I use 2 goggles in my workouts. One for sprint sets (tight and uncomfortable), one for relaxed sets. Till now, I did nor see anybody doing the same. Am I the only one?

Jiminos, the main problem with the lens is dirt, oil, grease, whatever. I remember having foggy masks on a diving trip and the dive master cleaned my masks with liquid soap or detergent. Of course, the diving masks aren't so sensitive to cleaning as goggles. I just put some baby shampoo (less irritating to the eyes) and gently with the tip of fingers wash the inside and outside of the goggles. Rinse, then apply the anti-fog liquid (speedo is one brand I recall). If the lenses are completely clean there is no where the fog will adhere to. But even if you don't use the spray or liquid, just washing with shampoo will make a huge difference. It is just like your windshield, where occasionally you have to use detergent to get rid of the oily film that is on the outside, or have some soap added to the washer fluid. I went a long time with no anti-fog stuff (hadn't found any or where to buy) so the shampoo or liquid soap worked well. If your eyes get irritated, rinse some more while in the pool. The spit thing works, but I am getting picky and icky at my age. Cigarette tobacco or raw cut potatoes were used back in college for the windshield. Don't have any tobacco now, no more Benson&Hedges menthols. Take care, billy fanstone
