Fogging, can't see

[vmaxcrazy]

I've run across something that my help those of us who wear glasses and can't seem to find a solution to fogging. There's a company in MN that's called PRO-VUE. They make precription snow goggles. Has anyone tried these yet, and do they work?
I'm ordering them as I've run out of ideas. I tried contacts and I just can't wear them. Lazik is out for me. I'm afraid this may be my only hope.
Back when I used to race sleds I wore goggles and never had a problem with fogging as long as I was moving fast. I tried goggles again for trail riding and for the most part my glasses stayed fog free unless I ran at a slow pace or worked up a sweat. Then my glasses would fog. The goggles never did. I'm hoping PRO-VUE's will work. If anyone has tried them let me know how they worked out for you.

why not run a skidoo bv2s or skidoo modular with your glasses....no fogging even for us sweat hogs!

A friend of mine wears a HJC modular helmet and always wears his glasses and doesn't have any problems.

I've been using NO-FOG with my prescribed eye glasses for the last 10yrs and have never FOGGED up since with any type of helmet and the other big secret for not fogging up is NOT to wear any BALACLAVA its a big part of the fog problem we tend to over insulate our heads and SWEAT, here's a link for NO-FOG

The following are tech tips from NO-FOG:

Tech #L72 advises; wear NO-FOG® w/o balaclava for the ultimate riding experience, but you'll need to wear a turtleneck and a snowmobile jacket with high collar. Or if your not into turtlenecks and like other shirts (T-shirts, long john tops, sweatshirts, etc.) use our new #007DLN (long neck mask).

Tech #331 advises, this is really a no-brainer but remove the helmet chin screen so that all breath "exits" outside bottom of helmet and of course remove any helmet nose deflector.

Fog evader does a great job too http://www.ruoutside.com/fog-evader-clava.html

If the BV2S is out of your price range, you could try the Polaris modular. I purchased one last year after borrowing a BV2S. Same situation, I could never keep glasses from fogging before. The Polaris modular works pretty good, not quite as well as the BV2S, but @ $150 cheaper, it is good enough for me. Unless I was working the sled extremely hard in deep snow, I had no fogging issues. When I did , I cracked open the shield for a few seconds and fog all gone.

Been using Pro-Vue goggle for over 10 years, no problem fogging and as long as you have a nose guard and a tight seel around helmet opening, you won't have any issues. I am comfy to about 15 below with my setup.

Thanks for all the responces. I've tried 5 different helmets over the years, but not the ski-doo modular. Friend of mine had one and had a terrible time getting the mast to seal and the filters were a pain. I used to use the YAMAHA sno-force helmet when I was riding my 97 sx700 and never had a fogging issue. All that changed when I went to my 06 ATTAK. I've had nothing but fogging issues with this sled. I even changed the windshield with no luck, except for keeping my hands out of the wind better. The goggles with MX style helmet seems like a step in the right direction for me. Adding PRO-VUE precription goggles will (I hope) solve my fogging issue. If not....?

I use the BRP Modular 2 helmet with the electric visor - expensive but works awesome.
