These days anything by most recognized goggles manufacturers (e.g. Anon, Smith, Spy, Oakley, VZ, etc.) won't fog unless you're wearing something that impedes your breath. I base my goggles choices on fit, available lens tints, and breadth of vision. That being said, by frequenting other snowboard sites I've read that there are higher occurances of fogging in Dragon's and Electric's. How true that actually is, I don't know.

I think the problem doesn't lie with the goggles but with the clava. You said it yourself that your breath channelled into the goggles by your facemask is what causes the fogging. So either pull the clava down under your nose so you can breath through your nose, or poke a bunch of small holes (when I say small, I mean smaaaaaalllll) in your balaclava where your mouth is.

Or buy a more breathable balaclava. I've heard great things about the Under Armour Cold Gear Hood. I want to pick one up for next season.

Oh and if you end up buying new goggles anyway, try goggles on before you buy. Make sure there are no gaps between the foam and your face. The most common place for a gap is in the nose bridge area.

I regularly wear either my Von Zipper Feenoms or Spy Soldiers. I have some old Scott goggles that I have as backup. None fog on me unless I wear my balaclava over my nose and mouth (usually I just have it just cover my mouth).
