Spitting. Works in the ocean while scuba diving and it works with swimming goggles too. It's free and I have it with me always endless supply. But it has to be done to dry goggles to be the most effective. Then rinse gently. And of course you do that in the showers while you are washing yourself before getting into the pool (important hygiene thing, which many/most people don't do). I wouldn't use soap or toothpaste. If there are residues from either one and it gets into the eyes, it will be a huge problem. Flame works only if your goggles have glass like scuba masks have. The soot creates a film on the glass. I wouldn't use this even with my dive mask.

I swim in the ocean all year round in water that varies from 12C to 20C. A small drop of mild shampoo on the lens before swimming, rubbed around gently with a finger tip, then rinsed out using moderate water pressure only (fresh water), completely stops my goggles fogging up. I swim for continuous periods of up to two hours. This method has never failed me.

@stephaniexyz37816 жыл бұрын
The hack with the flame only works with scuba diving masks, because they are made of tempered glass and don't have any antifog layer when you buy them. The theory behind is, that the silicone from the body of the mask loses fat after a while which gets on the glass. With a flame you burn this fat (this takes a few minutes), then you have to remove the burnt black fat layer and no fogging will occur. (By the way, that is the best way of treating your scuba mask against fogging, but only if you know what you are doing!) The lenses of swimming goggles are not made of glass, they are made of plastic. So I wouldn't recommend using fire! For the same reason I also wouldn't recommend thooth paste. The tempered glass of scuba masks almost can't be scratched, but plastic can. Thooth paste has tiny cleaning particles in it, even if you don't see them, that might scratch your swimming goggles.

I never have fogging after I learned this trick. 1 part "no tear" baby shampoo and 4 parts water. Mix and put in a spray bottle. Spray your googles before each swim and rinse quickly in the pool or sink before putting them on. Enough soap will remain and you will have clear googles for your whole swim. After swimming make sure to rinse googles with clean tap water to prevent a buildup of chlorine and other pool chemicals. No need to buy expensive "no fog" sprays. The soap disrupts the surface tension of water and formation of microscopic droplets that cause fogging.

None of the above works well or not at all because the reason goggles fog is that there is a temperature difference between inside and outside the lens. It's condensation. What you need to do is to make the temperature difference as close to zero. To do that, what you can do is to dip your face and your goggle under water long enough to cool them down to the same temperature. Then, put your goggle on your face. This way, you can keep the temp difference to the minimum and therefore keep the fogging to minimum. It all boils down to temp difference between the inside and the outside of goggle. You know, in winter, your house's windows get foggy because inside is warmer than outside. Your body gets heated up while you swim, so at some point the inside gets warmer than outside. But, if water is warm enough, you can get away with it for some time. It may not work where water temp is very low. I swim open water in Connecticut during summer where water temp is 60+. I think dipping my face and my goggle long enough get me going at least a mile or so. Again, the fogging is caused by temp difference between water temp (outside of your goggle) and the air trapped inside of your goggle which is constantly warmed up by your physical activities. Maybe cooling your face around your eyes with ice helps if you swim in very cold water.
@eternauta59022 жыл бұрын

I am an open water swimmer & have found that even with new googles (I've tried many makes) that the anti-fog in them lasts only a few swims. Thats even following manufacturers care instructions. Its probably due to the water being a lot colder than in a pool. I have found that after my swim I put a drop of soap/shampoo in them when I have a shower & they never fog up

1) I noticed you guys are using the same pair of goggles for each test. If you did otherwise, it was not clearly stated or shown. You started the first test by saying "these are anti-fog goggles". In order for any of these tests to have an even close-to accurate rating, each pair of goggles that is tested NEEDS to be a different pair without anti-fog. 2) Each different pair of goggles needs to be tested once before the "hack" in order to ensure fogging and in order to see if the "hack" is actually doing anything, or if it would have done nothing anyway. This is the only way to insure that your independent variable is having ANY effect at all! 3) Before each dive, you need to make sure that the temperature of your face is either much higher or much lower than the water you are diving into. And the temperature of your face needs to be the same for each test before each dive in order to create the same fogging affect and obtain consistent results. Summary: The numbers are absent, the facts are incomplete (and almost entirely based on random opinions or myths) and the tests are inconsistent. Making this "hack/test" video a fail.

A backup method of avoiding fogging in goggles is to place a few mls of water in each lens and to leave it there with the goggles fitted over the eyes. Introduce just enough water so that when you shake your head gently, the water will wash over the inside of the lens. If when your head turns to breathe the water goes in your eye/s, you have too much water inside the goggles - it won't take long to experiment and get the right amount. Then every time there is any fogging, just gently shake your head while swimming and you will have perfect fog-free vision again.

So your eyes are made of mostly water. And even with dry goggles, the temperature difference between your body and the pool water, PLUS the fact that moisture is always evaporating from your eyes, are gonna cause fog. Likely the shampoo/soap (and toothpaste for that matter) because most contain some type of glycerin, which forms a film and is a humectant (ie absorbs moisture) thus absorbing the humidity escaping from your eyes.

I find that the anti fog solution is good as long as it is used accurately. It should be the same brand as the goggles you purchased. For example, I use Aquasphere goggles so I use Aquasphere anti fog drops. How to use: dry the lens after swimming and apply one drop on the inside of each lens, rub this drop into each lens and let sit overnight. The next day, lightly tissue off any excess. This works for me. The only drawback is when the temperature of the outdoor pool is much warmer than the air or vice versa. It is more likely to fog up. It took me years to find the right way of using the anti fog drops. They say apply and wait two minutes or so before use. This never worked for me. I will try the shampoo idea.

