrored ones, and easier to
care for. Either way, also get an extra lens (Clear) if you'll be
riding any time other than in bright sun.

I just use $15.00 ski goggles and I ride in minus 45 Celsius wind chills. Get ones with soft foam around the edges as it breathes and stops fogging. Use amber...
