I have a great pair of Uvex Super Anti-fog goggles, and haven't had any problems with them so far. But my delimma has to do with my eye glasses underneath them and wonder if anyone has any tips for me.It seems that when I ride and have my glasses on underneath, my glasses fog up during temps between -10 and 32 degrees. It primarily happens if/when I get hit in the face with snow, either from other riders, heavy snowfall, snow making machines, or wiping out. There is a cloth vent on the top of my goggles. But my glasses then fog over and I can't see. Since I am practically legally blind in my left eye, I dislike riding without my eyeglasses. A friend gave me her extra tub of Cat Crap, which is supposed to be an anti fog substance that you rub into goggles/glasses. That seems to work decently unless I get snow on the top of my goggles, then after that t
This is a tough one you mentioned all the things i was gonna say from catcrap to contacts lol. Contacts are the ultimate thing if u hav bad vision (like me…) besides lasek lol. There really isnt much that u can do as far as i no.The only thing i can really think of is to reaply the catcrap throughout the day. That might help the fogging issue.
i dont know if they work on script glasses or not, but back in the 60s and 70's they used to make these cloths that eliminate fogging. i havent seen one in years though (my buddies came in his 70's impala from the dealer) but god they work. you just run it over your windshield on the inside and it will not fog up for weeks. but the odd thing is, it doesnt have oil in it or anything. it looks and feels like a paper towel. i wonder if anyone makes anything like this for glasses. when i used to wear mine they'd fog over like a bastard all the time. i guess im just a naturally hot person ;)(sorry for the cheesy joke, im not hot btw)
That sounds awesome i havent heard of it tho at all. Maybe you could google it.Also, once you get outsiide dont open up your goggles keep em closed. I found that they fog up with the quickness when you take the goggles off outside
i remember your delima with your goggles josh and now that im thinking about it, thatcloth might not be a good idea. since you have to use it on the inner lens. i have an oldpair lying around, if i can find one of these fog cloths ill give it a try. i dont think it'll hurtthem, but you never know, and my spy's have had it. they're officially done as of today.
I wear my glasses under my Smith OTG (over the glasses) goggles often and I know what you mean about fogging becoming a problem. Here are some tips for you that are really successful for me in preventing the glasses underneath from fogging.1) Buy goggles that are OTG, specially designed to fit over glasses. http://www.frostyrider.com/shops/frostys_shop.htm?gear=otg+goggles2) In the morning before going out, wash your glasses and hands with soap and water TWICE, then dry them with a clean soft cloth.3) Apply Cat Crap (or other anti-fog product) to your glasses. If you do not have a product handy, apply bar soap to inside and outside of the glasses with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Let dry to haze, then buff clean clean clean with the clean soft dry cloth (kinda like waxing a car). (Never do this to your goggles, only the glasses. Goggles should be new conditioSweet, thanks Frosty. Of course, this year I am finally getting contacts, so hopefully I won't have to worry too much about the glasses, but I will remember your advice when I am stuck with them.
