Best Anti-fog for glasses???

Perhaps the solution is to just get contact lenses

Nights like last night are terrible with glasses. Not that it wasn't dark enough already, but the fog was so thick I could barely see 6' with the headlamp!

All the usual reference points available on even the darkest night were lost.

The fact that my lenses were fogging up every 5 min made it feel like I was living in a box. A box full of weed and mung

So has anyone happened upon an anti-fog product that really works? I've used Cat Crap (yes, that's what it's called) a bit, but I'm not sold.

Anyone?

I was gonna suggest the Kitty $hitty. That's all I've used, but then again, I use it for sunglasses and safety glasses, not "I'm blind without them" glasses. Maybe something made for auto glass?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

you could try a local sporting goods shop/hockey rink that sells hockey gear. ITECH and a couple of other companies make a solution to use on hockey halfshields. just apply and rinse off on outer half of lense. its works great.read the fine print it may work on glasses also.

They make anti-fog cloths for goggles used in skiing. One of the big companies makes it - forget who it was. White cloth in clear bag w/ black writing - may have been Smith.

I keep pieces of dry paper towel under my hat and just keep drying them. If its not the fog, its water/salt from getting hit by waves.
Glasses suck in the surf, sometime I've just taken them off and fished blind

2020 Yes, I believe it's "Smith" as well, fogproof glasses. I've seen them mainly on skiers...

Ditto on the contacts, especially for outdoor stuff near or on the water. Anti fog wipes work on fogging, but do nothing for mist, rain or spray.

Best regards,

I put RainX on my glasses (only the glass lenses though) and it seems to work great for me, tried it on the plastic lenses and it reacted to the polarity somehow making the lenses fuzzy.

RainX is great while speeding along and taking a wave in the face, the water just rolls off the lenses and no fog, doesn't do much for the rest of you to stay dry but at least you can see.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
