I have had these goggle from ESS for almost 4 years. I run a lot during the games so I sweat and my first mask fogged a lot. These have been great for all this time but now I find moisture coming down/fog starting from the top and working it's way down until I can't see. (the fan is working, new battery) '
*** sorry talking about sweat is not that appealing but we all do it...hahaha**
I noticed that the black foam around the inside has flattened out and I believe that the sweat is coming down and getting inside....

The question is..has anyone else every have this issue....
..... can the foam be replaced? (ESS hasn't responded to me yet)
.... can I go to local shop, like a ski shop and get a replacement set? It looks like it just stick on

Any help please.... they were expensive so I would like to fix the problem.

thank you

If you have the ESS Turbofans or any of the Profile NVGs, I do not believe you can replace the foam. At least not through ESS, though it is possible they might offer to replace them. They do have excellent CS. To be honest, if the foam is making direct contact with your face, the sweat should not leak into the goggle. It should instead be soaked up by the foam. If you do want to replace them anyway, I guess you could try a ski shop.

Your fan might not be turning on. I have the Turbofans as well, and the goggles would start to fog when the fan turned off. The fan drone would eventually disappear and I wouldn't notice it. You just need to turn it on and make sure it stays on the highest setting. Also, some heavy duty anti-fog gel will go a long way. I sweat profusely as well, and I used the McNett Op Drops to supplement the fan initially. However, I found that only dedicated scuba-diving goggle anti-fog gel would keep my goggles clear. The issue with the scuba-diving gel is that it can irritate your eyes, but since the goggles are far enough away from your eyes, you should be fine. Just don't use that stuff on glasses.
