GOGGLES AND GLASSES

 

Keeping your goggles and glasses clean and dry is a challenge when you’re out on the trails and it’s especially true on those rainy slop days! To avoid fogging and extend the life of your eyewear, proper care is key.

​

OUTSIDE LENS CLEANING

The first rule of thumb is to try to avoid rubbing the inside and outside of the lens while it’s wet or dirty. Doing so can damage the anti-fog coating on the lens and make the problem worse. Naturally, at times this is unavoidable. When necessary, first remove the excess by dabbing with a microfibre cloth and let them air dry.

​

INSIDE LENS CLEANING

Only clean the inside of your goggles and glasses when they are dry. Wipe the lens with the recycled microfibre bag provided to remove any fingerprints and dust. Keep in mind, the less you touch the inside of your goggle and glasses, the longer you’ll keep them in amazing condition. Our eyewear have an anti-fog coating on the inside of the lens. When wet, the coating tends to soften, making the lens more vulnerable to scratches. Hence the importance of avoiding rubbing wet lenses.

​

STORAGE

Hanging your goggles on the rear view mirror will add to your bike-bum swag, but it may also cause them to age prematurely due to heat and a lack of air circulation. Ideally, store your eyewear at room temperature, in a dry place and out of direct sunlight.

Coast Optics eyewear comes with a recycled microfibre bag. You can use it to store your goggles and glasses, as well as clean the lens. Putting your eyewear back in their storage bag will considerably reduce the risk of scratches and extend the life of your goggles.

​

Whether it’s dusty or muddy, moisture will accumulate in the foam of your goggles, so it’s important to let them air dry before storing them in their bag. Don’t dry them in a dryer or against a heater as this can cause premature damage
