Before I get into the pool, I just put a little of that handsoap on my finger and apply it to the inside of my goggles...I then wash all of it off in the pool and voila...absolutely no fogging, works everytime...just be very careful that all the soap is gone!!!

Wash with Johnson's Baby Shampoo (Don't use the generics, they'll irritate your eyes) and rinse with a quick swish in the water so a timy bit of soap remains.

Option two: Like the inside of the lenses.

spit on em.

Spit in them and rub it around.

Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away.

Leave a drop or two of water in your goggles, they will swish around and clear your goggles.

how about anti-fog drops?

Nothing works better than spit. Spit in each one, rub it around, rinse once, and wear. No fog.

I don't know about the drops, but I tried Speedo anti-fog spray and it's pretty bogus. It's messy to put on and leaves little bubble marks on the inside of your lenses.

ditto that. even is you just lick you finger and rub it ont he inside of the lense, that usually does it for the whole workout. A big lugie is not required.

Cat crap. works really well. I've been using it for years. It's good enough to only have to apply every couple of time I go to the pool. Oh, and it is just called that. It doesn't come out of a cat.

I just lick the insides of the goggles. Works great.

Kids, Uncle Relax2dmax approves the use of cat crap on your goggles.

I find the de-fog drops work really well. I just put on a very little bit then rub it with my towel or the bottom of my t-shirt or something. Inside and out. I think I have the AquaSphere drops ... they were shockingly expensive for what they are but I've been working on the same bottle for about 3 years now so the cost per swim is pretty negligible.

Funny ... I always just spit in my dive mask and that works great but I didn't find that it works nearly as well on my Seal mask.

My technique as well; first the spit then a couple drops of water. Works very well.

Just make sure it's not salt water you drop in there....

I find my goggles don't fog up as long as I don't go swimming - go figure!

The anti fog drops have worked well for me. Each application usually lasts for several swims, sometimes a few weeks. So it's a pretty cheap solution.

In the past I've hucked a loogie in each side. The more phlegm, the better. Unfortunately, it doesn't last as long. Also, air vents seem to work well. While the goggles may fill with water, at least they don't fog up.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. My personal favorites are loogies and cat crap. I think I will try a bit of shampoo, though :)

Wash the insides with soap.

The reason that your goggles fog, IIRC, is because there are small particles of stuff (calcium and other stuff left when the water evaporated after your last swim) on the inside of the lens. These small particles give the water vapor a location upon which to condense, and (as they say in Chicago) Boom! ya got fog. So if you remove these particles, you prevent the fog.

Soap works great for this, but if you fail to rinse it out completely, it can hurt your eyes, hence the Johnson's baby shampoo solution. I just use the soap at the sink in the bathroom at the pool. Works fine. Cost? Zero.

baby shampoo

If they're Aqua Sphere Kaiman with the dark mirrored tint, nothing I tried worked for very long (haven't got any Cat Crap though!). The rep hear in hawaii said there is a problem with those lenses so I just changed to the smokey tint and no have had no problem since.

"Just one question I might ask ya, and it might sound like a disaster, but can you make this thing go faster"?!

yep, Johnson's Baby Shampoo

Could this be why my Speedo (prescription) goggles didn't fog for the first year I had them, but they started fogging when I pulled them out after they were in the closet for a few years? I'll have to try washing them.

And, a more general question: Other than Cat crap (which people seem to like) and Speedo defogger (which some people dislike), are there any other brands of defogger on which anyone has an opinion?

Edited to add: I know the previous posts in this thread are rather old. I just didn't want to start a new thread if the topic had already been discussed.
