[QUOTE="enduro8, post: 135145, member: 19941"] At the Quicksilver national in 2000 I ended up with a DNF because I took off my goggles. Too much mud in my eyes combined with freezing rain pounding me. I run the Scott dual pane lenses and that pretty much eliminates the fogging problem. Sometimes the fog a tiny bit, but nothing compared to anything else I have tried. Either get the kind with no vents or tape over the vents if it is raining (I have had rain get between the dual panes if it is a vented pair...actually that is why i took my goggles off at the 00 quicksilver). Rain-X on the outside works great. I rub it on lightly and then let it sit for about 30 seconds to let it dry a bit. Then rub it till your hands turn blue. Use contacts if you can, othwise use Rain-X no fog on your glasses as well. They eye glasses was probably a major part of the reason you had the fogging problems. My experience is to not use roll offs at all if it is raining. They hinder your view, things get stuck and broken too easy. The fishing wire trick does not really work for me, and neither does adding flaps to keep the rain out, etc. Once you take your goggles off you are pretty much screwed since you can not put that pair back on without major problems. When it is really muddy or raining I carry an extra set of goggles in my fanny pack, and I send a pair out to every gas stop. I swap in a new pair at gas even if the pair I am wearing is not trashed (yet). If I cant see at all I will pull over and put on the fresh set out of my fanny pack. It is worth the stop because if you are racing with rain pounding in your eyes you are going to lose time anyways. enduro8 [/QUOTE]