No.1 - they WILL fog up, so learn to deal with it. In the pool it shouldn't be any problem (and I kind of like the idea of swimming in my own world having only a black blurred line to guide me). But in OW... No.2 - when the anti-fog wears off, I use baby shampoo to a) clean all the grease, and b) leave a thin coat that will prevent fogging for a couple of days (just apply a little bit, and rins off with fresh watter making sure you leave as little as you can. It works just the same way as repalce anti-fog spray (I've tried them), is much cheaper and you can take the scent of your baby daughter with you for motivation. Do this specially the day before as OW swim, practice or race.

Re. Flame, you misunderstood the purpose: it is only intended for (1) *new* dive masks with (2) GLASS LENSES!!!! The idea is to burn-off any silicone and/or release agent left on the inside of the glass lens(es) from the manufacturing process. It works but it is entirely inappropriate for plastic swim goggles! Scrubbing with white toothpaste (e.g. Colgate) is a popular alternative to using a flame (I use a flame first and then clean up around the edges with toothpaste). Definitely worth doing. Some masks/manufacturers need this more than others (e.g. Omer Alien masks really need this cleaning, in my experience).

Applying a thin layer of soap (any kind, solid, liquid, shower gel, shampoo, shaving cream, detergent) to a surface (glass or mirror) will form a super-smooth hydrophilic layer that prevents the formation of micro water drops that fogs the glass or plastic. The amount of soap is really important, the amount that appears in the video is too much and so it is necessary to rinse off the excess (avoiding the formation of a layer of translucent but not transparent liquid soap). Try rubbing your finger clean but a little damp in the soap and then applying it to the inside of the googles. Applying with the tip of a tissue can be an alternative. Spread well with another finger or part of the dry tissue until the layer is very thin and smooth. Rinsing will dilute the thin layer of soap too much and will last less time. Saliva has a similar effect because its constituents allow it to have less surface tension than water. Problems with these techniques: Excessive soap can get into the eyes and cause chemical irritation. One more reason to use very little soap. Saliva contains bacteria that can cause conjunctivitis ... as the environment inside the googles is humid the path is open to your eyes. Avoid this.

Should have taken the science thing a bit further. Condensation occurs due to temperature difference. But the humidity in the air determines the amount of fog on the lense forming. So to me it doesnt make sense to ADD moisture into the goggles by washing then beforehand. Even washing out antifog/saliva/soap just before swimming doesnt make sense. So i think coating with antifog/soap/saliva onto try lenses..wait a bit for a layer to form and dry..then wash out…BUT then let them dry before using…bit of a hassle timingwise…worth a try.

Soap works on the same principle as spit, it maintains a film of water on the inner surface, so it cannot fog. I just use some shampoo or hand soap from a sink in the locker room and rinse it well, but not too well in the shower. Reapply on every swim or every other swim. In my experience using saliva eventually gets grease on the lenses, and then saliva does not manage to maintain a film. Detergent is much better in this respect, it both cleans the greases off and maintains a film!

While you might be right that the flame trick doesn't' work for your type of goggles, the diver's mask very well coul dbe a different type of material on which it does work, or there are multiple types, and it works on one of the types.

Hi GTN! Do I need to leave the the toothpaste for as long as possible and rinse my goggles just before jumping into the water?

Baby shampoo diluted with water rubbed in onto the glass lasts for 4 dives 35 to 60 minutes each dive. It really works good.

There should just be stuff called anti fog gel for goggles since literally every swimmer has this problem haha hahahahaha 🤣🤣

Scuba divers use the flame not on their goggles. They use the flame on their masks to clear out the cilicone which foggs the mask. And it really does work better than any other technique.

When testing it would be better to apply treatment to only one side so you have a comparison with the other.

Just keep a small amount of water inside your goggles when you put them on. Of course, not enough to prevent you from being able to see, but just about enough to remove the condensed water as you swim.

In my last tri, I had horrendously foggy goggles (making me zig zag all over the place trying to get to the buoy). I'll give the lick a try for my next event (half IM in November)!

the anti fogging solution never really worked for me. I even degreased my goggles in my ultrasonic cleaner(the anti fog coating is alrdy worn off, so it's okay) and then applied it, yes the goggle don't fog too bad, but instead bigger drops of water start to form, so i can see somehow. It also didn't work on my sunglasses. Funny thing, when i asked the shop owner"Does this actually work?" And he honestly answered"Well, you should use it more as a cleaning solution, rather than anti fog soltion"

I feel like they just don't have a fog problem because of their new googles. I can definitely say that my spit is not doing anything to my old googles in saltwater. Nor is rinsing. and toothpaste only helps for a few minutes. Time for me to get some new googles and I'll try to keep them clean and dry and not touch the inside.

Many years of swimming, lick my finger with a bit of 'extra' saliva, rub the inside of my goggles, rinse them immediately, and they stay unfogged for over an hour (at least?).

rub a dry candle on them , spread with your finger to coat, the buff to a visible lens. works great, not sure how long it lasts. kinda like waxing your car. but candle wax is thicker.

what brand was the anti fog soloution

Honestly, the only trick that works for me, and I tried them all, is to apply BABY SHAMPOO, let it stay for 3-4 mins and rinse. I do it after every swim and last the whole workout. It works like a charm. Use baby shampoo because other soap will irritate your eyes. It leaves a film on the surface of the goggles, thus preventing fogging. Sorry GTN, but this should be 5*.

GTN, I counted. There were actually 9 ways to provent fogging. Also I reckon fresh water or saliva are the best remedies.
