 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have worn sunnies for many years when skiing in April, but noticed more and more folk wearing goggles.
I wonder if goggle ventilation has improved over the years? My current Oakleys are probably 10years old + and do steam up if I overheat skiing off piste on a snowy day.
Just wondering if modern goggles had improved ventilation and hence were less prone to steaming up??
Cheers,
Greg

Even cheapy goggs work fine with a helmet except if really weird humity levels in play. May be best not to hike with them on though.

Mine never fog and I'm quite a sweater!
Helmets have helped because you no longer put your goggles on your wet beanie on the lift etc.
It's worth trying some on IMO the biggest technology leap with goggles is spherical lenses. Love them.

Wow, did they use to be flat, like old dive masks? That must have been awkward.

Zero-G, as the cheaper ones are still, they are flat top to bottom and bent round to the shape of the frame whereas the slightly more expensive goggles now have pre shaped lenses (unsure on technical terms).

I use Oakley Crowbar and never had any issues with steaming up or fogging.
In fact, I was able to use them in bright sunshine in lieu of sunglasses.
In summary, Oakley Crowbar = win.

kitenski,
as others have said wearing goggles with a helmet makes a huge difference. Also I've ripped out the foam at the top and bottom of the goggles. I wear specs under my goggles and have never had problems with misting up, or snow getting in after ripping out the foam.

Never had a misting problem with the 2-pairs of Spy goggles I currently use (which are both a few years old). Do wear them with a helmet though, which does help a lot.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I have a helmet, perhaps the issue is only wearing them on days when it's dumping, so the google gets snow on it, which melts at lunch etc.
I see folk wearing goggles on hot spring days and always wondered how they don't steam up!

Never had a problem with my Crowbars. Must be about 100 days with them now.

You know it makes sense.

The main problem with goggles fogging up is when you put them on your forehead. But I find that mine quickly de-fog when I start skiing or just take them off for a while. The key is to never touch the inside lens when it is wet as this removes the anti fog coating. I've had hundreds of days in my Oakleys and had no problems.....
