Have you ever suffered from foggy snow goggles while skiing? When I just put on the snow goggles and was about to go skiing, I suddenly couldn’t see the snow road ahead because of the fog.Such an embarrassing thing may often happen.It’s a common embarrassment when you put on your goggles and suddenly get foggy and can’t see the path ahead. How to wear outside or inside snow goggles to prevent fog? Here are some ways to share with you to solve the fogging situation.
What Causes Snow Goggles To Fog Up?
In fact, no matter what brand of snow goggles, there is an anti-fog coating on the inside of the lens,but many snow enthusiasts not only ask, why does it still fog up when there is an anti-fog coating? In fact, snow goggles lens fog is an irresistible physical phenomenon.Because the skin around the eyes will generate heat after wearing anti-fog snow goggles, and the ambient environment temperature is very low when skiing, so there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the lens, and it is this temperature difference that produces fog.Although there is an anti-fog coating on the inside of the snow lens, it can only reduce the generation of fog, but cannot completely eliminate the occurrence of fog.
How To Avoid Snow Goggles Fogging Up?
The first method is the most useful way to solve the snow goggles fogging, that is to rely on the power of technology.There are several high-tech snow goggles on the market, the main method is the use of electric heating wire or increase the air flow method.Electric heating wire heating method is similar to the car rear window glass defogging method, which is fast and effective. And increase air flow method is through the small electric fan to discharge the excess heat. The only disadvantage is one word – expensive, the price of snow goggles is several times higher than that of ordinary snow goggles, it is more suitable for friends who often ski powder snow in mountains, and friends who are not short of money.
Represented by Oakley’s Electrically Heated Anti-fog Magnetic Snow Goggles
Heated anti-fog magnetic ski goggles can be used continuously for 6 hours after direct charging. The snow goggle frame has a built-in battery. By pressing long and short, three modes of defogging can be realized: 7 minutes of temporary defog, always defog, and the former two The 40 seconds when it is turned on strengthens the defogging. Charging for 2-3 hours, temporary defogging can support all-day use (varies from person to person) and always defogging for about 3-4 hours.
Smith Fan Snow Goggles
The ventilation holes of Smith snow goggles and goggles allow fresh air to circulate in the goggles, increase the drying of the goggles, and at the same time, it is integrated with the ski helmet through the small fan ventilation system above the snow goggles to export the excess heat in the goggles for defogging.
Other anti-fog methods are aimed at the ordinary snow goggles worn by most of our snow friends. Let’s take a look at how to avoid fogging with inner and outer snow goggles.
Inside Snow Goggles
In recent years, the method of wearing snow goggles has become more and more popular. The earliest snow lovers like to use line caps to match snow goggles instead of wearing helmets. However, most ski resorts are not allowed to take cable cars and gondolas without wearing helmets, so they are helpless. You can only wear a helmet on the line cap, and over time it has become a method of wearing snow goggles inside. In addition, many skaters or big pros like to wear it inside, so this method has become popular. However, it is unscientific to wear snow goggles inside, and because the snow goggles cannot be taken off in most cases, there is a high probability of fogging. So how to have a big Pro style and avoid fogging as much as possible?
Outside Snow Goggles
In fact, the probability of fogging of this kind of snow goggles is relatively low, because the snow goggles are stuck on the outside of the helmet. We only need to ensure that we do not press the snow goggles on the face when wearing them, because the heat from the breath will flow along the helmet. The face conducts heat and causes fogging. If the solution to the fogging is also very simple, clip the snow goggles on the helmet, because the helmet is relatively cool, and the flow of outside wind will blow away the fog. It is recommended that you clip the snow goggles on the helmet when you get on the cable car, so that the inside of the snow goggles can be ventilated to keep the air flowing.
How to Properly Wear Your Snow Goggles?
1. Do not press the snow goggles into the line cap and face protection. This problem is the same as wearing snow goggles outside, excess heat will cause fogging.
2. Wear a helmet that is one size larger. A helmet with a larger size will have extra space above the head, so that the snow goggles can be clipped on the line cap to let the air flow, but it should be noted that this method is not suitable for people who sweat a lot, because the line The cap will also have excess heat after sweating, and even if it is stuck on the cap, it will cause fog.
3. Take off the helmet and snow goggles on the cable car. This is the most direct way to block the heat source. In ski resorts with hanging boxes, you can take off the helmet and snow goggles every time you ride the hanging box. You can also do this on the hanging chair, of course, the premise is that you are not afraid of the cold.
4. Wear heated magnetic snow goggles. Since the heated anti-fog magnetic ski goggles can separate the lens from the frame at any time, if it fogs up, you only need to take off the lens to dissipate the heat to remove the fog, so this kind of snow goggle is more suitable for wearing inside.
