Growing old disgracefully

I regularly video my local rugby club's matches, for analysis and YouTube for supporter’s enjoyment.
I prefer to use a UV lens filter, but only to protect the lens itself from outside debris etc
Recording in the summer, I had no problems, but recording in cold, rainy conditions (with a coat over the camera) poses some fogging problems, using filters.
I do try to arrive early and acclimatise the equipment. I also carry silica pouches in the bag, but that doesn’t seem to help much.
Not using a filter at all eliminates the problem, but means my lens itself sometimes gets wet, despite using a large hood, plus I would rather be wiping rain off a £30 filter, than my rather expensive lens.
I suspect (as I am not able to use a tripod) the heat from my hands is making the camera body warmer than the air between the lens and the filter, thus compounding the problem.
I have invested in a shooting grip with remote controls, which I hope will help.
Are there any enthusiasts here who have had the same problem and overcome it.
