I picked up a pair of Seth Morrison Crowbars at the Mt sunday and they fogged up hard all day. I was useing $30 bolles for a year before and never had any fog isses with them. Is there a trick to keep these defogged?

Thanks

thats weird, shouldn't be happening. maybe you have like a neck warmer tucked underneath the goggles or something? and when you breathe out the hot air goes right up into your goggles? i dunno

this happens if you have a thick hat. say your skiing in a crocheted one, thats what happened to me. so just dont put it over your hat unless its thin enough. hope this helps.

I did have the neck warmer on but it didnt even go over my nose. I was useing the same helmet and shit as I did with the bolles and it never happened. Just kinda sucked cuz I dropped some coin on these babies ans they are sexy as shit. Im gonna give em a try again when i get out of work today.

   I started to get some fog in my Crowbars during a -30 day in Quebec, it was because of my neck warmer. If you cover any vents then they start to fog. I had my neck warmer over the bottoms of the goggles, and that forced hot air up through the bottom vents, and it started fogging the bottom of the goggles. I just tucked the neck warmer up under the goggles and that pretty much eliminated it.

   Just find out where the fog is coming from in the goggle, and then unblock the vent. Otherwise I love these goggles and they keep the fog out even in the shitiest conditions. Don't give up on them, cause unless they're defective, they shouldn't fog on you again.

It may be a factory defect. I had a pair of crowbars that fogged up the first day I got them, and I brought them into my shop to ask the Oakley rep if that was normal, and he figured it was probably a defect in the anti-fog coating and gave me a new pair to try. The new pair has never fogged up.

try checking if all the peices of the goggle ( lense, out riggers...) are well in place because maybe one of them is obstructing a vent. if you hear clicking it means it wasnt in place
