So ive had a few different pair over the years. Just wondering what brand and color lens work best. Ive been told a few times to get a red/rose or blueish lens that it helps show the terrain better? Fogging up always seems to be an issue with me also. maybe because im so out of shape i sweat like a pig and pant like a dog.
What brand and color lens on your goggles?

Agreed. I use a yellow all the time. I wear 509 Aviators. The are not cheap but they seal the best against my face. As for fogging, I use a baklava with a breath box in addition to the one in my helmet. By doing this it seems to really help with the fog ups.

I've had my 100% Racecraft goggles for close to a year and they have yet to fog up. Trail or off-trail, -5 to 65 degrees, from no face mask to multiple different different face masks, never a problem.

X2. Also use amber lenses with flat light conditions.
my 509 are polarized dark tint I use them on sunny have some yellowish orange on the liquid image Use them the most when playing more for the cam than seal around face or definition .
always have a clear set in the goggle holder under the hood.
best part of old school
m is the steering post and 2nd is the goggle holder .so nice to have a warm fresh set with at all times.
I think of all I have owned over the yrs the 509 polarized have the best definition.

baklava →
and balaclava (hopefully what you meant) →
I have never worn a sweet, flaky pastry on my face to stop my goggles from fogging, but then again, I have never snowmobiled in Texas? hehehehe! Anyway, I use Scott amber lenses and a No-fog under my HJC open face. Amber lenses seem to work well in all conditions but I also carry a clear set for nighttime riding just in case there is low visibility?

I switched to 509 goggles and lenses this year and was very impressed with their performance. So impressed I went and bought another pair for night riding. I have the whiteout lens which is polarized, kind of like the black ops what Indy has (didn't want to be darth vader). I highly recommend a polarized lens for sunny days and high definition clarity of terrain. I had Smith and Thor goggles before 509.
For a no fog experience, you want to look for a lens that has dual panes with an air space in between the two lenses like the 509 lens has. I have yet to experience the 509's fog up on me and I have ridden in some pretty rediculous temps this year at -20.
