- I thought they were a dumb gimmick, but a few years ago my wife bought me
- a pair as a gift, so I HAD to try them. Surprisingly, they work very
- well. I find that my glasses only fog up when skiing slow, standing around
- waiting for someone (like my wife...maybe that's why she got them for me...
- never mind), or on a lift. If I turn the fan on right away, the glasses
- clear up in a few seconds, and I rarely (if ever) have to stop skiing to turn
- them on. There is no need to leave them on for long, so the battery last
- a long time. But the noise is noticable to someone near by or on the
- same chair, and I've gotten some strange looks from people who didn't
- know what they were!
