Tips to Stop the Goggle Fog
Are your goggles driving you bonkers with fog? Try this:
- Keep your goggles warm before using them. Transfer them from the car, from inside your jacket or from a backpack. Room temperature is fine but don’t put them out in the snow for any reason. Let them be the final thing you put on (right before your gloves).
- Don’t excessively wipe them, they have anti-fog coating on them already so can de-fog themselves once you get on a chairlift or start riding if they’re only a little bit foggy.
- Invest in good quality goggles that fit well on your face with decent venting around the face area (so you’re not breathing into your goggles).
- Take care your goggles aren’t too tight. Find the sweet spot and leave them like that.
- Don’t take them off or put them on repeatedly.
- Don’t put your goggles on top of your head / helmet.
- Bring them inside at night and after each day on snow so they dry out completely.
- Don’t touch them, especially on the inside. If the top gets wet take them into the bathroom and use the air dryer but never touch the inside lens especially.
- Buy a google cover to prevent scratches. Scratches aren’t fog but they’re annoying and a goggle cover just uplevels the good care of them and keeps them looking good.
- Different brands vary in venting, shape, quality and nose shape area so shop around and get ones fitted to your face that work best for you.
