How do you take care of goggles? - Snowboarding Forum

I got a new pair of goggles! But how do you take care of them? (So far I know you have to use a soft eyeglass cloth)

Is there a problem with them? I don't do anything. I just put them back in their case when I am done using them. Just remember not to wipe the inside of them or you will remove the anti-fog coating. Or so I've heard since I've never actually done that.

Wipe the outside whenever it needs it, be gentle. NEVER touch the inside.. ever.

Not sure if it does anything or helps but I take mine off my helmet so they won't be stretched out.

I just have some un noticable fingerprints. So I guess just wipe them(not on the insides?) and be uber carefull? Their scotts if it matters. They cost more then my coat!...

Also my dad says that the foam might be able to be washed once and awhile. What if your face sweats?

just toss 'em back in the bag, and don't crush them when you're not using them

Always make sure they are dry before you put them back into their case or bag.

1.Wear
2.Wipe inside and out (Airblaster goggles don't have coating).
3.Put in case.
