Re: Goggles fogging/icing up
I really like my Julbos, and I've been in some windy conditions on Longs with them. It may help to tie them on with a lanyard so they fit quite snug across your face. (that could work for any sunglasses, really. )

Re: Goggles fogging/icing up
They're expensive, but Julbo Aerospace goggles (or the less expensive Airflux) really work for both uphills and downhills. The lenses have an ingenious mount that allows them to pop away from the frame, creating a small gap for air to circulate. For the downhills you push them back in. They've never fogged up on me, even when going uphill at all-out speeds in skimo races.
See https://www.julbo.com/en_us/goggles/aerospace and https://www.julbo.com/en_us/goggles/airflux. The main difference is that the Aerospace has a photochromic lens.

You're going to need face surgery to correct its narrowness. That should solve the problem.

Re: Goggles fogging/icing up
I have a pair of these and they're excellent. Along with a light ski mountaineering helmet I can have helmet and goggles on car-to-car for BC ski days.martinleroux wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:43 am They're expensive, but Julbo Aerospace goggles (or the less expensive Airflux) really work for both uphills and downhills.

That's what you look like after drinking The Bonus Cup.

Re: Goggles fogging/icing up
What do you mean by "clean them on the go"? If you wipe the inside of the goggles while they're wet, it'll remove the anti-fog. The only thing I can think of that might help after you've removed that is maybe the drops for scuba diving goggles.
