Dry your goggles out that's why it fogs up between the lens. Never keep them in the bag at home and make sure they dry properly and you will be all good. Fog between the 2 lenses is almost always user error.
yeah you gotta make sure to let them dry out, so store them somewhere cool and dry and dust free in your house
if it's too much of a pain you might consider buying two pairs of cheaper goggles rather than one good one, so that you can swap them out whenever you want. some of my buddies do that. i just try to keep my oakleys in great shape, they're the only piece of equipment i baby... gotta be able to see to slay
Even worse when I get to the bottom and I’m panting like an Alaskan Malamute in the Grand Sahara and then I’ve gotta pull up my face mask over my nose b/c Covid and instantly I’m just blind as a bat, stepping over people’s skis in line, trying to angle my head to see through the tiny square inch hole in the goggle fog, bumping into all the Karens, getting yelled at, etc. but if I pull up my goggles to my forehead then not only will they get foggier but my helmet falls off because of course my goggles are underneath it (cause I’m rad as hell) and, well, maybe this can be blamed on a variety of factors but tbh I’m just pissed off at my fogged up goggles that consistently ruin my day so yeah I’m with you OP.
definitely gotta take them out of their goggle bag AND out of the ski gear bag. there is moisture between the lenses that needs to dry out. make a habit of taking those, your boots, gloves, hat, neck gaiter out of your bag the minute you get home and placing them near a heat vent. works 100% of the time everytime.

my issue is it was the first day out with them and they started to fog like bitch right away

what is possible is that while they may have been new, did you just throw them in your ski bag with potentially damp gloves, hats, etc.? that moisture found it's way into the goggles. i've had this exact scenario happen and my only workaround that day was to take the goggles off on the lift and put them in my jacket to unfog and then ski down with the goggles only to have them fogged by the time i got to the bottom. i repeated this process all day until the air temp or humidity level matched that of the goggles.

yeah it's mad frustrating and there's really no good way to fix it quickly. at that point you just hope you have shades around to use, another pair of goggs, or can freeball it
Op your goggles are toast. Clearly the seal is broken between the two lenses somewhere. There should never be moisture in between the lenses. They can still be used but you're bound to have this problem recur. Suggest getting new lenses.

that is simply not true. The only thing sealing the two lenses is typically dense foam and glue. moisture can find a way through that. The easiest "fix" is to properly dry out equipment when you are done with them for the day.
I always carry a pair of lab/safety glasses in my pocket for flat light and foggy conditions and when my goggles inevitably fog by the end of a snowy day, $2 at Lowe's, i'd recommend getting the ones with rubber on the nose piece so it doesn't hurt your nose when you fall :)

I said they'll still work but the purpose of dual panes is to prevent fogging. Once that seal is broken, no matter how good or bad it originally was, they will never perform to 100%.
It would be interesting to hear from the manufacturer how they are actually made. I'd be willing to bet that inner air doesn't have much if any humidity at all when it leaves the factory.

I really hate being wrong so I reached out to Oakley regarding their dual pane lenses. Considering lenses eventually find a way to get moisture inside as you mentioned, the seal is a weak one and could be better. Most of us have probably experienced this issue if you've got dual pane lenses. It's pretty obvious that the problem continues to recur even when drying them out. The lenses should never do this as it conflicts with their design, hence why I said op should get new lenses. Drying out certainly works for most days but when you get a high humidity pow day, good luck, especially if it's 0F outside and that moisture freezes (personal experience).

Well done. Maybe it's just all the oakley's i own then. I have had it happen on my flight deck lenses, crowbars, aframes. All spherical lenses 🤔

Lmao it's a sickness I'm afflicted with unfortunately
This year I get a lot of fogging/freezing on the outside from the masks. Inside a little and freezing too if mask somehow is wicking moisture under the goggle if you stick it under the goggle.
There is one goggle (single lens) that I hardly ever see anyone have issues with... Oakley E Frame with regular orange lens. There's some variations on it but the E frame is pretty small. It will get moisture on inside if you put a mask over it but the outside I've never seen fogged or frozen. O frame was similar.
