Everytime I try wearing a buff(I put the top under the bottom of my goggles like lots of people do) It fogs up my goggles, any ideas on stopping this? I'm using an OR yowie, should I try tightening the goggles? would having a helmet with decent ventilation to the goggles stop this?(got smith I/o goggles and a head rebel helmet, thought about getting a new helmet with a better fit)

Stop exhaling. 

Seriously.  With that thing tucked under your goggles, every time you breathe out, all of that warm, moist air goes straight into your goggles.  Instant fog.

Put the yowie under your nose as opposed to tucked under your goggle. I do that with all my face covers. Let's you breathe, but doesn't fog up your shit.

i put my yowie under my nose as well. what i do also is have it very high up the back of my head, almost on top of my head. then i put my beanie on top and my goggles over it all. between goggles, beanie, and finally, helmet, along with the added tension of it being around more of my face, it stays in place nicely.

love my yowie, i wear it every day skiing no matter how hot it is.

Ski real fast. The airflow through your gogs will clear them real quick.

But for real, just have them not quite under your goggles. Like a ninja. Having it over your mouth and under your nose looks gaperific, in my opinion. Plus your nose still gets cold.

put a little hole right infront of your mouth. make sure you exhale out of that... then you can still tuck your shit in/

Buy an actual ski mask instead. They have airholes designed for this.
