I wear my glasses under my Smith OTG (over the glasses) goggles often and I know what you mean about fogging becoming a problem. Here are some tips for you that are really successful for me in preventing the glasses underneath from fogging.1) Buy goggles that are OTG, specially designed to fit over glasses. http://www.frostyrider.com/shops/frostys_shop.htm?gear=otg+goggles2) In the morning before going out, wash your glasses and hands with soap and water TWICE, then dry them with a clean soft cloth.3) Apply Cat Crap (or other anti-fog product) to your glasses. If you do not have a product handy, apply bar soap to inside and outside of the glasses with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Let dry to haze, then buff clean clean clean with the clean soft dry cloth (kinda like waxing a car). (Never do this to your goggles, only the glasses. Goggles should be new conditio

Goggles should be new condition and kept in a protected area to stay clean and dirt/dust free.) http://www.frostyrider.com/shops/frostys_shop.htm?gear=anti+fog+cleaner4) On the way to the mountain, make sure not to get your glasses dirty or touch them. Keep OTG goggles in protected case.5) When you arrive at the mountain, if it is snowing, leave your glasses in the car, this will keep them nice and dry.6) Round up your gear and stuff before dawning your eye-wear. This allows the temperature inside your car (where your eyewear is left) to cool to a level closer to what the outside temperature is. This prevents fog from condensation.7) Once you have all your other gear on and your board all ready (did you remember to check your binding screws?) now put on your glasses and goggles. If it is snowing, put your board down and get in the car and shut the door. Dry your face then put on your glasses and goggles ensuring the goggles have a good fit and seal and they are comfortable. Also make sure your hat or helmet is not blocking the vents. If your goggles have vents that actuate, open them and leave them open.8) Now exit the car, lock it up, grab your board and start walking. If you stand around at this point you could get initial fog that lasts all day!9) Throughout the day, try not to “break the seal” that your goggles have around your face. The idea is to KEEP MOISTURE OUT of your goggles as even a little bit can cause fog.10) Naturally, the more you move about the less you will fog.WOW that's a lot of stuff, but I hope these tips are useful to you!HAVE FUN 😀
