    Best Goggles with a Fullface

    I know fogging up with a Fullface is somewhat unpreventable, but my shitty oakleys just suck...

    I've been told Triads are the best bet, what do the mags think???

    I have had good experiences with the Scott Messenger. It has worked better for me than the triad. Cheeper too.

    A-Frames/Wisdoms or Triads. I have both and they're just fine.

    My a-frames fogged w/ my SC (they also dont slowly peel all the foam away from the forehead section over the course of 50 or so days cause of the shape of my forehead) so i bought some triads and have been home fogfree ever since.

    My Scott G-Six fit with my full-face and haven't fogged yet.

    Plus they're not very expensive, have a really wide field of view, and I like the Amplifier tint (second only to the Briko photochromic rose, IMO, for definition on bad vis days).

    I'd like to try the Light Amplifier lens but I'm afraid it'll be too light on sunny days.

    i find that i have a really fucking sweaty face. my shit will fog on every uphill. triads foged as much as my other smiths (forget the modle). i need to pack two pair on storm days or if i'm hiking. i want the smiths with the fan, thats the ticket right there.

    Why are you hiking in a full face helmet?

    Colo ski and golf had older triads for 45 bucks a few weeks ago...I should've picked some up.

    I just assumed based on the level of radness around here.

    Like Basom say's, two googles... I have a fogging problem and it's the only way to get around it.

    the new smith prodigy is good too. i was rocking em at baker this weekend in the rain, no problems. even after i stacked and got snow in em, a simple tap out and wipe took care of em. my oakelys wisdoms would have been screwed if that had happend.

    do you feel any vibrations from the fan? i am over stimulated as it is, so that might be a concern.

    You might take the visor (if it has one) off - I found that did the trick. I ski with glasses - I have two pair of Turbo CAM's (one as a spare, I got them reasonably cheap) and a couple of other goggles (I stick one in my pack). The Turbo CAM's with the fan are by no means bombproof - for what they cost, they should make me coffee and fetch my paper in the morning.

    i like the visor off on mine too. as for the triads, they fog inbetween the two lenses if you get sweaty one day and don't bring them in to dry out (like most goggles). on cold days it is just controlled breathing while you are not moving. skideepow had the hookup on these lenses.
