Ok so today was my first day out with my new eg2's and it was bitter cold and for some reason at the top of the goggles (where the vents are they kept fogging up. Im guessing its from hiking and the heat coming off my head. But ive never had probelms with that in any other goggle. And btw i did not put them up on my forehead at anytime when i wasnt wearing them.

I had that problem all last season with my EG2s on pow days and hiking.  They're sick-looking goggles, but they just don't vent very well.  It's a shame because they're quite pricey too, but I guess you're paying for the looks and the wide FOV.  My advice is just to take 'em off and carry them whenever you have to hike, because otherwise you're not going to be able to see anything.

they fog like a motherfucker. i still love them for the amazing field of vision, but you have to make concessions somewhere i guess. my thoughts as to why they fog is because they cover such a large area of your face that when you heat up from hiking/shredding pow (especially when it's snowing and the humidity is high anyway), the vents simply can't keep up with releasing the heat and moisture that is leaving your face beneath the goggles. i may switch to the eg1s for days when i know i'll be touring or hiking a lot. otherwise, i guess i'll just put up with it.

yeah unfortunately they fog up like nothing. whenever im hiking i just pop the frame out of the lens at the top and it pretty much acts as a ventilator. try it

i never tried this on my skiing goggles, but when i go diving i always spray some antifog into my diving goggles ( you can also spit into them if you're not disgusted by it, it works just as well...)

maybe worth a try if its really bothering you...

hmm i just used mine for the first time yesterday and had no problem with them at all. i walked inside after hiking for awhile and they immediatly fogged up (i didnt wipe them knowing it wouldnt help). as soon as i went out into the cold they cleared right up! seemed to work well for me. did you wipe them at all when they fogged?  did you wipe the inside? <<dont do that cause most including electrics put a thin anti-fogging film on the inside and if oyu wipe them if get rid of that. if oyu did get some "cat crap" and youll be fine

apparently if you put bandaids on the inside of your lens it prevents it from fogging
