(Not being a skier, I might never have thought of it.)
I'm curious, do they have two layers of glass, like a double-paned window? If so that would explain a great deal to me.
The lenses are plastic, but there are two of them. There are vents in the top and bottom, and the lenses have an anti-fog coating. The model I have is apparently discontinued, but here's a page with details:

One thing to keep in mind is that if you ride at night make certain to get lenses that won't filter out light.
The goggles also protect eyes from sleet, which can be quite harsh. They also keep my eyes warm enough to keep my tears from freezing, which seems to start to happen when temperatures are in the single digits (F) or lower. They are a must-have for winter commuting IMO, for my area at least.
