I read the post a few threads down about foggy googles. I'm having the same problem. Only I've been swimming for about 3 months and I've used the same pair since I started. The problem is not only constant fogginess, but they just dont seem to fit right anymore. Even when I stop after intervals, and I flush water through them, the second I put them back on they are foggy, I can barely see the lane lines, or the other swimmers in my lane. Is it time to get a new pair?
Every pair of goggles I have ever owned started fogging up on me after a few weeks - the factory coating just doesn't last even when you are careful. Therefore I don't replace goggles if the only thing wrong is fogging. I usually use 50:50 baby shampoo:water in a small spray bottle, but have also used several commercial products. The commercial ones last a little longer, but cost a little more. It's time to replace goggles when the rubber parts deteriorate or they start leaking. I often find the gaskets get less flexible and then they leak.
