Hi.my ski goggles keep frosting up after every run.i got the special anti ice lenses. but not helping.reasons?

Question

downhill skiing

-25degC outside temp.

Answer 1

This will never work. After years of skiing I found that only good air flow will keep them fog free. the trick is too take them off your eyes after each or a few runs and place them just above on your forehead. they have to be placed on the edge of your hat, as to allow even a tiny air flow into the goggles. If you can get this technique to work for a few consecutive runs on a powder day you are doing well. they just need to be kept cool and take them all the way of wipe them clean on the lift, keep air flow in them and just before you begin to take off developing a nice breeze, put them on and they will ventilate as designed. As soon as you stop moving take them off leaving a slight air gap to keep them cool and free of condensation. That's a tough one and even tougher to explain. Good luck

Answer 2

dont  cover your nose and mouth unless it is really cold.  its probably your breath thats fogging up your goggles

Answer 3

the problem could come from taking the goggles off after each run. You have to leave them on when it's cold.

Answer 4

im a scuba diver and a snowboarder.

rinsing them with baby shampoo  (johnsons) works for me

and my snowboaridng goggles have little air vents, if yours dont that could be the problem.

Answer 6

that is exactly what is happening

it happens to me all the time

it happened today

the only thing i can recomend is stop covering your nose

Answer 7

not sure it would work but scuba divers use a thin layer of toothpaste and rinse it out before diving, keeps it from fogging up and doesn't hurt the lens. Who knows?
