Winter goggles
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:42 am
This past winter we had a once-in-a-decade blizzard. I found that I was reasonably well equipped to do the minimum essential outside activities during the event; clothing, boots, headgear, gloves, etc. But the Dog must do what the Dog must do when he really really needs to do it, and that happened when it was still blowing and snowing hard and it was blinding. Either my glasses were getting crusted over or my eyes were taking the hits. The Dog wasn't happy either but he's the one who had to go out. Those of you in areas where this is more common may laugh at my situation 
I tried a pair of Army surplus gun-show goggles (the only ones I have, with laser-protective lenses, vented) that fit over my glasses a bit later, but they fogged up instantly. I tried using soap, and a real antifog spray on the lenses but they didn't help.
I'm assuming that some kind of ski goggles would work but I'm hoping someone can give me a specific recommendation. It'd be nice not to spend a _lot_ of money on them since they'll likely only be used every few years, but that was one unpleasant day (and several unpleasant walks, and tons of shoveling just to clear space for the Dog's business) so something that won't fog up and fits over glasses is needed.
Thanks
