Really? Never had a problem with mine and had them for a season now. Now my Oakley aframes on the other hand, I've had brand new lenses (several) fog up right out of factory plastic, while my really old 30$ spy's handle the same weather just fine. It's weird.

I've been riding both of mine over 2 seasons, seems like they almost always fog up at one point or another during the day.

Saw someone posting about girlfriends riding, this would be me and my woman last week:

Idk I love my EG2's.. If I was going to get another pair of goggles ( I have 4 so idk why I would ) it would be EG2's.. Nothing beats the peripheral vision and comfort. Mine OCCASIONALLY fog towards the top of the lense if its really really cold and I have a mask over my mouth and nose. Even then, it isn't in my eye line.

For people who find that their goggles fog alot, do you rest them on your forehead? If so, try not doing that. We release so much heat through our heads that it isn't uncommon to fog up a lense

imo fogging just depends on how snugly it fits your face. If there's any kind of gap even good goggles will fog. In general big goggles are gonna be more susceptible to having gaps, I haven't had any problems with my EG 2.5's

This ^

I have way to many goggles for my own good at this point (which is why i am selling them) But my EG2's and CLK's have been the best goggles i've ever used.

I hate wearing goggles. I only do it if I absolutely have to and then almost always put them up if I'm going to hit something.

Nerve06 · 03-01-2013, 10:27 AM

I find that when wearing my helmet, out of the four different types of goggles I own, (EG2s, VZ Feenoms, Anon Realms, and Oakley Crowbars) that the EG2s fog the most. I prefer the EG2s purely for their field of vision and comfort though.

But hey, everyone telling me what my goggles do/don't do is obviously right...

Haha my girl is the same way..she would rather just wear sunglasses or nothing at all..i used to make fun of her because at the end of some runs i couldnt tell if she was crying or just had tears from the wind hahaha.
on the other hand, i absolutely cannot stand riding without goggles.
I can also barely stand walking around with sunglasses on..which is probably why i have 25+ pairs haha

yea..sadly my gf spent 250$ on me for xmas 2 years ago and got me customized Oakley goggs..i LOVE them, but they dont hold a candle to the EG2's in terms of field of vision, plus the pinch my sinuses a bit on my nose..the EG2's dont.

I wear a helmet with my EG2's also and I have noticed fogging towards the top of the lense but i honestly just think its all of the heat in that area, especially with a helmet on. It can get super super warm up there and fog easily like a car windshield. It also has the tallest lense of any of those so it is probably trapping more heat than any other.

^This.

I wear a face mask most of the time, and I find that if I breathe through my mouth, any type of goggle will get "foggy". I breathe through my nose most of the time as my mask is tucked just above my lip so that my warm exhaled air can escape. If I do need more air while I'm riding a more demanding line, I breathe deeper and more profoundly outwards as to clear getting heat near the goggle.

My gf used my goggles when I took her this past weekend, and she said that it fixed her "fogging" problem. I think of fogging as getting moisture in-between the lenses and you are just **** out of luck to do anything about it.

I would if I could afford to but boarding isn't my main hobby so I don't dedicate nearly enough cash to it. My motorcycle projects are always going to get most of my fun spending.
