anti-fog or not?

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'm using Arena anti-fog for my Arena swedish goggles. I spread 1 drop per goggle surface and let it dry. It lasts for 1 week. Once per 3-4 weeks when they get dirty I gently clean them with cotton-wool and alcohol and wash with water afterward then - again anti-fog. The picture is perfect like through the new goggles. :) For events I'm using Arena Tracks Mirror (used them only twice). Now they are fine but in future not sure if alcohol is a good idea to clean them I'm afraid it will remove mirror coat. :help: Anyone had experience in cleaning mirror coated goggles?
