Instructions

    • 1

      Go inside. If you're snowboarding and your goggles are dirty or fogged, your best bet is to take a brief break and go into the lodge. The warm air will prevent snow and ice crystals from polluting your lenses.

      Knock out any snow from the goggles and vents. If there's any snow, you're best to get rid of it now.

    • 3

      Dry the goggles. If the goggles are wet or fogged use the hand-dryer in the bathroom to defog and dry them. If you don't have a hand dryer, absorb moisture with your goggle wipe. If that doesn't prove absorbent enough, blot the moisture with a soft tissue until dry.

      Spray or rub a little goggle cleaner on your microfiber goggle wipe. Avoid using napkins or paper towels, which can scratch. Many goggles come with their own microfiber bag/wipe, and you can pick one up at the ski shop. For the best results, use a goggle cleaner that's also an anti-fog agent.

      Gently wipe the lenses. Start on the outside and clean the insides if there are any spots inside. Use a separate part of the wipe to remove rub off any excess lens cleaner.
