 127   , Louisiana |  Subject: Fogged Goggles???I have tried several suggestions including spit, Anti_Fog solution, and Baby Shampoo, most work OK for a few hundred meters, but still fog up on longer swims. Does anyone know of a solution that will last thru an IM swim? |

Expert 1644 Oklahoma | Subject: RE: Fogged Goggles??? Spit rub on lenses then rinse with pool water and as said in previous post leave them on the entire workout. Once removed they do tend to start fogging up. |

| 1300 | Subject: RE: Fogged Goggles??? New goggles ! I keep a pair each season just for racing and the anti fog on them last since they're only being worn a few times and not handled a lot. Plus they stay out of the chlorine. Which probably won't help you if you have prescription goggles in which case like the others before me said, spit - rinse and keep them on. |

Extreme Veteran 1018 | Subject: RE: Fogged Goggles??? Once you start leaking and one little drop of water gets in they will fog. Key is to find a pair that don't leak. Also, put them on when your face is dry and keep them on the entire time. |

Toothpaste works well on scuba masks, havent tried it yet on swimming goggles though.... New/sparingly used race goggles works best for me. |

| 82 | Subject: RE: Fogged Goggles??? First step is to prevent the issue. Always rinse your goggles thoroughly with cold water after each swim. Every. Dang. Time. If and when you start to lose the coating, clean them thoroughly and use some anti-fog. As others have said keeping them on for the entire swim will help. Spit and rubbing are short term solutions. I usually like to support local stores, but I buy goggles in bulk from online retailers (much cheaper) and switch them out when they start to go bad. They are one of the cheapest pieces of equipment I own. I also keep one pair in a case solely for racing. |

So try different ones. Use baby shampoo diluted and let dry. Other soap will work but the baby shampoo is PH balance so if(when water gets in you don't have to worry about your eyes burning. |

Champion 7036 Sarasota, FL | Subject: RE: Fogged Goggles??? Another vote for baby shampoo. I rinse my goggles with fresh water as soon as I get done swimming and then wash them with baby shampoo and let them dry as soon as I get home. As has been mentioned, leaving them on the entire time seems to help also. Mark

Yeah, I realized after I wrote that it sounds kind of morbid and weird. Just to be clear, I do not pop my eyes out and swish a towel around my skull! I just use a towel to dry the area of my eyes that my goggles cover. I was trying to specify that the rest of my face could still be wet. :-) |

| 127 , Louisiana | Subject: RE: Fogged Goggles??? Haven't tried toothpaste. Not trying to be funny, but what brand of toothpaste? lots of toothpaste is very gritty. We used it to polish brass buckles in the military. |

| 66 | Subject: RE: Fogged Goggles??? Yep, fair question. I've tried the blue stuff, the white stuff and it's normally Colgate. I have a vague feeling that the white stuff works best! I've never used the gritty stuff on a mask before... |
