Would these work as blowing snow protection? And would they fog up if worn with a balaclava?

They would probably help with snow flying around. The fog protection is primarily from a series of vent holes along the inside of the top border, so you should keep a small strip next to your eyebrows exposed to minimize fogging.Also, there's a clear version of these, if you want to be able to see in dim conditions; the dark coloring does have an impact on sight. Works fine for bright or moderately lit areas, but dim areas can be a problem.

This monogoggle seals the air out and is perfect for anything blowing around your face. I used mine in New Orleans to cut my grass and even though I was sweating they NEVER fogged up on me..Nuff said.

Yes I keeps your ears warm it's great, but there is a problem of fogging up your glass. I do wear glasses and it happens a lot when your outside in the cold. I have been thinking of making two holes at the noses allow my breath to escape.

I've used them for deer season the past week here in PA and they are pretty darn good in my opinion. I had no problem with them fogging up in the rain or snow too.

No. I used them on a roof. Wind is high. They still fogged more than I like. Other than that they are ok

I use for winter wear and wear glasses. As long as the glasses rest on your nose there is no fogging. Once my glasses slide over the fabric, the bottoms of the glasses fog. That said I can cover the top of the glasses with the fabric and keep the bottom part close to the bridge of the frames and there is no fogging. I have problems breathing in most ski masks, but this product is easy to breathe in and I've used in 20-degree weather and it kept my face and neck warm.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

If it on your face correctly it won't fog up but I am not sure if it could be used for sports.

I would like to amend my previous response: I don't know the UV rating on these. I can't accurately say they would prevent snow blindness. The red increases your perception of contrast in a snow covered area.

Well I'd imagine as well as any goggles. They really don't fog up so you probably won't have frost on the inside if that's what ur worried about. Beyond that they're just comfortable lab goggles also good for yard work and these particular ones fit over glasses well.

Hi Jason, My specs fog up too. I've done all my mototcycling in Europe and America wearing glasses and it's the one and only thing that bugs me about the thing I do most for fun (in public) All previous balaclavas, when worn covering my nose have simply exacerbated the problem and no amount of anti-fog treatment of my lenses or visor would help very much. The CTR Chinook has a panel in the nose/mouth area that helps enorrmously and whilst it's not perfect it does make a huge difference. When moving your misting problem will likely be minimal but at stops you'd normally be frantically lifting the visor or poking around with a gloved finger in an effort to create a small clear window. With the chinook I've found that pursing my lips at stops, so that they actually come into contact with the mesh panel, whilst lifting the visor results in almost zero spectacles misting. Like I said. It's by no means perfeect but on cold rides I often find myself wishing I'd found and purchased something similar years ago. Frankly it's a mystery why motorcycle clothing manufacturers don't pay more attention to the snow mobile sector. Hope this helps.

Yes! I wear glasses and I have yet to find them fogged up, but spend most of my time in a temperature-regulated environment. Just keep in mind if you have larger frames they might impact the way the seal fits.

If you are skiing in a dry climate, i.e. "powder" conditions in the rockies or the sierra's, they might work; however I wouldn't trust them in east coast conditions as they fog up VERY quickly..

Depends on what kind of glasses you are wearing, but as a general rule yes, they do fog easily (especially in cold weather). Just get a cheap bottle of Anti-Fog and wipe your glasses with it. That should solve your problem just fine.

No they do not, I use them with a half helmet and yes they do fog however the wind from riding will casue them to defog.

They are light weight but do block some wind. With a pair of good long underwear under them, they should be fine. I used them in Peru at 15,500 ft and 32 degrees and they were good alone as long as I was hiking.

I was able to wear my sunglasses comfortably under the goggles, don't do that by the way you won't see much haha. But you could absolutely wear your glasses under these. I also have to say that this mask does a great job staying clear, if your mask fogs up its next to impossible to do anything productive out there. Hope this helps!

well that's not what I got them for but if they are anti fog then yeas they would be for day time use. I havnt fully tested them yet but plan to.
