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.
