The thread on goggles got me to wondering: Is there an actual honest-to-goodness decent anti-fog solution for goggles? The anti-fog coating on the goggles I use (Tyr Socket Rocket 2.0) lasts for about one swim. After that I do the spit thing, but they still fog up. :violin:
Is there any real solution?

Wash with Baby Shampoo to take away the grease, then apply the anti-fog stuff. I also take two or three goggles with me to the pool and leave them at the side. If one gets foggy, I change it, because I am obsessed and don't like to swim with foggy goggles. Presently I am using a squirt type anti fog, but my last one was a spread on type, I believe Speedo brand. Without the washing with shampoo the anti fog won't work, because it won't penetrate the grease that you acquire while swimming. When I was in college we use to use to rub cigarette tobacco to prevent fogging of the windshield on the old Volkswagen beetle. I guess smoking and the beetle have become outdated. I don't think swimmers will have any cigarettes available to try and use it to prevent fogging....billy (loved those Benson&Hedges) fanstone
