Nicky blue eyes Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Going through my kit bag I found my old ess goggles. The anti fog coating on the inside has come off( my bad. I cleaned them with a cheapo anti fog wipe and it killed them.) New clear lenses are becoming a bit scarce (read expensive). But is there any where that re coats them? Can you re coat them? Tried looking on line and it just came up with a load of products like cat crap and rain ex etc. Or am I doomed to use them with the yellow lenses?

Could you not just use an anti-fog treatment on the lenses that its come off of rather than looking at the possibly expensive option?
Nicky blue eyes Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 Thats the way forward I think. Well that will teach me to not read the instructions. Lol cheers anyway
Supporters Lozart Posted June 5, 2019 Supporters Posted June 5, 2019 Recoating isn't really an option I'm afraid. You could just buy replacement lenses that would come coated or as @clumpyedge suggested just use decent anti fog wipes/solution.
Nicky blue eyes Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 The clear lenses seem to be out of stock in a lot of places so the anti fog wipes it is. I was hopeing there was a simple solution like pop into spec savers and try battering my eyelids at the staff. Actually I'd probably get banned from there if I did that. Also I'm a bit pissed off with my self that I buggered the coating by useing an alcohol based anti fog wipe. I suppose thats what you get for a quid though.

I cant recommend visorclear by nik wax enough, you get fog to start with (maybe the first 5 mins or so) but once put on I personally dont have to reapply again all day (unless its really hot and im sweating like a beast) the other thing I use is the Revision wipes but I keep them in a pocket for out in the field.
Nicky blue eyes Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Funny enough I got revision wipes so I don't ruin my other goggles. I shall have a look for visor clear. Cheers for the recommendation.

Moderators djben9 Posted June 6, 2019 Moderators Posted June 6, 2019 also try Fogtech wipes.... i know what you mean, i accidentally wiped my V12 clear lens with some lens cleaner and it messed the coating up, all blotchy now....new set of goggles off ebay, use the clear in one set and the other goggles when cycling to work with yellow!
Nicky blue eyes Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Looks like Amazon are going to be my new best friends soon. Lol cheers for the advice. I will let you know how I get on ?
