Steaming up goggles

[DAVE 666]

the problem is this... after skirmishing for 20-30 minuites my goggles steam up. Is there any way of over coming this (sprays etc?)
i know some poeple use mesh masks... these are ok during the day but seriously hinder visibilty in low light....any ideas?

Go to your local shop that sells glasses and they should have anti-fog spray, I used to use some on my hockey visor works great!

I also heard dish detergant works too. I havent tested this yet tho.

A micro fan and a 9v do wonders.

Some of the better PB goggles have thermal lenses for less fogging.

nice one...memel arnt there any manufacturers that sell that sort of thing?

"Thermal" lens goggles are a great first step for fog control. The lens has what amounts to two layers to the lens, so there's a sealed air space in between that builds up warmth and cuts down on fogging on the inside layer. I say cuts down, but not eliminate, bucause a sweaty animal like myself can overcome even a good thermal lens. That's where the fans come into play. I've got a small CPU cooling fan attached to my ESS Striker goggles. If you want a pre-fab setup, search for ESS Turbocam goggles or JT Vortex fans for paintball goggles.

I've found goggle fog is a #1 game wrecker, so for me, the fan and thermal lens are a must.

Electronics suppliers have small fans for computers for good prices!

the paintball goggle fans suck, I've owned one, way over priced and made with really cheap parts and the fans are stupid loud so every one knows where you are, plus the fans don't pull all that much so dose not help with fogging.

Have you considered getting mesh goggles? I adore mine

Thermal lenses have never let me down.

I got some neat ESS goggles from army issues. Military issue goggles offer superb ventilation, protection and comfort. Try searching around the web for ESS goggles, I'd recommend them any day.

Best I've tried and in Canada. No fogging at all... except some moisture droplets may appear and obscure vision somewhat and if you try to wipe them away you will rub off the coating and have a streak of fog where you rubbed. I've only tried it for one game (warm and sunny) so I will learn how to work with it but except for sticking my finger under my goggles to wipe a bead of water and causing the fog streak, there was absolutely no fogging.
Promising.

If they are ESS goggles, try removing the foam from around the vents on the top, sides, and bottoms. I did this to both my ESS strikers and profiles and have all but eliminated my fogging problem. (will only fog if I'm running with my helmet on for an extended period)

i use a bar of soap...use something like ivory(no odor)...just rub a dry bar of soap on the inside of your goggles then buff it out...just like waxing a car...it works like a charm...no water required...

I use Catcrap and it never fogs.
it dries out and doesn't stay on your fingers when you touch the lens either.

once in a while I clean the old catcrap layer and put a new one...
