You can just buy antifog and apply it on the goggles yourself.

Speedo products can be found in Royal Sporting House.. can't remember if that's the exact name, but something like that.

Regarding anti-fog.
I seldom use the anti-fog liquid for my google. Before start swimming, I'll put some water inside google and wear it.
When I'm swimming, water will clear the fog. The amount of water should not be too much as it may contact eye.
Just my 2cent... Hope it help smile.gif

Well if you contact the inner lens with water, it'll wash the antifog away.

But if you're not training or something, I don't think you need antifog. I agree it's quite pricey.

slowly bro.. swimming requires practice..
but once u got the correct technique, u wont forget it..
it's like riding bicycle.. it takes time.. but ur body will remember the process forever..
observe how people swim, then try urself.. nod.gif

owh yeah, regarding the fog problem,
i'm facing the same problem with my new arena goggle..
50bucks goggle, i thought should be ok..
but only after few times using it, then the fogs already showing up..
i bought the antifog liquid, but no effect..
after 10minutes under water, the lens start fogging again..

i think u must look particularly for those with 'anti-fog', and surely those will cost more.

Nowadays sports equipments in this country is getting more n more expensive. I also would expect it to be anti-fog if i pay rm50 for 1 pair of goggles. Have to be really careful when comes to buying things here.

How much is the antifog liquid...? Mayb u might wanna bring back tht antifog liquid to where u buy it from and return it, unless u bought it for a very cheap price.

i heard u can make ur own antifog liquid if u hav the right ingredients.... anywan tried tht b4...?

the goggle case clearly stated that it has anti-fog..

i tried my friend's goggle, his power about the same with mine..
very clear.. but he said the price is about rm80 for both lenses..

There's a speedo outlet in Pavillion. They have quite a nice selection of goggles and swimwear, just bought a new goggle there. tongue.gif Not sure if they still have the same lasting antifog coating as before. (I find that their goggle has the best antifog coating, but that was few years ago) Maybe I'll comment here after few times trying.

Anyway, the water method only last for 2-3 minutes, after that the fog will return. I used to try that. Other option is to get those baby bathgel, anti-tears type. Pour some inside the lens, spread it with finger thoroughly, then put it under running water, but don't wash all the bathgel away, leave some behind. You should be able to see a coating of soap/water wet over the inner lens. You may need to try this a few times to get a nice coating.

Try to avoid water contact as much as possible during your swimming session, it should last for several laps, or throughout the session. smile.gif

Better don't use vinegar, it smells! I tried the toothpaste method suggested by fellow forumer here, I could smell the toothpaste when swimming, and the mint in my eyes. Not a good idea laugh.gif

Vinegar smells are hard to get rid, if I remember correctly. It's acidic, will it deteriorate the rubber? I think better read the details on the windscreen bottle. Watch for those warning "If comes in contact with eye..." before you decide to use it. Later you end up spend more on medication. sweat.gif
