As a prescription eyeglass-wearer I have the added problem of eyeglass as well as goggle fogging.

Furthermore I think even the anti-fogging agents can also be overcome by heavy, moist exhalations,
Got it, thanks. I read your discussion before replying, but I missed the part about closed goggles not being closed enough. Most of my winter rides will be on trails so little speed and lots of panting.
Under those circumstances, mesh goggles wouldn't keep my glasses from getting moisture, so I'm thinking trying to get goggles that do seal on the bottom and have big vents on top. That way the hot moist breath will rise past and not come in from under. And I cannot imagine electric fans working for long enough in 10 deg F weather.
