Hi Mark--this was mentioned at the bike winter kick-off meeting:

Haven't tried it. I wear safety glasses because I'm prone to breaking/losing eyewear.

The Kroops showed promise, especially for the price, but I also was unable to solve the fogging problem.

The most reason for the fogging is your breath causing condensation. Any chance you're wearing a mask underneath the goggle's sealant foam? If that's the case, keeping mask and goggles separated will help a lot in preventing the fogging. That's in my experience, of course.

And that may be the problem, the Kroops have no foam. That is why I was wondering if an upgraded pair might be in order. Not sure the Cat Crap would work on these as they are plastic....

You need ski/snowboard goggles

Cat Crap works fine on plastic lenses, both goggles and sunglasses, in my skiing experience.  I think it's basically soft candle wax paraffin.  You dab it on, then buff clear.  Make sure you apply it to the interior of the goggle where the moisture collects, not the exterior.  The waxy surface repels water so that it doesn't create a thin film of foggy dew inside the goggle.

You can go by the scuba store of Lincoln and buy the stuff that keeps scuba mask from fogging up. I forget what they call it.

Any self-respecting scuba diver simply spits in the mask and rinses with water.

And that's at 90' below the surface.
