Can anyone help me find a goggle that doesn't fog? I have 3 sets of Oakley A frames and they all fog up. They are terrible. Worst goggle ever made. If you like to venture off the slopes. I don't recomend anyone buying a set of these. My buddy has a set. of Smith Phenom's he sais are pretty good. Should I pull the trigger and buy a set. Any help?

I unfortunately have this problem with goggles too. I finally went and purchased some of the Smith Turbo Fan series goggles. They work really well. Unfortunately, they are extremely fragile. I have owned two pairs and both of them had the fan control rip off at the wire during a small tumble(and this is a tumble in powder, nothing packed down),
That said, while they work great, I cant justify a goggle that is going to break on the first tumble. I am now looking for something to replace these that will work with some sort of effectiveness.
If you can afford it, get some Smith Turbo-Fan goggles.

Plus, there are some older Smith Cascade Turbo's on Ebay. But they are big !
...and the K2 One goggle sounds good

(Took just over a week to get my Prodigy's back)
EDIT: The repair place is in Clearfield UT, even
Do they work with a fullface? I've considered just ditching the fullface on moist days to save the angst and saving things that necessitate a fullface for better weather that would eliminate fog issues. A shop guy at Kirkwood told me he has a pro-tec fullface and can't wear any goggle, even the smith turbo fan goggles, with it on moist days because of fog. I have a Giro remedy which fits a lot better.
Wisdoms suck with a fullface.
Oh yeah... TECH TALK ROOKIE BEEHOTCH!
Thanks Dog!
did you wipe the inside?
Nice! I wonder if they would repair both of my pairs since it wasn't exactly a manufacture defect...just really weak ass wires in them break with the slightest tug on the control unit and suddenly *poof* the control unit is gone, lost in the snow somewhere.Quote:

I've had good luck with most smiths and scott's but if you are eating shit left and right then they're gonna be wet, and fog. bring extra goggles or lenses for when you begin eating poo.
Anyone have any luck with the anti-fog products, such as Cat Crap?
I tried cat crap last year before getting the smith turbo fans...I didn't notice any difference...goggles still fogged.Quote:

Great logo though :redface:
Thinking about it, you prolly should get and try a Smith-Cloth (anti-fog) before you spend $$'s on new goggles. Only costs a few bucks.
Just make sure it's not one from last season, you want a nice fresh one

I've never had good luck with those Smith cloths and I've tried them many times, I think I just overwhelm them with my massive sweatiness since other people speak well of them. The Parker's Perfect stuff (link above) does work well for me though.
Those Smith Clothes can help if you occasionally fog, but if your a headsweater like me... not much help.
I haven't tried the spray on anti foggers yet though.
Shoe, don't forget to put a couple of snickers bars and crap in with the goggles. I have always done this, and Smith's warranty department has always hooked me up... even with questionable fault items. Let them know that you appreciate their help:wink:Quote:

They are expensive, but the Smith warranty kicks ass...so that makes up for it. The optics are good and come in many different shades. By the time you bought those three pairs of Oakleys, you could have purchased your Smith Turbo.
If you are touring or walking, just bring some sunglasses along, and wear those...
There are obvious things like venting the rest of your body to prevent over heating. Open or zip neck so heat can escape on the way to your head/face. Nothing over the mouth/nose that would direct moist air from your mouth/nose onto the goggles.
well, both pairs of my Smith turbo fans are now on their way to smith's warranty dept. Hopefully they will just replace them...if not, provide a low cost replacement controller to the fan.
UPS for shipping=rip off.
