    OTG ski goggles for commuting in the cold?

    A few people here have recommended ski goggles to wear in conjunction with a balaclava. I actually do have a pair, but they have become quite scratched and are difficult to see through. I'm looking for a new pair, but there are some questions and considerations.

    1) I wear glasses, so whatever kind of goggles I get, they need to be capable of fitting over them.

    2) What colour of lens would you recommend for commuting, or should I just stick with clear? I know that grey is not a good colour - I find it depressing. My commute is in darkness in the mornings, but it can be pretty bright and sunny by the time I'm coming home.

    3) Are double lens goggles worth the extra coin, as far as antifogging is concerned?

    4) I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on goggles, as they may get damaged stored in my backpack while at work.

    What do you folks recommend?

    These will keep you frost free to -36 C.

    They come with a bag to prevent scratching.

    Double lens are absolute requirement....

    Also a nose guard is the last thing that prevents fogging (and frostbite).

    Yellow or clear lenses.
