seemore 66 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hi Everyone Do double lens goggles work? Any recommendations? All single lens that I have used fog up. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Double lenses work awesome. I have a few pairs of Oakley Wisdoms. They no longer make them but the A-frames are great and the Splice also look really good. Certainly not cheap but worth every penny!! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Oakley, Smith, Dragon, all work great for me. Check steepandcheap or tramdock for GREAT deals!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Double lens definitely the way to go. Try on a bunch of different brands, since the face fit will vary from model to model. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 None out yet complete with air-conditioning and wipers? Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Swans (Osaka) used to make a pair with a fan on top with a switch at one corner and the battery on the other... not sure if they still do. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Ezo, Smith makes a nice goggle with a fan and it keeps em really clear Phantom is the one I have I think...it can be a bit loud, but it works. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 DOUBLE lens. If you have single, it will freeze over in Hokkaido. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yep my goggles are double lenses, and they dont mist at all! Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 seemore, I have used I/O's for the past 3 seasons and never looked back. I have had everything, SPy, Anon, Oakley, you name it. Love the I/O's and will never go back. Perfect for everything and they don't fog up, just make sure to DRY the lens every night after use. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 My new Dragons are great, tested in -12 and knee deep in Austria and never once fogged. Single lens system. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The best ones are the Smith Prodigy goggles. You will never have a bad google day again. High speed setting to really get the air flow going then set the goggles on low to keep them dry. Search this and you will find lots of information. smith-prodigy-turbo-fan-goggle Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 the air going across your eyes inside the goggles, would that dry your eyes out? Link to post Share on other sites
Ross 4 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Have to agree with you rider69 love my smith googles the lens even adjust's to the light.one morning in Nozawa this year it was quiet cool and ice kept forming on the out side of the lens but had no foging problem's even sweeter they only cost $80 dollars on ebay brand new nice to have a win some times Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks for that. Are they double lense though. My eyes or around my eyes sweat and heavy breathing heates up the inside and its cold on the outside so we get fog. I was wandering if the double lenses would still fog in this situation. Seemore or less depending on the goggles. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 no.....well they're not supposed to. If you get a good pair then there should be no fog Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 the double lens, (think double glazing) should be far warmer than the freezing outter lens. Thus if warmish air from your eyes and face hits it, it should not fog. Link to post Share on other sites
shadowtec 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I just brought a pair of googles with double lens off ebay tonight. My first pair which are about 4 yrs old have had a rough life with too many 'garage sales' falls (where all of your personal affects are spread accross the mountian side) they where a single lens and I had ice and fog during my last Japan trip back in late 08. I need to get some new thermals and some other small items for the feb trip Link to post Share on other sites
jblesener 1 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 If you have a double lens goggle and it's still fogging on you, try dressing down with less layers or thinner layers. There is a balance to be struck between freezing on the lifts and fogging on the slopes. You can also try opening up the neck zipper on your jacket/adjusting any neck gaiters a bit so they're not channeling warm humid air straight onto your face. Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Most important reason goggles fog in double lenses: moisture in between! Dry your goggles out at night near a heat source! They can retain water for up to 48 hours and more... Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 3 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I struggled in Niseko to keep fog free, hard when all the vents in the goggles where blocked full of powder from faces shots...as you say Mitch water was getting into the void between lenses as soon as I stopped getting air travelling through them they would fog just a little.
