hey citizens,

one of my best bros i ride with has a real tuff time keeping his glasses from fogging up. he can't wear contacts sledding, he wears a full face helmet with flip up sheild, he also uses a breath deflector, he has tried anti-fog cloths ,sprays nothing seems to work.
he is thinking of switching the flip up sheild and going with electric goggles.
has anyone used them? or have any ideas that may help my friend.
the goggels may let more air circulate into and around his head?
thanks ,

The fogging has always been a problem for me as well . I bought a thing last year called a defogger or something like that fits over nose and mouth and eliminates it most of the time unless realy cold .Some say the doo brs stops it but they are very costly . Also if his helmet has the lower gaurd on it removeing it will help .

Tell him to get a modular by AGV they are 180.00 I think at Dennis Kirk. I have 2 and ride with glasses and have ridden at 30 below with no problem. These were also offered as yamahas modular last year and may still be available at a considerable discount. It has a fighter jet style breath deflector that comes out the bottom. Stay away from the Ski Doo helmet the breath goes out hoses on the sides and freeze up all the time. the snaps on those break all the time and the helmet is over $300.
 
Me too!!!

I too have friend that continuously stops to clear his glasses. Several years ago my son (then 12 and a novice sledder) accidentially hit his snow flap during one of his abrupt stops. I have seriously considered pushing him down in the snow or a good old fashion snow face wash like the ones that were allowed after school in the 60's. Fogging and kidding aside the deflector that he's using is not conducive with our radios and causes the VOX to activate during periods of high turnbulance.

PS: He's a lawyer and there's no telling him anything; I love him like a brother, but I still like the snow face wash!!!
 
I used to have so much problem with fogging, now it is gone completly. Have Lasic eye surgury. Some of us spend thousands of $ on mods for our sleds. I spent $3000 and had eys fixed. Now I can see very well ALL year long and no glasses to mess with. Swimming, sking, sledding, even....sex. I can see great.
 
I wear eye glasses too and had problems w/fogging t'ill I bought a "NO FOG" mask they work great and no more fogging...I even got rid of my heated visor...it only cost $50.00 Cnd.

Lot of my buddies bought them and really enjoy riding with them...it does take some getting use to,but once you do you'll never ride without it!!!
 
I always fogged up no matter what! I have since switched to a motocross type helmet and google with no problem. Just make sure you don't have any exposed skin at -11 degrees.
 
Can't wait to try out the new eyes on the snow also. Had laser surgery and it is the best thing that I have ever spent money on.
 
Try a little palmolive dish soap on the inside of your lense. Put a little dab on your finger and work it over the eyewear. Old hockey trick. ;)!
 
no more fogging!

I also had the laser surgery. It was the best thing I ever did. I wore glasses most of my life and always had the same issues. Fogging, helmet not fitting great, scratches, breaking/replacements, new perscriptions,etc. Had surgery about 5 years ago and listed fogging while snowmobiling as my main reason. I've also tried all the fog prevention techniques. What a waste of time and money. For me, surgery wasn't just for snowmobiling, but for everyday as well. NO MORE GLASSES!! Good Luck.
 
It's an uphill battle. I tried goggles, no-fog sprays, cloths, neoprene masks with breat deflectors, helmets with breath boxes, before the advent of the modular. I could only win by getting contacts. Having free air flow helps, but the minute moisture hits the lenses, they frost-over. You could have him try a Bombardier modular, maybe he could borrow one??? before spending $400 as they seal very well, and evacuate warm, moist, air away from the lense. Other than that:

Unless his vision is restored via corrective surgery, contacts are about the best solution I've found, and continue to use.
