SO this post is only for those of you who sweat *a lot*. For example, its 0 deg C outside, you have been outside in your underwear standing in the snow, and you start *thinking* about putting some clothes on - and you start sweating. Then you are in the "heavy sweaters" club - and this post applies to you.

So if you are a heavy sweater and you wear goggles - find anything good? Have a system that works well?

And again, if you have the little girlie sheen on your face after two hours of hard riding - thats not sweating, thats "perspiring" - just go home. I am talking about litres of sweat. Soaked to the bone.

I've taken a lot of flack for this in the past and I'm likely to do again but it works. Slip a sanitary towel on the sweatband in your helmet.

what about a divers mask? if they can keep water out they must be alright.

Mind you, if you sweat through you eyes you may have to stop to empty them out every hour.

hope this helps.

Cue the "I bet you look a right t**t" comments

Preferably unused !

If the main reason for the original post is a problem with 'fogging' of the goggles due to sweating..then there are a few 'anti-fog' liquids you can apply to the inside of your goggles before you wear them.

Most diving shops sell a very small bottle of goggle treatment which has worked well for me in my 'paint-balling ' days.

Read the title and thought i was going to swap my Aran jumper for a pair of Oakleys

Thanks TooFastTim - I have heard of that before and I think I need to go that route. I think I'd saturate it quickly but it would be better than what I have now.

As for the other suggestions - I am looking for tips from guys who are heavy sweaters and have had some success with keeping their goggles clear. No guesses or theory please.

Uvex googles are best ive used but squash googles are great as they are cheap n designed with sweating in mind

Theres various enduro goggles on sale with a double lens to stop fogging id start there!

How much sweat are we talking? i get the odd bead running into my eye now and again!

Double glazed lens is a must. Smith turbo goggles actually do work if you're prepared to pay for them.

I have this issue snowboarding more than riding. All I can do really is keep them impeccably clean and get them off my head as often as is practical.

Oakley enduro goggles - basically O Frames with a double lens. They never seem to fog up. I've not ridden in freezing conditions but have in some serious rain. I get very hot and sweaty.

If you sweat or are in heavy rain the sponge gets wet. Air in the goggles gets moist and condenses on the lens. It still happens if air flow is low even with Oakley no fog double lensed goggles.

The only way to prevent it at walking speeds or slower are:

1. Cut four 1cm wide notches into the foam top and bottom. One each side. This acts as in and out points for air. Eyes might water if on the road at speed though!

2. Take goggles off when in a section or slow period (no pun intended).

3. Use no fog safety glasses to allow max airflow.

4. Wear no eye protection if your the lead rider?

5. Diving helmet.

Yes,Smith turbo fans are the ONLY choice,Sweat pours outa me any time it's over 70 degrees,and I always used Turbofans when I raced Harescrambles,they did work when nothing else would.

Thanks guys - great suggestions.
