    Could someone recommend me a pair of goggles that won't fog up?

    Can't see where I'm going when swimming in the sea with the ones I have.

    I found my Aqua Sphere Lady Kaimans great for swimming in the sea while on holiday.

    By contrast I found aquaspheres terrible.

    You can get antifog solution which helps.

    Zoggs Predator Flex for me, the ones with the polarised lens for outdoor use, works a treat in my opinion.

    Antifog solution will solve the problem.

    Most goggles are coated when you get them but over time it will wash/wear off.

    The particular goggles brand or model is not the issue.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rain-81199200-Anti-Fog-Repellent/dp/B002G291SW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1404209936&sr=8-6&keywords=rainex

    I tried this hydrophobic solution with great results. Small dab on both sides of lens. Let dry - then buff. No effect on lens or seal integrity and have been using this method for year and a half, despite the warning "Please be aware that it is not recommended for use on plastic surfaces". Available in most motor access shops and there are a few different brands. Muuuch better value than the dedicated little bottles of anti-fog in sports shops.

    ....or you could try the cheaper option of spitting in your goggles ;)

    The spitting thing never worked for me - warm goggles or facemask in cold water just fog for me after a few mins. Toothpaste ditto. I needed some kind of hydrophobic coating that didn't restrict vision.

    However, if spit works for you griffin100 - go buy icecreams for your swim buddies with the money you saved! :-)
