So i don't know whats going on but my i/o's have been fine until yesterday and today. It's like they were foggy all day and nothing i did fixed them or even remotely did it better. any suggestions? Along the whole edge it isn't blurry though

probably got moisture inbetween the lenses... which is pretty shitty.. either warm them up in a car with the air conditioning on (will de-humidify the air). Or leave the lense in a box with some dessicant for a day or so. always nice to have a second lense!

Yeah it sucks to get moisture between the lenses. Let me guess...the fog is only in the middle of the lens and there's a clear border around it through which you can see clearly?

Leave them in the drying room over night or near a heater (not too hot) with the goggles propped up on their side. Ie. With the little white/black valve at the top so it can release the moisture. The problem is caused by not drying them out properly but this will solve it.

Gear talk, but OP look for any cracks in your lens. If moisture gets in it makes it all foggy, you will need to buy new lenses

I have this problem often with my IO's as well. Put the little circle park in the corner of the lens in rice. Submerge the entire lens if possible. Do it over night and they will be super dried out.

Don't leave your goggles in your car or garage overnight. If you are taking them inside and this still happens, it must have been really wet the day before. In that case take the lens out and leave the pieces out of the bag in a well ventilated/warm area to get them dry for the next day.

You can give the hand dryers in the bathroom a go.

If moisture can get in, it can get out. You don't need to buy new lenses because there's moisture between your lenses.

moisture doesnt "leak" in, it just is already in there but the pressure/moisture changes within the two lenses. all you need to do is dry them out overnight in a warm place and you'll be good to go

Try to get it out when you are riding when its cold, yeah right. So you are saying deal with the fog for the rest of the day, then dry it out after skiing... 0/10
