Do rather prefer the eucalyptus impregnated tissues but they smear my goggles when I clean them, even before using them!
In a bit of a quandary here, should I switch to unimpregnated tissues or is there some way I can continue using my eucalyptus favourites?

@irie, is it beyond the wit of man to have tissues of each sort? why are you cleaning your goggles with a tissue anyway?

@Dr John, Bet Jesus had the same problem when he wept - which tissues to wipe his eyes with.

@Montana, Look, we're already doing Jesus, you don't need to bring God into it.

@irie, and his tears froze on his goggles, then he smeared them all over the place because he used an old j-cloth. Not even the lord is immune from these petty irritants.

@Dr John, nah, Jesus Wiped Tissues - Impregnated with holy water, they're strong enough for fathers and sons, yet soft enough for the holiest of ghosts.

@Dr John, I could use a J-cloth but I normally try to delegate that area of management to my wife. Are you suggesting she should wipe my goggle for me? Or does "wiping your goggle" have a slang meaning I'm not aware of?

@irie, hang on, you're saying you wipe your own goggles? I always have a goggle-wala travel with me. On the very few occasions I give them a day off of I ask a lifty to clean them for me, they're (almost always) very happy to oblige.

@Dr John, Now there's a thought, I could ask my goggle-wala to wipe mine with some tissues but I think she prefers doing that with a modicum of privacy.

You really shouldn't wipe goggles with tissue anyway. Always carry a small sheet of 300 grit wet-and-dry sandpaper and vigorously buff any smudges and smears away.
@Dr John, I think they prefer the term Goggle Caddy these days, and if you don't directly employ your own, it's well worth hiring one. They not only wipe for you, but carry additional lenses and a good one would offer constructive advice as to which lens to use depending on prevailing conditions. It goes without saying that you should always use a properly licensed and bonded Goggle Caddy, not some teenager hired by your tour operator or ski club to act as some kind of 'optical ambassador'.

@irie, I have ski-sleeves to stop scratching my topsheets (basically 2 massive buffs). They slow me down, admittedly, but my skis are box-fresh.

Ooh. Nasty. You'll not want to be scratching your topsheets. Isn't there a cream for that?

While you're working on them, why not replace the old steel edges for ones made out of Potassium. They'll sharpen easily and you'll never have to worry about losing them again!

Gloves for wiping your nose. That section between the index finger and thumb can get a bit stiff though...
