Desert locust goggles fogging

[auzzie]

Yep, my pair of desert locust goggles fogged up a few times. But last time was last Saturday when it was super hot. Would it be possible for me to send them back to the company for a replacement? Maybe I got a 'broken' pair. Mine did come with some anti fog wipes but they dried up. Those worked. I have a feeling that might be the problem not using them.

Did you remove the foam lining? That SHOULD get rid of most, if not all fogging problems.

I would just get rid of them. My brother bought two pairs of the Desert Locusts and both ended up being shot off his head. The first pair I shot off (on accident) from across the Eastside field, maybe 30' away. My rifle was shooting 330 with a .2 and I was using .25's in it. Nothing out of the ordinary. My shot hit somewhere near the strap mount and when it hit the mount broke and released the strap which whipped around and flung his goggles off. I forget the situation with his second pair but it was pretty much the same as before. It was in CQB with a sub 350 rifle and it was no where near point blank. The outcome was the same with the goggles being flung off after the strap was released. We figured the first time was a fluke but after it happened twice something had to be up.

He received them from a well known distributor and they were in factory sealed boxes. We have no reason to think they were clones or copies. I'm sure many have used them without issue but I would never trust them.

As far as goggles fogging up it is a personal thing. My ESS profiles will only fog on me in the absolute worst heat and humidity while I'm not moving. One of my team mates tried a pair of profiles and they wouldn't stop fogging. He wears Flakjacks and has only minor issues. I would suggest trying the popular makes and models of goggles until you find the one that works. As far as I know you won't get replacement goggles for fogging. Maybe a replacement lens but even that would be unlikely. Can't hurt to try though.

I have some of the worst fogging issue's known to man, and it does not matter what goggles I try. ESS Turbo fans, Smith OTW Turbo Fans. I found something that actally works check this out.

It works like a goggle defogger.

Was there when the goggles got shot off. I own may pairs of those goggles and couldng believe it happen.
