Glasses Fogging Up (Read 340 times)

NY wolve Just Do It	posted: 2/11/2008 at 5:19 AM
	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!
	Be yourself. Those that matter, don't mind. Those that mind, don't matter.

	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. Regards Nev

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)

	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. Kevin
