Alright maybe I am being a little harsh, but for my system this is not the best thing and honestly i do not know what else would work. With non helmet I have not experienced a fogging problem but these occasions have been once or twice. With my system, I run a ops core helmet and I believe that the fan just does not have anywhere to push the how air to. It never foggs but the fog proof coating on inside of lense gets fully saturated with moisture and becomes dostorted. Like looking through an old window. The moisture collects at the top and works it's way down. I have mostly used these goggles on very humid days with a helmet when I am hot as all get out. This may not be the case in all situations. Saturation ususally starts within 5 minutes on high setting. Fan is also VERY loud on high. With ear plugs, helmet, and fan on high it would be hard to have a conversation in normal tone of voice from 10 feet away seriously. Low setting is not bad at all. Still can be heard but could definately have a normal conversation while tooning out fan noise. Fits great and very comfortable quality materials.
