Steaming goggles

I recently bought a pair of Aqua Sphere Eagle goggles, after being told they were one of the best buys.
They were until this morning. I started warming up, and the buggers fogged over. I thought ahh maybe I need a wee bit spit. Even after carrying this out countless times they still continue to fog.
Now I do not want them fogging especially when open water swimming.
Does anybody know why this would happen? If so are they faulty, not tight enough, rubbish, or is there a way to stop the fogging. Even though the manufactures say they have the best defogging lenses. Which mean they shouldn't

I used to go through 3 pairs a year until I kept them in the case and now they tend to last a lot longer. But if you only had them for a short time id think about getting them swapped as it may be just a faulty pair.
I have been having this problem for a while with the same goggles, and put it down to the temp of the pool and it's surroundings, I have tried spit, solutions etc none of which has worked in the pool.
Have yet to try in open water ( which I will do next Tuesday evening at training session).
I did however use my seals last night in open water and they didn't fog!!
Cheers
Never had this problem with my speedo's
To be honest I've never found an anti fog product that works...

I had exactly the same problem with the eagles 2 weeks ago in open water...nightmare!
I bought some anti-fog soultion, and read somewhere that the fogging is caused by a warm face and cold water. I was told to use a couple of drops of anti-fog, rinse them in the water and then wet my water with the water to bring the temperature down
I tried this tonight and I didnt have one bit of fogging, compared to constant fogging 2 weeks ago. I know its only once but seemed to work a treat
Hope it helps
Cheers
