Now, technology has advanced the world of vision, but one problem remains a pest through every ski season:\u00a0<em>fogged up ski goggles<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fear not, we&#8217;ve got you covered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>It&#8217;s going to happen<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your anti-glare technology touting, crystal clear lenses that claim to be fog proof are no match for science. Simple chemistry doesn&#8217;t care if you&#8217;ve spent top dollar on top of line ski goggles, you&#8217;re going to experience goggle fog. To this day, it&#8217;s a problem that has yet to be conquered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How it happens<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your body is warm. It&#8217;s even warmer when bundled in ski gear. When your body heat is on one side of your goggles and freezing temperatures are on the other side of your goggles, you&#8217;re bound to get foggy lenses. Over a day of skiing, you might be alright in the beginning, but as your body gets warmer and the lenses get colder, you&#8217;re more liable to be frustrated by fogged lenses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How to avoid it<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are a few ways you can combat foggy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.galaxylense.com\/products\/Oil-Rig\">lenses<\/a>. None of them will defeat lens fog forever, but they&#8217;ll definitely keep it at bay as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t put your goggles on your head. When not using them, people often rest their goggles on their heads just above the eyes. Not a great idea, because your heat is literally letting off steam, creating a sauna for your lenses. When not in use, store them in their goggle bag away from heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the vents. Modern goggles have pretty good ventilation below and above the lenses, so make sure those vents aren&#8217;t covered and hindered from doing their job. Blocked goggle vents don&#8217;t let cool air in nor warm air out, leaving you fogged before you know it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be gentle with them. The worst thing that people do is reach in with a wet glove and attempt to wipe off the inner lens. You&#8217;re only going to make the fogging worse for yourself by incorporating\u00a0<em>more moisture<\/em>\u00a0that runs the risk of freezing on the inside of your lenses. Your best bet is having a completely dry lens wipe with you or taking them into the ski lodge and using the restroom hand dryers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a ski slope evil we&#8217;ve not yet fully defeated, but there are ways to combat lens fog this ski season. Remember these tips and you&#8217;ll be riding fog-free more often than not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1936, with World War II bubbling, Ray-Ban first designed aviator sunglasses using polarized lenses, a technology created by the founder of the Polaroid Corporation, Edwin Land.
