Excellent tips for keeping our goggles dry and fog free Dan, in my opinion you are genuinely the most informative person on CZcams when it comes to snowmobiling. Your tips, tricks and tutorials are always captivating and fun to watch. Keep up the good work my friend see you in the next video.
A good technique to keeping your goggles from fogging up if you have to take them off is have a bandana or some other soft cloth in your coat sleeve or somewhere close to your body heat. Push the warm cloth into the inside of the goggles. This will help maintain the temp of the lens and keep any snow from entering. I stopped to talk to some rider's and a guy had the quick strap on his goggles as it hung from his Helmet. I asked him about the cloth in his goggles and he said it works great. Take the cloth out and put your goggles back on without any or minimal fogging issues. He was right. It does work good!
This is so hands-on helpful, informative !! I say this because you're doing your review in real-time snow conditions/weather conditions which is way more realistic !! Therefore, don't worry about the audio !! Great Vid !!
This definitely helped me. I'm a newer snowboarder and have been having issues fogging up. I've learned to lose a layer of clothing when I'm too hot. I went this weekend and just kinda left em on unless I was inside. No fog. All day and night. Def appreciate the tips.
We use a 12mm garden irrigation hose elbow, heated & flatten at one end to make mouth piece & a longer nose exiting my helmet. works mint.. no one can tell when wearing a full face helmet. And use nose plugs or nose clips used for swimming stops you breathing out your nose.
Thanks for all of these instructional vids. Was hoping you could maybe do a video on suspension set up particularly pertaining to stock shocks I’ve got the stock Walker Evans clickers on my sled (2017 pro rink 800) and always wondering how I should be adjusting while on the mountain or in the backcountry Thanks
I picked up the 509 heated goggles. They work awesome. Fogging is a thing of the past. Though you’ll need to get either two pair or the extra battery. As one set won’t last a whole day. Pricy but worth it.
I see heating the goggles as a last resort sort of tactic, under hood heat is rarely dry heat. also, Once they go on your helmet they need to be at the ambient temp in order not to ice up or fog, any big temperature differential can cause issues with fogging, icing or getting wet. what are your thoughts on this?
@@NextLevelRidingClinics its a great location to show the goggles' challenge.. some hollywood types might want to take one of them large Fans with them and a generator and then a LIGHT or two and then they would shoot the shot and video u did with out the Fan to blow the snow and make it seem impossible to keep the goggles clean.. U r smarter than hollywood and u found a perfect location and it really shows the how and why and how to not why put goggles down or face down (as snow falls into the goggles when its downward faced).. thanks for replying and may the powder that lays before u be untouched. (and possess no trees hiding underneath) //
Smith or Scott anti fog cloth works excellent also. Apply before you ride and If they get wet/fogged while riding dry them with the chamois and retreat them with the anti fog cloth.
The nasty weather is what helps your cause. Up here in canada, doing a lot of back country riding, my goggles fog all the time. So it's nice to see the weather bad when you're recording, you know what your talking about. Boondocking up the side of a Mountain in minus 40 bad weather, what more can you ask for.
A little breezy today eh Dan?! One thing I have found that really Jack's me up as having a mustache. Trying to tuck that lip under and breathe down you're breathing right in your mustache so facial hair is definitely a disadvantage!
Hi Dan can u tell me pls is polaris Voyager 600 144 good for off trail and on treiler no mountains just in UP compare to rmk 600 144 or its its not going to to triks like Rmk
I have been hearing that goggle sprays actually remove the anti fog solution on your goggles. but I am just thinking, eventually overtime, your goggles will lose that solution. therefore isn't it better to just apply a spray solution often. also eventually you will need to wash your goggles and the action of washing them removes the anti fog solution. I have always been annoyed with the fragility of goggles (I know I am not the only one). I have used 509s for both dirt biking and mountain biking all year round.
Dont know if it makes sense or is right at all, but i noticed when i had my goggles just a bit to tight my goggles kept getting foggy, But after i loosened them up a bit they were good.
I dont understand why one of these companies hasnt designed a helmet that seals to your mouth/nose so when you breath it directs your breath down and/or away.. I have the CKX titan with electric goggles, they are great however if you area breathing hard they will fog too.
I've never had any issues with my goggles fogging but rather my glasses which really deters me from riding most times. How would I go about keeping my glasses from fogging when wearing goggles? Thanks
losi5ivet29cc Just forget about OTG riding, buy these: rxgoggles.com/ Been using them for years. One of the best riding purchases I've made. I use Dragon Vendetta goggles and change out the RX insert to a new one whenever my prescription changes. P.S. these will still fog, just not nearly as easily as glasses since the inserts are farther from your face. The biggest plus for me is how secure they are.. they won't flop around or need to be adjusted like glasses.
I have these as well. They might fog if I'm sitting still, but never when I am moving. Also, so much easier to get my helmet on and off with the prescription inserts. Glasses were always a Pain, hard to get my helmet on and off, plus hurt my head and ears on a long ride, plus fogging and could never see. Many issues solved at the same time here. Would never go back.
I ride with a bag that fits the entire helmet and goggle. Kind of over the top but it protects from stray shovels of snow, wind and evil buddies when digging out.
I love you Dan and I love your videos and everything you do for the sport. But...heated lenses are best $200 or $300 I have ever spent and will continue to spend. Please tell Klim to get with the program and offer them already.
Good video.....but it kind of scary that this isn’t just common sense Side note / tip : most helmets have a screen and then “foam” on the inside - rip out the foam and you get way better air flow (you’re welcome lol)
@@007.3l I have the ignites as well. I charge them every night and have never had a battery died on me. I mostly use the interval heat setting, works awesome!
You should never wipe the inside of your goggles... Most companies have an antifog coating on the inside lens. Once you've wiped it off they will fog more easily forevermore.
You can wipe it all you want with the right cloth, but you’re spot on about the coating. I made the rookie mistake years ago of using cleaner on the inside of my Radius goggles and it took the coating right off.
That's a poor option for this type of riding. I have a heated closed visor helmet and when i feel off once the cable gets snow in it then refuses to stay plugged in and I'm sure the water doesn't help the electrical part lol. Not to mention the cord is just getting in the way, snagging on branches etc.
@@nr5834 true with the heated part I suppose.. idk my dad always had a heated visor but I always liked just a plain flip visor for sledding as you can open it for a second or 2 if its starts to fog up and the fog* disappears with it open for a few seconds then just close it up and good to go
stop getting stuck, and ignore your friends when they are stuck ... thats how you keep your goggles clear
Sucks that it’s illegal to leave someone that’s stuck
When i get stuck its bad enough that i have to take off my helmet, jacket and sweater haha.

