Hi India, The goggles I have do not fog/frost up during my regular 6 mile commutes in town. They have the brand name Native and although I don't think this model is still carried, the Native Coldfront model looks to be very similar. Along with this I have a Gula brand balaclava, it is a synthetic polartec rather than wool material. When it's cold (in the negative temps F) I'll supplement the balaclava with a second layer of face protection, this is a stretchy synthetic "tube" that I no longer remember the name of, Yellow Jersey used to sell them on State Street. For a helmet, I have a Lazer winter helmet, I'm not sure the model but the Lazer Effect and Dissent look very similar. It has adjustable vents, a rear LED blinking light, covers the ears and is made to be used with goggles. With this combination my head and face are warm and comfortable, no skin is exposed, and the goggles don't fog up. The negative aspects are that I can't hear as well due to the insulation around the ears and my peripheral vision is reduced due to the shape of the goggles. But it is quite comfortable. Not sure if the issue with your goggles fogging is due to the design of the goggles, or possibly moist air getting through the marino wool to the goggles? Good luck!

Hi all, I am outfitted to bike through severe cold temperatures, but find that my nose is sometimes still exposed and in danger of frost nip. If I pull my merino wool balaclava up to cover my nose, my goggles fog up. In the past I have used a fleece ear warmer as an add-on around my head at nose-level, but it's sort of precarious. Just seeing what others do for full face protection when the temperatures (without wind factor) are in the -10 to -20 range? -India Founding Member, Madison Bikes <http://www.madisonbikes.org/> *Envisioning a city where everyone can ride a bicycle conveniently and comfortably, year round.* MadisonBikes.org <http://www.MadisonBikes.org> Follow Madison Bikes on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/groups/MBIIC/> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
