Help! I am having a hard time keeping my glasses from fogging up inside my Scott #87 goggles.

Any bright ideas besides getting contacts? Which would not solve the problem of the goggles themselve fogging up, which happens as well......

Smith PMTs (Perforated Membrane Technology) are the only goggles I’ve tried that don’t fog in the wintertime. I’m not saying they’re the only ones that don’t, just the only one’s I’ve tried that don’t, and I’ve tried a few. We have amber lenses goggles for bright sunlight and clear for cloudy / night conditions.

I do have a solution for you.
I used to Scuba dive and I learned a solution to fogged goggles then.
It sounds crazy, but it works.
first clean them, then rub some sensadine toothpaste on them and rince them off. Like I said, sounds crazy, but it works.
Give it a try--worse case is you have some extra toothpaste.

I had the same problem yesterday, with the same goggles. I used rain-x defogger on the glasses and goggles everytime I stopped.

My face mask seems to blow the air up... so I think I will try a different one.

I have played paintball the past 3 years and scott makes masks for the paintball sport which include scott goggles w/ a thermal lense. These well not fogg at all. I am not too sure that it will keep your glasses from fogging but a am putting a set of anitfog lenses into my goggles. I will have to order form scott b/c i use JT pb masks and thoses lenses arent compatable w/ scott.

maybe the anti fogg lense will do the trick. Go to scotts homepage and check it out.

Thanks for the info, gentlemen. I neglected to mention that i had tried the rain-x anti-fog stuff to no avail.

I will report back anything that works. I'm gonna go with the cheap solution first, so it's off to the store for some toothpaste..but I'm gonna smear it on the goggles in private......

How often do I put the tooth paste on the goggles? My dentist recommends after each meal, but I can't always do it that often. ;-)

Seriously, how often? Before each ride?

Thanks

I think that you will probably need to do it each time.

that is what I did when scuba diving..

I hope you guys come up with something that really works because I am really frustrated with trying to keep the fog off my glasses and goggles. Same thing happens with my full-face helmet. I tried riding without my glasses, but then no one will ride with me.

I think I will invent a little blower for my goggles that wires into the ATV's electrics.

DESK;here is one of them funny things again,as I snowmobile and have trouble with fogging full face shield.Best thing I have found is one of them rubber mask that painters use.I pulled the side pieces off and cut holes in the bottom of mask to have more air movement.It don't look the best but it works,and only $20.I get teased about my jock strap but no fog.I paid $40 for a no-fog that I threw away.
