Where my scientists at. The last few times i've gone up i've taken my goggles out of the warm car, and put them on my head, duh. Its cold outside (yeah) but i've been getting a layer of fog between the two goggle lenses, so that it cannot be wiped off. There's been nothing I can do about it, including going into the bathroom and running them under the hand warmer. The fog layer will let up a little if I take them off on the lift and expose the whole lens to cold, but it basically stays the whole day. It really messes things up.
Why is this happening and is there a way to avoid it?
I was thinking maybe hold the goggles outside the window for a few miles before I get to the parking lot so that they get cold. Dunno if that would help. It can't be damage to the lens surface because the fog is between the lenses.

How to avoid fog between goggle lenses?

What goggles? Lenses are fucked my man. If they're high quality and newish you may be able to warranty them otherwise buy a new lens.
Don't leave your goggles in your bag over night. That's the usual problem, take email out and let me dry with the rest of the kit.

I thought everyone did this? Probably a good start.
I hang all my gear, set my skis against a wall with bases up. Noting worse than a cold wet helmet or boots.
I forgot and I left my goggles in my bag after typing the advice above and they are now foggy.
Also don't put your goggles on top of your head. Keep them put away or sealed to your face. If you let moisture get on the inside it will create fog. Chances are the top of your head is wet from being out in the snow and sweating etc so as soon as you put your goggles up on your head they're gonna fog.
If I have to take them off to hike etc. take them all the way off and put them in a pocket. Carry a cloth and try to dry out the foam if it gets super sweaty too. If the foam is too saturated then moisture will just be conducted to the inside.

Once that happens, your goggles are pretty much fucked. I think some kind of seal gets messed up when you let your goggles be soaked for too long and the water will have a hard time getting out of there, and if it does, more will probably come soon. See if u can gets replacement, and if not, never leave them in a wet bag again and air dry goggles as soon as you’re done using them
I had the same problem last year and someone told me something that changed my life.
"If your goggles get wet, take the lens out of the frame and let them dry out."
So I did this every day since and haven't had a single issue.

Update on this thread. This seems to have solved the problem. Not sure because it technically could be due to conditions, but I haven't had the problem since doing this.

Glad I could help man
Even toss them ontop of your windshield defogger in the mornings on the drive if you forget to dry them out overnight or leave them in the car...hasn’t failed me yet.
