Scuba divers spit on their face masks to help with steaming up.

I take mine off in heavy rain, I have to weigh up whether it's more dangerous to leave them on or not.

I've got northwave specs and it said on the packet that they have a special coating so the water beads and runs off. Have to say, i haven't really noticed i can't see so must be working! They are better than my old Oakleys and a third of the price.

Carry a couple of scrunched up paper kitchen towels in your back pocket and wipe your glasses on the move when it's safe to do so.

Take the lenses out and put in your pocket when it rains to keep dry

Well i rode to work tonight with my glasses freshly applied with "show room shine" and it was bone dry and nothing at all on my glasses. However having been bouncing down all night i am sure to give them the proper test on my way home in the morning.

I normaly use treatments that are for motorbike helmets visors, one for water repellent and one anti fog,

Though might try showroom shine seem as it seems to be working

It's just the way it is I'm afraid. We all have the same problem. Just a good clean before heading out and a regular wipe with a glove pad is all one can do really.

+1 for this and when it is really bad, a clean tissue from a rear pocket helps as well, but mostly you get used to it.

Close eyes and take a guide dog along

Dont ride in the rain

drill holes in lenses for ventilation

apply deep heat to lenses

pay the kosovan at the lights with bucket and squeegee

WEAR A CAP!!! How has no one suggested this yet?
It doesn't keep everything off but seriously limits the amount of water that gets on your lenses.

I don't find it helps much

I have a rain peak on my hat, seems to help sometimes, but when it's really teaming down its useless.
