Does anyone know of a good safety goggle that will not break the bank and will not fog up?

Of course you should always use eye protection. When I shoot, I like to wear hats and use earmuffs. There are problems with this. The junction over your ear can get a little crowded with the ear piece for the glasses, the hat band and the ear muffs. Also, sometimes the cheek weld can be a bit awkward because the earmuffs can hit the stock, bump the glasses and mess with the hat a bit. Yeah, I can work around it and get a comfortable fit, but if I can take one variable out then that helps.
I bought a pair of Wiley X goggles (I cannot remember which model). I liked them, but there was some things I did not like. They fog up real easy in the summer. Also, I had to keep the elastic band loose, otherwise it would hurt the bony area between my eyes around the bridge of my nose. I really like that they came with clear, tinted and yellow lenses, and could be swapped out. I also like that the goggle does not extend much past eyelash distance in front of my face. Since I do not wear glasses most of the time, it is a bit more natural to barely see the frames as much since they are closer to the cheek/eyebrow area and not sticking out. They look a bit goofy, but I am over 40 and do not care so much.
Have any of you tried goggles? Did you find something you like? I am not really interested in the ski looking military wide and big goggles. I am looking for more of a safety glasses, but set deep kind of thing. Thanks!
