eye protection that doesnt fog up

[tweek]

Any suggestions?

I have a cheap ass pair of shooting glasses that fog up about 3 seconds after I put them on. Even my sun glasses that I wear inside my helmet occasionally are fogging up when I'm at the range. Once the rifle has warmed up it seems that I can't keep my glasses fog free.

Any hints? I've sprayed them in antifog stuff. Tried rain-x, spit. I thought about dragging them around the cat box because somebody said something about cat grunt, but I'm not quite there yet.

Right now I'm shooting without any eye protection, which probably might be sorta alright but eventually I'll probably really wish I had some. Sorta like my arm is enjoying the feel of hot shell casings:

Prefer not to find out what catching something that hot in the eye feels like.

umm Oww. Be kind cool if it scars that way tho. Sorry, but if the anti fog coating doesnt work, I dunno. That stuff works great on my scuba mask.

I know this sounds gross but try somebody else s spit

Perhaps I'm a tad uptight, but asking somebody to spit on it just sounds a bit too Broke Back Mountain for me.

Spit usually works for me. Rub a good layer of it on both sides of the lens and then rinse off under water, but not running water, then let it air dry. If you're rubbing it dry, that could be part of the problem.

or go to auto zone and use the anti fog that you would use on the windshield but trust me sometimes the brass
comes up and over the glasses got the burn to prove it

ITs not the glasses fault they are fogging up-
Might think about cleaning them real well and trying them without wearing the helmet and breath through your nose-

why are you wearing a helmet????

 

[tweek]

Perhaps I wasnt clear: When I'm ridding a motorcycle I wear a full face helmet. When I'm at the range I wear a baseball cap at most.

I just want to be able to wear eye protection at the range. Preferably, the eye protection would fog up. I don't think I'm asking too much.

I wear these both when riding and shooting...

ESS ICE Naro

They're inexpensive, comfortable, light, adjustable, fully compliant with the US military specification MIL-PRF-31013 and ANSI Z87.1+ standards, come in several colors (smoked, clear, hi-def yellow and hi-def copper, which I really like), and most of all, they rarely fog up on me!

The nice thing is that ESS stands behind their products. I had a lense that cracked, so I contacted them and not only did they send me a replacement, they sent a few "extra" items as well!

Cheers! M2

Careful what chemicals you put on the glasses then next to your eyes.....I know rainx has nasty fumes for a few min after application.

 

[tweek]

good point. plus depending upon what you ate the whole spit thing can really backfire.

A divers' trick, clean your lenses with baby shampoo and then a gentle rinse. Learned that on the last time I went to Hawaii.

Never tried it but you can. Spray your face with deodorant and maybe that wil help.

I use Oakley and ESS gogles and they work great. If the glasses doesn't cut it for you try this ESS Goggles - Protective Goggles - Ballistic Goggles - Eye Protection. This will stop any fogging due to the fan system. They are very low profile and work's great rain or shine.

ESS those are some nice looking shades and reasonable at $85 for 2 pair plus spare lens setup

I cannot breath through my nose due to allergies and chronic sinusitis. Then again, I don't wear a helmet.
