Fog-free goggle recommendations?

Anyone have any recommendations for good, fog-free goggles? I need a new pair. I currently have a pair of Uvex Saphirs (these are the ones I'm looking to replace), as well as my don't-I-look-ridiculous-I'm-an-easy target-to-make-fun-of "unibomber" goggles, which I only wear when it's sunny, not too cold, and in that kind of a mood:

My Utopia goggles never fog on me. I've tried all kinds of brands, but they are absolutely the best at not fogging, even when I have a neck warmer wrapped over my nose and my hood on over my helmet. Plus they come in pink (see my avatar pic). (as well as other colors if you're not into that).

I've done well with Smith Anthem goggles, which are great for smaller faces. No fogging problems to speak of. I have 2 pair, one with reflector lenses for bluebird days and another for flat light days. They have different colors around the edges (one is white and the other is silver) so I can easily tell the difference between them.

I use Zeal goggles, and they've never ever fogged. I cracked some lenses in an interesting double-ejection-fall-on-my-face last season, and they haven't fogged yet either, even cracked. They come in sizes for small-to-medium faces, as well, and in my experience, have been cheaper than some other brands.

Thought I'd bump this up, since I haven't gotten around yet to getting the goggles I need (and I'd love to snag a pair on Steepandcheap.com, if something good comes around!).

Any other suggestions?

I had a pair of Oakley A-Frames that I loved, they never ever fogged (and it does get quite damp down here), then my sisters dog chewed the foam off the inside, so I had to get a new pair. I bought two pairs of Alpina goggles on a professional recommendation and they both fogged in France. So I am about to get another pair of A-Frames.

They fit very well with helmets (Giro) and they don't look bad, big enough to give very good field of vision, but not too large for the female face.

I wear A frames as well. Oakleys just seem to work, never had them fog. Really easy to change the lens as well and they make the best flat light lens I've found.

Anyone got any recommendations for good OTG (over the glasses) goggles that are fog free, but also good in the fog? I had a pair from Bolle but I smashed into a tree and one of the things needing replacement is my goggles due to bark gouge. Mine were ancient anyway and had tape and CHRISTMAS RIBBON on them. (The ribbon was gold net woven through the ventilation area as the foam had begun to disintegrate. It worked pretty well!)

I've been internet researching for new goggles too. Old one's were giving me a twitch in my eye/cheek that took days to go away. Glad to hear the Oakleys work well since I really like that Co.'s sunglasses. Work well for noses that have been broken multiple times. I thought I'd try the girlie stockholms, but local store hasn't got them in yet.
They have an over the glasses model I think is called the L-frame. You might want to try those. Oakley has a nice website. Tons of frame colors & lense color combos to choose from. Pricey. but may well be worth it.

shellski - persimmon is the best for all around. I also have high intensity blue for flat light days. Luckly for me I wear contacts, so the OTG deal is no more. I've a friend who had a little fan apparatus, by Scott, that fitted on his goggles and kept the lenses clear. He got it ages ago in Utah.

I wear contacts as well, but since I use flat light goggles 95% of the time, it's only in the spring I suddenly need darker goggles. In order to save money, I can just use my sunglasses underneath the goggle. And if the day suddenly turns, I don't have to go get a new pair of goggles out of the locker.

I have to wear glasses all the time (Sigh) and have tried lots of over the glasses goggles.

I use Scott Storms alot of the time. Since I live in Montana, I use the light Ampliefier lens and am happy with it most of the time. I also have a clear for night skiing and a regular Amplifier for bright days.

In addition, I have a pair of Smith Turbo Goggles. I have a love/hate relationship with these. They have a fan, so there is never a time when I have fogging problems. But, they are bigger than I would like them to be. So, I always use them on powder or days with higher humidity. I use the Blue Mirro lens which is great in flat light. Ialso have a pair of the regular Smith lens for brighter days. I know, I know, I have too many goggles, but I did ski 135 days last winter and it is hard to see sometimes in Montana!!!

The Smith goggles are wonderful, but big and expensive. The Scott goggles are adequate for most conditions and are affordable.

My husband uses these goggles. He won't go without them. Dirtbiking, skiing, you name it. I am convinced they saved his life more than once.
