I go into the mountains where if there is a trail is it a hiker's trail. The
trail is thin, the trees are close to the edge of the trails and there are
steep hills. At times it is slow, hard work and I get fairly sweaty. The pay
off for me is the solitude, the peace and the thrill of going where few
others will go.

I have two pair of wraparound glasses that don't work at all, not even when
I am on the flat as they fog. I have never tried goggles.


_ Goggles will be much, much worse. Even the best don't ventilate
as well as sunglasses. Many XC racers use a kind of tiltable
shield glass rather than standard sunglasses.


I find I have the same problem with fog on my lenses when running. Makes me
wish some genius would solve this problem and makes me wonder what the
skiers are using in Turin.


_ The only way to truly solve this problem is to wear less or
more breathable clothes. Basically what's happening is that a lot
of moist air is coming up around your neck and contacts the
cold lenses and condenses. Goretex is the primary culprit.
Fogging glasses is a sign of being overdressed, when your glasses
start fogging take off a layer of clothes.
