I've hopped on the sunglasses wave instead of goggles lately, and it feels a lot easier skiing switch and really doing anything. But they tend to fog just enough to bother me and cause me to stop before features frequently to shake them until they defog. Any tips on how to prevent them from fogging so much?

I've been riding in glacier glasses, and It is way harder to ski switch lmao. Can't see shit and can't twist my head like a demon.
but if you take em off on the lift or anywhere, don't put em in your hoodie pocket, or even against your forehead, the heat change will make it more likely to fog.

you should switch out your winter gloves for a pair of work gloves. It will really complete your trendy look.

Are they quality lenses or some gas station shades? If decent quality try using an anti-fog cloth, you can get Smith branded clothes at a lot of ski shops.
I wear my glasses so I can see and they have magnetic sunglasses lens, I just hate precipitation of any kind while skiing but that’s where the brim come in

They’re quality, got em as a gift but I know they’re not cheap

Dont do this! Sunglasses can shatter when skiing causing shards of glass to damage your retina and perhaps permanently blinding you! Always wear safety glasses when skiing in case of debris or ice flying up and hitting your eyes. Better safe than sorry...

you say this with humor but I unironically spot park kids skiing in hi-vis vests, cheapo lab safety goggles, and construction helmets on a daily basis... they're branded with the engineering firm their dad works at, ofc lol.
the good news is on shades, unlike with most goggles, you can use anti-fog treatment on them without worrying about it much. go choose some high quality stuff and put it on/have it around plus a clean dry cloth in your pocket to wipe em off with
also depending on how they fit you, a lot of times you can reduce fog by having them out on the bridge of your nose a little more, gives more room for air to flow through
Oakley Sutro, Smith Wildcat, 3M safety glasses. Sunglasses designed for going fast will be less likely to make your eyes water a ton. Also don't cover your nose or it'll shoot warm air at the lens making it fog.
KilaTsunamiTry the new Pit Viper Synthesizer's theyre amazing.
Also anti fog spray always in the bag bro cmon
I suppose that's what i gotta invest in, but i can't exactly shove a bottle of anti fog spray down my pants without risk of destroying it on a rail or hardpack

i've seen them in disposable, single-use wipe form, and i'm pretty sure i've seen cloths sold that have anti-fog juice built in. can't tell you how well they work or anything but worth checking. small and cheap
eheathLove me some sunglasses, if its sunny and at least 25 outside I'll wear sunnies over gogs, but when its cold and/or snowing the gogs are the play.
same, basically once every so often you get a storm day or cold day that reminds you you do need good goggles
ive had plenty of storm days where some of us had the best day of the winter, and others had to go back to the car just cause of differing goggle situations

U put it on before hand and it last a good while. Some other anti fog pointers
-Don’t put your goggles on your forehead when resting. Instead take the whole goggle or just lenses off
-Dry the lenses and goggle frame separately after each time they get wet
-Try not to break the foam seal with ur neck gaiter

I usually fully take them off on the lift, and I don't wear any sort of gaiter or anything like that. I'm gonna give this anti fog stuff a shot

Rain-X Anti-Fog treatment is available at hardware stores. I use it on my lenses for running and cycling, applying occasionally after a cleaning.
Just be mindful if your lens is glass or plastic, as treatments may be designed for only one or the other. They will also potentially ruin any tints/films on the lenses you have, so its best to use on lenses without tints.
Having the glasses sit as far away from your face as possible will help too, to let hot air escape faster.

How do you manage to put sunglasses over your goggles? It seems like they would fall off. Would you mind attaching an image of your sunglasses over your goggles? That would be interesting to see

I’ll wear hi vis vests street skiing cause I often bike to the spot, or I’m on a snowmobile trail and want to be seen. And I’ll wear thin work gloves cause they’re good for building and filming. Sometimes I wear my hi vis raincoat to the mtn cause it’s durable and super waterproof, or backcountry skiing so in case I get lost search and rescue can find me easy lol. I also worked in construction for years
kids rocking the work gear in the park def kind of a try hard look though, and wearing a hard hat is so stupid a hard hat is not even remotely similar to a helmet
