Anti-Fog spray helps. But if you're riding "thru" the fog, they probably are just collecting water from the mist, not actually fogging up. Rain-X will make the water bead up and fly off. Usually in your eyes though.

A quick wipe with the finger or sleeve every minute or two.

Try a very small drop of Dawn dishwashing detergent. Just enough to almost cover the lens when you smear it on.

I use my fingers to wipe the lens. Nothing else has ever worked well and fingers for glass wipers still sucks.

I rode through my first fog 3 weeks ago on the return leg of an overnighter to San Simeon. It was in some nice mountain twisties. My glasses didn't fog up, but I sure touched the brake every now and then to let the cars behind know I was there. Fog is bad news.
