Foggles

[Spooky Gomer]

Jeju Gomer here,
Any idea how to keep tactical goggles fog-free? I'm thinking toothpaste, but any other tips would be appreciated. I've spent the last couple of weekends with my fingers up in my goggles desperately trying to windshield-wipe off my goggles in the heat of combat. Not cool.

Had that problem often. I gave up and got mesh ones. Don't ever fog, but they put a grid in front of your eyes that doesn't help finding people in forests. You can get goggles with a fan installed that seems to help a lot.

When I'm scuba diving I get that problem a lot and the best solution is a little saliva on the inside of the mask and then a quick wash with water... best soution I've seen so far.

I've heard amazing things about Fogtech: http://fogtech.ca/

It can be a bit pricey, but I've heard nothing but great reviews.

Some people swear by cheaper methods such as saliva or dish soap.

Personally I'd get googles with a fan, if you're handy with a soldering iron install a small fan. Chris has one of those Marui googles with a fan and he swears by it.

I got myself the ESS Turbofan, unfortunately I didn't have a chance to use it in a game, but I don't have any doubts that it won't work.

Russell enlarged the vents on his googles top and bottom and that worked for him.

One thing that I have used is putting hair conditioner on the goggles inside and out then wiping it off. That works in a dry desert enviroment not sure in areas that it is very humid. The Fogtech stuff doesn't work very well in my experience.

I find rubbing on dish washing liquid works well. You just have to use a small blob per lense, or you may risk streaking (not the good kind either).
It works well with paintball masks as well as tight fitting goggles.

Streaks, heheh!

So at today's game (played at Team Halla's glorious compound #3), I used my tried and tested snorkeling mask fog-remedy of toothpaste. I would say it cut down on fog of war by 60%, even on a super humid day. And it also left my eyes all minty. I'll try out some of these other suggestions next week (I've heard potatoes work too...).
