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.


It really depends on the weather - I don't want to be taking off too
many more layers at -30 to -40, which tends to be some of my favourite
weather for skiing, and after 6 km's I find that my glasses have been
etched with frost to the point where I can't see the trail.

Probably one of the problems with the goggles I've currently got is that
this winter has been way too mild, although I will agree that they don't
breathe as well as I would like.
