 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, very new so be kind 
I have a pair of Oakley Flack Jackets which are super for all sports, skiing included - except for one trait - they tend to steam up when going slow / stopped (ie - no air flow)
I was wondering if I could use any form of de-misting spray / wipe like I would for motor cycle helmets? Or would these break the oakley lens coatings ?
Cheers,
Z

I've got some Rainx Anitfog for my car and that works well. I was wondering about taking this with me skiing this season for this reason. Hopefully someone will have tried it already and know whether it's worth bothering or not.

zacherynuk, I just wash mine occaisionally in shampoo or washing up liquid if they get foggy or grimy and get a bit obsessive about cleaning them. However, I find that like Beani1 says, keep moving and they don't steam up

I use rain x anti-fog on Oakleys no problem with coatings

Cheap and cheerful solution
I don't know if there is something special going on with Oakleys that would mean it was inapporpriate to use (maybe if you have expensive goggles you ought to check), but as a general rule if you rub goggle or spectacle lenses with a little washing up liquid on the inside and then polish (and it polishes well) with a dry cloth you generally leave behind a sufficient residue of soap to break the surface tension on the water and prevent the build up of the microdroplets which are usually what cause the fogging.

there is a cheap product called 'cat crap' which you rub onto the lenses and polish away. does a good job of helping to prevent fog.
remember to keep snow out of your goggles, especially around the air vents. leave your goggles on at all times, people who lift them off onto their torques/helmets while riding a lift are WAY more likely to fog up since they are allowing moisture to get on the inside of the goggles.

Thanks for the replies...
Unsure trust Rain X - "Note: Not intended for use on plastics, painted, treated or coated surfaces" ...
Will try a liberal detergent wash though, that may help...
