Fogged!

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.

    Another update on the fogging issue: The devil made me find an ultrasonic cleaner on sale and buy it ($30 @ The Sharper Image) - at least that is what I told Herself, The Court From Which There Is No Appeal. The results have been unconclusive to date (about 1 week). It hasn't delaminated the antifog stuff as yet, but the goggles also only seem marginally cleaner. Have tried an number of solutions as well. More as it happens... Shaky - Re the spit issue: Try eating a few raisins (or purple grapes) a few minutes before. I'm not sure why, but it does seem to help the anti-fogging properties. -LBJ
