Safety Goggles?

[Nil]

Anyone have any luck finding a pair of safety goggles that are comfortable, don't fog up, and don't let dust in? I know the chemistry type goggles don't have enough ventilation so they totally fog. I've used safety glasses, and dust just goes right around them and into my eyes. I'm guessing a face shield would basically be the same, hence I'm looking for the perfect pair of goggles. Maybe motorcycle goggles?

I've got a pair (http://www.amazon.com/Dewalt-DPG82-1...8179465&sr=1-4) that are only sort of comfy (they do leave a mark on my face that takes a few hours to go away), take about 2 hours to fog up much, but do keep the dust out. Some people might like that they're big enough to wear glasses under...not me. I wish they were smaller. This may be as good as they get, but I'd sure like better. Anyone have any success? Amazon has a LOT but many don't have any reviews so it'd just be a guessing game...

I heard that if you put some shaving cream on the lenses, then wipe them clean, they won't fog up. If you try it, and it works, let us know.

I like the full face shield that flips up. Covers more that just the eyes.

I had some Uvex goggles that were coated with an antifogging agent. I believe you can also get that agent in stick form at glasses stores (I had years ago, but not in a long time). I used them in the garage, wrenching, until they started getting scratched up (went through the coating). I then started using face shields like you use with grinders, and prefer them. I also prefer prescription safety glasses, since EVERY freakin time I switched glasses, my safety glasses wouldn't fit the new frames.

I like the bifocal ones that Woodcraft sells for $6 or $7. They don't fog up but I don't know if they would meet your criterion about dust. They work for me and I don't have to change to reading glasses when I make measurements.

The first thing I learned in Scuba Diving was to spit in your mask and rince it out. You can stay under water and never have it fog up. If you don't do it, the mask will fog up within 5 minutes. Some divers also buy the anti fogging solution to use. But why not do what comes naturally? It works!!!!!!

Have you tried swimmers goggles?

Best Anti-Fog I've Found

Finally a product that works... I stumbled on a product called Clarity Defog It on Amazon and it works GREAT. It comes in liquid or dry towelettes... I used the towelettes and they are easy, no mess and work GREAT. My son is a snow-boarder and he uses them on his goggles. My husband is a surgeon and he now uses them while prepping for surgery. Try them out... they rock.

So swimmer's goggles aren't very comfy, and they usually distort vision. I don't think spitting in my goggles (yes, I've done that with swimming goggles or masks) is going to do much more than the anti-fog coating that they already have. I think what is required is a goggle that has more ventilation but still doesn't let dust in. It'd be nicer if it was comfy too.

It's sounding like most people here don't use goggles?

I have long had problems like you. Unless experienced, it is not understood by the majority of people. I am not large but I have always had large lungs, I guess. I have climbed several mountains and to 12,000 and 14,000 ft, I cannot understand what people complain about "thin air". Seemed normal to me. That said, the only thing I can figure is that I inhale and exhale a large volume, larger than normal and that must contribute to my fogging problem. I suspect that a few people, you included, fall into this category. Just my thoughts from observations and the only thing that seems logical.

What I do is use a respirator like this and a flip up face mask over glasses. The flip up Face mask keeps things out of the eyes but heavy dust will still get there indirectly. My problem is fumes. The respirator keeps the fumes out of breathing and the flip up face mask does a tolerable job of keeping fumes from the eyes. This helps keep fogging down for me.

I haven't tried the Clarity product but I have tried other kinds and all kinds of tricks. Some work for many apparently, but not for me.

I bought a full-face 3M respirator at auction:

I probably wouldn't wear it if I didn't have allergies, but it solves all the problems you mentioned.

I wear glasses and I like to play tennis at night. I was plagued with fogging, until I discovered Parker's Perfect. It works for me.
