Default Anti-Fog Treatment Question

I picked up some Blaze anti fog treatment for my goggles and face shield at the NY IMS. So, last night I applied it to both and rode in today, 38*. It didn't really work that well IMO. It's better - but -

What does everyone else use to stop fogging in wet and cold weather?

When I ski I use Cat Crap. Not the feline stuff, but an anti fog that comes in a small container. It looks a lot like the real thing though. It works better than anything else I've found.

I don't use anything.

What I do is keep the faceshield up about halfway when going through town at really slow speeds. Anything from say 35 up to 50 mph I pull it down to the "cracked open" position. Over 55 I snap it shut and keep the chin vent open.

The trick is to keep air flowing as much as possible and keep your face cold. I also don't use one for anything over 40 deg.

Get a pin lock shield. Problem solved.

I was actually just about to make a post about this...I get the same thing with normal glasses. I even sprayed anti-fog crap for swim goggles on there and I still get it. It's scary as hell at night! Sometimes i'll sit at a stop light for a couple minutes and fog up completely. A left-turn yield is the worst, seriously can't see if there's a car coming or not. Someone find an answer!

I use stuff called Fog Off, pretty sure I picked it up at CycleGear last year. It works well for me on my face shield. It says it doesn't irritate eyes so it might be ok on glasses too.

I fell into the same sales pitch about the Blaze products a couple of years ago and discovered that it is as worthless as ***** on a duck. I went back to the dish soap trick of dabbing it on and wiping off without rinsing with water.

I found some drops at REI called FOGTECH for $16.00 a bottle. Only anti-fog stuff I founds that works. They say a couple of drops on the goggles will last 5 days, but I would say a day is more like it.

Thanks,

I wear any-fog low profile ski goggles in the winter months. No problems.
