Iv been rocking both smith i/o and i/ox for the last 3 years and every few days i find that the google fogs in between the lenses (so you can't wipe it away). Its been happening quite a bit lately and is supper annoying. I love the goggles but it is so annoying to have blurred unclear vision all day. Anybody been having the same issues or have any suggestions?

I have only had this problem a few times.Leaving the lense out (not in the goggle) overnight seems to help considerably.

Are you wearing a face mask under them? Mine only fog up when I have a mask on and the breath feeds into the lenses.
Taking them out & warming them/ letting them air usually helps.

Take the lens out of the goggle and leave it in the refrigerator over night.

I've been having the same problem with my goggles occasionally. If you put your bare hand on the outside of the lens the heat will make the fog evaporate. It doesn't really "fix" it, but if you do it right before you get off the lift you'll be good for the duration of the run, the fog won't form while you're in motion.

happens if you leave your goggles in a wet gogg bag overnight, make sure to take them out and keep them in a dry place when you're done skiing

If they're fogging normally crack the top so the goggles aren't attached in the top center. It allows them to ventilate and keeps you fog free. Also if you have long hair keep it out of your goggles, don't hike with your goggles on your forehead.

Might not be your problems but just sayin

Also, NEVER wipe the inside of your goggles.

Ya never wipe goggle with anything other than microfiber it can take off antifog coating. You should check out xevo optics. They have antifog infused goggles so you cant wipe away a antifog coating, have literally never had a problem with them. Its newish company that has goggles similar to smiths, produced in the same factory as zeal, spy, POC, and Bolle, but are priced way better. They also have a 30 dollar off promo code running right ( "mapro") now that is 30 dollars off anything, which brings a pair of photochromatic goggles with a night lense down to 80 bucks. I have the B-2s and they are sick

Yeah man, I found that out the hard way. I wiped the inside of my goggles (one time) and now I can't go 5 min w/ out them fogging. I love my smith I/OX's but wish someone woulda warned me bout that!
