Anti Fog Goggles in Mountain Biking

Designed for the ski and snowboard world, could these battery powered anti-fog goggles be just as useful for mountain biking in cold conditions?

Although misting goggles isn’t a huge problem for most of us most of the time there are occasions when the conditions do make goggles fog up. When you’re trying to navigate through tight twisty trails or over steep techy rock then vision is not something you want impaired. Could these battery powered skiing goggles be a potential solution and crossover into Mountain Biking?

Dubbed the F.Bom, the new goggles have tiny heating elements installed into the lens that warm it just enough to equalise the two opposing air temperatures, resulting in hours of fog free shredding.

It works pretty much like the heated rear window on a car. The difference is that the heating elements are so tiny you cant see them, so your vision isn’t distorted or impeded at all.

If you want to get your hands on them, you will face a little wait. Abominable want to get them out for October 2015, but that’s dependent on them raising the £30,000 they claim to need on KickStarter.

They’ve raised around about £6,000 to date, so if you’ve got a a few hundred quid burning a hole in your wallet, you could bag yourself a pair early.
