OTG's goggles ....

The foam has disintegrated on my Turbo C.A.M.'s.
Which OTG's goggles do you like for fog free viewing these days?

Those Smith Turbo Fans are still the best. That being said, I have a cheap pair of OTG Bolle's that work in most conditions for me, and another pair of cheap OTG goggles from Julbo that are a bit narrower fit, but also do the job. Don't know the model names on either pair.
Best idea is probably to get a pair of Rx goggles, the kind with lens inserts. Expensive! Otoh, list price on Turbo Fans when you can find them, is around $180 + these days.
I'd call Voile and speak with them about the binding issues.

Oh thanks. I'll look again I couldn't find them on-line anywhere a few months ago.
Yeah am chatting with Voile via e-mail.

I've never spent real money on goggles, because I used to crack them doing slalom racing as a teen. (I was not any kind of hot-shit, but it was the done thing to man-up and ski through the poles). That's over thirty years ago...

Anyway, IME all goggles don't fog if you KEEP THEM ON YOUR EYES. Once you put them on your forehead, FUBAR.

Had to replace my goggles last season, actually should have done it a few seasons prior... same exact reason.

Replaced with Smith Squad, not sure if they are OTG. They work fine, but changing out the yellow storm lens is a real pain. If I had to get goggles again, I would look for goggles with the magnet fastening systems... if was a good price.

Speaking of ski goggle fog, this stuff never worked for me.
