Glasses

[martint235]

It's that time of year again. The temperature is dropping a little in the mornings so everytime I pull up at a set of lights my PowerRace glasses completely fog up and take a good 50 - 100 yards of movement to clear fully. I've tried fake Oakley, Oakley, PowerRace, Briko, Madison etc and have yet to find a pair that don't fog up. It's now getting so bad I'm considering wearing one of my helmets to see if the change in airflow would help.

Anyone recommend glasses that don't fog up? I don't hang about on my commute so I understand why the glasses fog up just not how to stop them.

I Can`t say I have a problem with Oakley's steaming/fog up
Though I do wash/rinse the glasses after every trip ..

My Rudy Projects never fog, unlike my Oakleys.

I bought some cheapo windscreen anti fog stuff from halfrauds, which I use on my commuting glasses. Works well.

You can also use washing up liquid or a cream from e bay called Cat crap, I kid you not.

Endura spectral anti fog glasses. I have the yellow for damp dark winter riding. Works well for me but I do wear a helmet.

Push them onto your head when you stop? Easy without a helmet

Easy with a helmet too.

I use 3M fuel safety glasses they have vents down the side and at the top of the nose they never have fogged up on me yet....These are the same as mine, they do other colours of frame / lenses and they have a high impact rating, you can pick them up for about £15.........
(A wee bit cheaper than my Oakleys that the lens keeps popping out of...)

And as I found out on PBP this year on a night with my clear lenses for night riding, checkpoints I would lift them onto the top of my head, but when you set off again your vision is impaired caused by the grease from your sweaty head and hair getting on the inside of the lenses making light sources create a star effect to the point you could not see. The same effect would happen during the day, but not so bad, just greasy marks on the lenses to look through

Light smear of fairy liquid, always used it on my bike helmet visors.

Yes, a light smear of washing up/shampoo, etc liquid on the lens does a reasonable job of anti-misting, I've used the same technique on my snorkelling masks for years.

Always used a bit of spit for that
