Why Your Swim Goggles Fog — And the Science Behind Permanent Clarity

The Truth About Foggy Goggles
Fogging is the number one complaint from swimmers across all skill levels — from casual lap swimmers to open-water triathletes. It's annoying, disorienting, and completely avoidable. So why does it still happen?
What Causes Goggles to Fog Up?
The fog inside your goggles comes from condensation. When warm, moist air from your face meets the cooler lens surface, water vapor condenses into droplets, clouding your vision. The more effort you put in — the hotter you get — the worse the fog becomes.
Even goggles advertised as anti-fog don’t always solve the problem. Here’s why.
The Problem With Traditional Anti-Fog Coatings
Most swim goggles use temporary anti-fog coatings — thin, sprayed-on films that wear off quickly. With just a few uses (or a single wipe), the coating degrades, and you’re back to blurry vision.
- You have to reapply drops or sprays.
- You’re told not to touch the inside of the lens.
- You accept the fog as inevitable.
At ÆRA, we don’t accept it. We solved it.
