I sweat a lot when I was out there learning during my first season. I had a cheap pair of Scott Goggles but they would fog up pretty bad and the fit wasn't very comfortable as they were big and bulky. Any suggestions?

All the brands make a pretty good goggle so finding a pair that fit you well is the most important thing to consider. If you produce a lot of body heat you will need a higher volumne goggle. For high volumne goggles I like Oakley Wisdoms and Smith Prodigies (what I use). Also, if you run really warm, look into OTG (Over the Glasses) models as they are the biggest.
Always be sure to go with a goggle with a double pane lens and the best tip for keeping them from fogging-up on you is to never take them off once you get on the hill. As far as lens color goes, I like anything with a red base as they offer the best contrast. Yellow lens are great for really dark days, Rose is best for flat light and greys/browns are good for bright light. As far as all the colored coatings go, those make the goggles much more expensive, scratch easier and look cool, that's about it.

Oakley Wisdoms Or A Frames. The Wisdoms are $120 and are really good. The A Frames are $60-95 and are extremely good for the price. I used to own a pair until my dog chewed the foam. They are super comfy and they sheild out a lot of light. And they look cool too.

you shouldn't go with a cheap pair....you should try and save up and go for a nice pair...when it comes to glasses and googles i go for oakleys...i have had mind for years and love them...they are light weight and comfortable...and are very stylish...i believe they are guarenteed too..but i have never had to enforce that because they can really take a beating...i use them in probably one of the harshest weather pattersn too in the white mtns. another good thing about oakleys is there are polarized to help filter out the sun better....

Anon. They are the best for the money. A good pair will only cost $80-$90.
