One way to fog up your ski goggles quickly during a ski tour or ridge hike—leave them on your face as you slog uphill. The alternatives, like stowing the goggle on your head, or stashing it in a pocket, come with more fogging, freezing, and futzing. The Julbo Aerospace is the first goggle to tackle this annoying problem for backcountry skiers. Billing itself as the first “uphill & downhill” goggle, the Aerospace lets you push the front of the lens out during uphill hikes to allow air to circulate freely inside the housing. When you’re ready to ski, the goggle presses back into place. Brilliant!
