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 have a pair of Vanquishers that are about 3 months old. They fog, I lick and wipe. Today I decided to see if I could find a better pair in my bag. I found 2 brand new ones but was extremely disappointed that they both fogged up after a 50. Brand new Speedos and can't even last a 50. We were doing 200s and by the end of the 200, I couldn't even see the wall to turn. Grrr.
