OTTF!
As in onward through the fog!
Looking for a good home remedy here. How do you other 4 eyed hunters keep your glasses from fogging up?
A dirtbiking friend of mine used to use some stuff called "Cat Crap" on his goggles until he used it all up.
Ideas?

I'm not sure but I hope you find out. Mine invariably fog if I try to wear a face mask.

The night before I go out, I take a drop of liquid soap & apply to both sides of each lense. In the morning after it's dried, take a clean clot or tissue & polish the soap off until the lenses are clear (no water). Good to go. I've used this tukey & deer hunting while wearing a full face mask. Works great.

Used the soap film method for years. Works pretty well, but still doesn't completely solve the problem when circumstances are worst. Didn't seem to matter much whether it was from a product advertised for the purpose or just about any soapy substance that would leave a clear film on the lens when polished while tacky....shaving cream, bar soap, dish soap, etc.
I hunted with a headnet for many years and the problem is worse with them. Increasing the eyehole opening size helped, but again didn't completely eliminate fogging, just reduced it. some mornings I still had to adjust the net to leave my nose exposed. The nets with eyehole wires imbedded in the mesh seemed more effective in keeping my breath from coming back up and out around the glasses, helping a little more.
I could keep the vision clear pretty well when I could remember to exhale through my mouth and blowing downward, but the first thing I'd forget when deer came into view was ...well, you know.
Contacts were the only thing I could find that eliminated the fogging completely even on those cool and damp mornings when it was thickest.

I use an anti fog spray for glasses. Got it from my optometrist. Also I use glass lens, you can put them inside your shirt for a few minutes and they resits fogging better. The plastic seems more prone to fogging than glass.

Wearing glasses does suck. Especially in weather. First time I wore contacts I was amazed at just how well they were gonna help me in the outdoor situations. Ever tried to duck hunt in the rain with glasses, or just tried to run the boat in the rain with glasses? For sure a very real pain in the arse!! I used to buy a bottle of stuff called NO FOG,, but I cant find it anymore! It worked real good on the fogging up part,, ut the rain part is impossible. I hardly ever wear contacts, but my outdoor activities make me keep a pair of disposable contacts on hand at all times! They come in very handy outdoors!!
