| Glasses Fogging Up (Read 334 times) |
Just Do It |

| My new Oakleys fogged up constantly throughout my run today. One of the reasons I bought then was that were supposed to be very fog resistant. Anybody else have same experience? Any ideas? |

Spit on them and wash the spit off with water before the run -- an old scuba diving trick.

I have a pair that do that; they fit closer to the face and don't let in new, cooler air. I'll have to try the spit trick!

| There's also "Cat Crap." It's pretty effective; most ski and dive shops carry it. |

| I only have that issue when wearing my balaclava. My in-laws are on vacation, so I have to clean their cat's litter box tonight on the way home from work. I'll grab some cat crap and give that a try tonight. |

Try wiping with a week solution of washing up liquid and water - always worked with motorcyle visors.

I did the experiment and found the spit to be more effective (and cheaper).
But I did notice that I couldn't do this once the glasses got cold -- i.e., if I forgot before leaving the house. I found myself looking through a haze of frozen spit (yuck).

| Washing a bathroom mirror with shaving cream, stops it from fogging up. It would probably work on sunglasses, too. |
| 90 percent of the game is not giving up. |

| Don't rinse with water! Just put the foam on and rub it over. |

| Ditto on the spit. Works for swimmers. ( former swimmer ) |

| The ski shops sell anti-fog cloths and that has worked some for me... but lately nothing is working (sub 15 degrees) |
| Time to heal up...

I grew up snow skiing and we always used gel toothpaste on goggles - scrub it around and the rinse it off. Works like a charm but not as cheap as spit.
