The anti-fog coating of goggles seems to work only for a few weeks. Even if you are careful not to scratch it off, it seems to attract dirt and make the lens "foggy" anyway. So, soon you better end up scratch off all the coatings. I just wonder if it makes much sense to get anti-fog goggles unless it's just for a short period of time? I use soapy water to rinse goggles before putting on, and it has worked better without a single fail instance. I'm debating to myself whether to scratch off the coating of my new goggles which have already become "foggy" because I can't touch the lens to clean the dirt that's been attracted by the coating.
I kinda agree with fmracing. :agree: Fog is just something that comes with the sport! Or its that nothing ever works/lasts, so why bother and just deal lol. I would NEVER lick my goggles however.....I dip em in the water instead ;-) Heck, I don't even mind if my goggles are little leaky, as a few droplets provide a fog-free environment.
I say stop babying your goggles. Clean em when you feel like it. I doubt gently cleaning them will noticeably affect the longevity of the anti-fog properties, which doesn't last anyway. This is coming from someone who wears $5 goggles though :) :2cents:
