Cold
weather = fogging up for your goggles/eyewear. The following
are sugggested tips for dealing with fog prevention.
Do not
overdress. Be warm, but not too warm. Exercise, skiing, or
any movement generates heat and if sweat is forming on your
forehead, your goggles fog up. Take off a few layers until
you are comfortable.
Snow. If it is snowing and your goggles begin to fog, check
to see if the snow has clogged the vents. If they are
covered, the heat cannot escape so do your best to remove
the snow.
If your
goggles do fog, never wipe them clean. Doing this reduces
its effectiveness. Anti-fog treated lenses will heal
themselves given time.
Never clean
your goggles with glass cleaner...that removes the anti-fog
coating and only use anti-fog sprays or liquids on your
goggles when the factory anti-fog coating has worn off or
been removed.
For glasses
wearers, try putting on the goggles before leaving the
indoors since this will prevent the glasses from getting
cold. If snow/water gets on your glasses/goggles, blot the
water droplets dry with a soft cloth. Even remove them and
set them foam side down on your leg so the moisture-laden
air can dissipate and the no-fog coating absorb the
remaining moisture. Do NOT use chemicals or detergents to
clean lenses that have an anti-fog coating. Use a soft cloth
(like a micro-fiber cloth) to wipe clean.
**Please
note that some of our eyewear already has the anti-fog
coating, see the descriptions to be sure. However, there is
always a possibility that these goggles will still fog-up
depending on the situations as said above. Extreme
conditions can also affect the anti-fog. |
