Anyone have any tips to keep goggles from fogging up too much? Mine are a dark tint and fog very quickly. I’ve tried the search option but didn’t really find anything…
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.
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.

disclaimer: I think this man is joking. kids, don’t put cat crap on your goggles.
Not a joke. Cat crap works. I’ve got some at home. Clever marketing gimic, huh?
Oh crap, I didn’t even go to the link!
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
