Smith IO goggles have been fogging like crazy with my mask.
I wear glasses. They fog up when I wear a mask in the cold. However, when I tuck the mask under the bottom of my goggles, they seal the mask to my face and my glasses do not fog up...yet. I haven't had to use the fan on the goggles (Smith turbo OG) this year (only been a few days though); they fog up a little when standing still, but clear up as soon as I get moving.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, there seems to be a fit problem at the nose. My Smith goggles are advertised as Asian fit, which I ordered because I'm, ummm, Asian. They seem to have extra thick nose foam. Might look into a similar goggle.

Hi everyone,

I have updated both my helmet and goggles this season and have noticed that I have started to get air coming in at higher speeds which leads to eyes watering to the point where i am somewhat concerned about crashing.

Try slowing down a little.. There are entirely different helmet and eye gear requirements for ludicrous speed!

I've tried a number of helmet/google combinations over the years. I run pretty warm so susceptible to fogging
Bar none for me best is Marker helmet and googles. no fog, no problems great optics
