I bought the anti-fog Barracudas and after a long, difficult battle managed to get them adjusted so they don't leak. Now I realize that having water leaking into them was the only thing keeping them clear, with the water sloshing around and washing away the condensation. Now that there's no water running in, I can't see anything after 50m!
I have tried the Speedo anti-fog solution with success that varies from day to day. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. Other times I'll get a mild fog that's workable. It seems to work best when I give it two applications between workouts, but even then the results are disappointing.
So. Fog juice, anyone?
Any recommendations on alternative brands of fog solutions, or any other techniques I might try so I can actually see the pace clock?
Oh, I already tried putting them on before getting into the pool. They fog even then, just from the moisture in my eyes. I really don't want to go back to my Speedo goggles, which didn't seem to have this problem. The Speedos gave me rings, the Barracudas don't.

I see lots of swimmers use the Barracudas.. They will not fit all swimmers but no goggle will. Another goggle that was great for fog resistance was the Leader Pro-Fit but they are no longer made. I use the Barracuda Standard and find them very comfortable and watertight.I do have to let abit of water in to prevent fogging as Emmett says. The Barracuda anti fog drops do work pretty good, you have to dry the lens then apply the drops work it on the lens then dry it off with a soft cloth. It lasts maybe two swims. The anti fog coatings on all the goggles are a joke> I think it is a marketing sales tool. I will post a new thread called Barracuda Swim Goggle tips with more on my experience with these goggles I remember when I swam red eyed and goggle less, because the chaep goggles left marks and I saw the first Barracudas. I thought what a goofy looking goggle but they look comfortable and watertight. I tried a pair after a friend got some and I got over being "goofy" and decided to swim and be comfortable.
