Fogged up cycling glasses

Chris Heys said:

Now that the days are getting colder, my cycling glasses (Bloc Stealths - excellent by the way)
are starting to fog over when I stop at lights. Once motion is resumed they clear up after 10secs
or so, but it's still a pain that they fog in the first place.

Does anyone else experience this? Any anti-fog agents I could try?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris

I was given "Fog Buster" by my optician(*) but haven't used it as it states "not effective on
anti-reflective coated lenses". So if yours are anit-reflec there might not be anything.

(*)who gave it to me while noting down a prescription for a new pair with, you guessed it,
anti-reflective coated lenses ;-)

I used to smear the inside of my motorcycle visor with diluted washing up liquid, it destroys the
surface tension of the water droplets that cause the misting.

Experiment with the bathroom mirror that mists up to convince yourself of the benefits.

Polish the inside with fairy liquid, spit or a potato

Yes I have experienced it. I just slide them down my nose for 10 seconds and look over the frame
until they have demisted.

I'd agree with this option, I find that any scratches, solvent or contaminants on the lens might be
OK during the day, but at night it's totally different, with street lamps and car lights playing
havoc with anything less than perfect lenses.

All the anti fog stuff I have tried affects the optical quality more than its worth, although I have
now got some motorcycle visor stuff which seems ok, someone decanted some into a bottle for me so I
cannot tell you what it is at the moment.

I find that a/r coatings are fog inhibiting anyway as long as you don't use a *cloth* to clean them,
(and instead rub the surfaces with lens cleaner and rinse off with cold water).

They certainly clear more quickly.

Or just pull them away from your face while you are stopped, as you see skiers do with their goggles
while they are waiting to start.

Yup. Wash lenses in dilute solution (no suds)- leave to dry then polish.

Works a treat. z

Cheers, I'll try the much recommended washing up liquid method. Failing that, the 'Skier Start'. :-)

Thankyou, Chris