I guess that helps. But we up north in -30°c it’s pretty hard to keep your goggles from fogging... or frosting
I ride in-10 degrees Fahrenheit
@@dw685 zero kelvin
Jordon H I find my 509 Breath box helps with fogging a lot! And I’m lucky enough that my goggles don’t fog when I take my helmet off.
Check out the Klim Arctic or Glacier balaclavas. I have the arctic for riding in -30 in northern Canada.
@@carsondelwisch7603 what is that breath box?

Goggle fogging in a moisture management issue and this video covers it very well.

brpmd agreed I have never had a sled with clickers and want to know how to set them up
Clickers are the best thing since sliced bread.
Tighten them up for trails and loose for the powder.
I picked up the 509 heated goggles. They work awesome. Fogging is a thing of the past. Though you’ll need to get either two pair or the extra battery. As one set won’t last a whole day. Pricy but worth it.

Who else got excited when he ripped the throttle and rode away🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️ Great vids man
what brand/model neckie are you using that goes over your ears as well?
5:33 It sounds like a deer screaming "Mom". lol Also thank for the tips.
Helmet goggles together, and set on hood vents, to de fog, and warm your helmet. Been doing it that way for 30+ years.
A little breezy today eh Dan?!
One thing I have found that really Jack's me up as having a mustache. Trying to tuck that lip under and breathe down you're breathing right in your mustache so facial hair is definitely a disadvantage!
Awh, you've found the true purpose for the mountain bar! A goggle holder.. Excellent!🤣

Electric shield kicks ass on all these tips.
I have glasses and I over heat allot and when I stop they fog up just from heat

love the background noise
Nope talkin about slex stuff in sled weather was perfect.
Freakin send it bud
Thanks
thanks bro
Get a Mike with a fuzzy protector or foam protector to stop wind noise in your audio. I heard that works well.
next vids would be suspension set up ,it would be sick!
Awesome tip
Dont know if it makes sense or is right at all, but i noticed when i had my goggles just a bit to tight my goggles kept getting foggy, But after i loosened them up a bit they were good.
Speed is the ultimate soulution.
When you have glasses and even breathing while resting fogs your glasses and goggles
Are you rocking a monosuit or jacket? If so which one?
goggle fan works wonders if you can get it to work with your setup
I just got one and can’t get it to work. Goggles fog up in the matter of 10 minutes.
Super critical
What color of lenses do you recommend for different types of weather (sunny, cloudy, snowy etc)? Thx
Polarized leads the way.
I dont understand why one of these companies hasnt designed a helmet that seals to your mouth/nose so when you breath it directs your breath down and/or away.. I have the CKX titan with electric goggles, they are great however if you area breathing hard they will fog too.
Or, just wipe the inside down with shaving cream and allow it to dry like us two-wheel freaks do.
Oh ok I'll try that
The best solution to fogging is the cxk titan, just pop the muzzle open when you stop.
Leave them on, and when you take them off put them somewhere warm. It's as simple as that.
Coming here from airsoft, I guess there isn't a magical way to eradicate that fog :D
Been waiting for a video like this. I cant keep a pair of goggles from fogging.

Electric full face .... never had these problems
Louis Dion riding with a cord attached to your helmet fuckin sux bud
Once you figure out the helmet & goggle combo that works for you, you’ll never want to mess with an electric shield bucket ever again.
Take of the balaclava in -25° + wind coming from the north. That shit gets cold realquick
I ride with a bag that fits the entire helmet and goggle. Kind of over the top but it protects from stray shovels of snow, wind and evil buddies when digging out.

I will try to put shaving cream today. I will share how it goes tomorrow
Great video but You might need to buy a Titan CKX Helmet 🤔 there system is unbelievable
509 heated goggles. Revolutionary for goggles :)
Wish they'd sell spare batteries directly and not cost $90

yes they are

wash the inside of your goggles with Dawn dish detergent!

Rubbing alcohol works too.
