Glasses wearers

Post by Tigs »

Hi ,

Any tips on stopping them steaming up? Went out in the rain today - visor wet - normal trick of raising the visor - meant wet glasses - visor down foggy - sigh!

There's also stuff you can get for swimming goggles - but I found one drop of shampoo, rub with finger , rinse and let dry works for them so might with specs too.

I tend to find opening the visor just a bit is enough to stop my glasses steaming up, whilst keeping out (most of) the rain.

Never, in my experience, work 100%.
Maybe because I'm a heavy breather, maybe because my beard blocks off the bottom of my helmet, but I've always had to augment antifog lenses with another treatment for M-cycle riding.

Fair enough - I was just reminding everyone they are out there for prescription lenses.
