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've also tried quite a few goggles. I get the best fit and use from the Nike H-3000s. They last about 6 months (or a little more) completely fog- and trouble- free ....
TYR Velocity looks like they'll be good also.
I also got some good advice on this board ... when you find the goggle that works well for you buy a bunch. They might be discontinued soon.
Good Luck!
I second it. My Speedo's SuCKed for fogging up! I decided Life's too short to swim with fogged up goggles, and so finally broke out one of myriad new pairs waiting to be used. My Nike Remora III's are fog free (without having to spit in them- which spitting wouldn't even work on the Speedo's with how bad they were). The Nike's never seem to have the best optics though (looking through their plastic never seems quite right, IMO. My TYR's have all been pretty good for being fog free with OK optics. My favorites are the Finis- Lane 4's for being/staying fog free and with decent optics.
