So I wear glasses and when working outside they will fog up some times. So when it痴 really cold, about 0 degrees here now, I wear a hat/face mask setup. I have to leave it off my mouth and nose or my glasses fog up. I can technically drive without my glasses but like to leave them on. The issue isn稚 in a vehicle but when running my open station tractor. So would a decent set of ski goggles let me leave my glasses on, cover up all my face, and not fog up?

Sorry, i don't have a specific pair to recommend, but they are out there. Many years ago, i had ski goggles that were double paned with vents. They were sold as being able to wear glasses with them and i could wear sunglasses with ease.

I’m not after a recommendation on brand although it wouldn’t hurt. More after opinions on if my glasses will still fog up.

My sun glasses did not fog up. I wore this setup in the winter time, riding motorcycle in winter in sub freezing weather, and i recall going in doors, without a fog up. I believe the venting around the goggles help with that.

When I'm skiing with goggles on, my glasses do not fog up. Haven't tried them while blowing snow, yet... They're pretty cheap, on Amazon. I just bought a new one, for "flat light" conditions. Be sure to look for the "over the glasses" option, and some are still to small. My new ones, barely fit over my 5 1/2 inch wide specs.

have glasses too - i used to use a snowmobile helmet on my tractor; worked great. Kept my head warm and muffled the sounds too.



Then i switched to a skidsteer with a heated cab...,

Generally speaking, my ski goggles do not fog up while I'm plowing. I do not wear glasses beneath them though. Most newer goggles have proper venting to allow air to flow through them. They will not cover your face and sometimes a cheap balaclava is needed if it's really cold out. I just went and tested all of my goggles (various brands of Oakley) and none of them really fit my glasses beneath them. My glasses are not large by any means either. I always wear contacts beneath them to ski race else I can't see a gate until it's too late. With that said, I'd make sure you find a pair that specifically states "over the glasses". I know this is not 100% helpful but maybe some tidbits can help you in your testing journey.

I had a great pair of ski goggles, bought at REI (garage sale - returns). It had a mini-fan at the top, ran on batteries... Never fogged. They were return since the fan did not work, I looked at the fan and some foam hit one of the blades (stopping it...) While in the store, I press the foam back in place and the fan ran fine!!! Lost them several years later but loved that pair.

Like this pair... https://www.amazon.com/Version-Airsoft-Regulator-Goggles-Snowboard/dp/B00YXEM44E
