If you can't wear fingerless gloves, the next best thing are something like these. Light and breathable and not bulky so you have some dexterity.

I've never found a pair of glasses that won't fog up eventually, so just get some anti-fog wipes or some Cat Crap.

Heeeeeey glasses wearers! Last week I raved about silicone temple grips to help keep spectacles from shimmying down the nose and cutting off air supply. This week I'm going to continue on that theme with a couple of anti-fog reviews.

First I tried two home remedies to keep my lenses from fogging up while I run. The first is good ol' saliva. I horked a glob on my lenses, rubbed it around with my finger, gagged a couple of times, and begrudgingly put my glasses on. As soon as my spit dried, my glasses were left with streaks and splotches that were almost worse than the fog that happened before I reached the end of the block.

The second home remedy I tried was dish detergent. I coated a thin layer of dawn on my glasses and lightly buffed it with my tee shirt before setting off on my run. It must have been a self-fulfilling prophecy situation. I was terrified of my sweaty eyelashes rubbing against my lenses and picking up bits of soap to sting my eyes. And that's exactly what happened. Minimal fog, though!

I ordered a couple of products on Amazon to try as well. The first was a generic cleaning wipe that's apparently so generic and worthless, Amazon doesn't remember me ordering them. I've got the box to my left, and yet searching for it on Amazon and checking my order history yields nothing. As far as anti-fog properties, it yielded nothing, too. It did make my glasses pleasantly clean, though.

Up next we have Cat Crap. I was having flashbacks to the dish detergent day when I tried this stuff and my eyes could not stop watering. Or maybe I was sobbing. I don't really recall. What I DO recall is my entire run that day, on the lense I put the Cat Crap on, was so incredibly clear, I could see the reflection of my tears in my lenses if I angled the daylight just right. I ended up looping back to my car to coat a thin layer of Cat Crap on my other lense and buffed it with my tee shirt.

The last product I tried was Jaws Quick Spit. After cleaning my glasses thoroughly (that Cat Crap worked for a couple of days 'cause I'm gross and don't clean my glasses unless they're visibly soiled), I spritzed a bit of Spit on one lense, buffed it clean with my tee shirt. Are you seeing a pattern here with the buffing? It works considerably better with all products if you use a cotton tee over a dri-fit tech shirt. My lense only fogged up in the tiniest streak where I must have missed a spot. By the end of the day, they were right back to fogging when I opened the dishwasher too soon.

The Cat Crap ended up being my favourite for a couple of reasons.

• You can control exactly how much goes on your glasses, and the tiniest amount is really all you need. While the Spit worked as well as the Cat Crap, you're left to the mercy of the spray pump, and I had a lot of wasted product come off onto my shirt.
  
  
• It's such a small, convenient container. It can fit into the tiny, unused pockets of hydration systems. It can sit unnoticed in a pocket. Hell, you can probably tuck it in your sock, not that you would have much need. As I said, it lasted for a couple of runs.
  
  
• It lasted for multiple runs! Hell, my glasses didn't even fog up in the bathroom for my post-run shower.

I use Cat Crap on my ski googles to prevent fogging.

No, really.

CatCrap

Rub it on the inside of the goggles, let dry for 1 minute, then buff off with a microfiber. I use it all year round in Texas so heat and sweat build up in there usually. I have never fogged once I started using it on the inside lens only.

And a tip, if water is beading (But not fogging), it's better to just leave it because in my experience it's less likely to fog when it's beading up.

A lot of people are complaining about their shooting glasses fogging up. If that's the case, I can wholeheartedly recommend this product: Cat Crap anti-fog and lens polisher. This stuff works great. I've used it for scuba diving masks, paintball and airsoft masks and my Oakley half-jackets in Iraq. I have yet to find a better product.

Awesome idea! If you love that person that much more, just had to share a step up from this product without having to know tire pressure: http://www.amazon.com/FOBO-Bluetooth-Compatible-Monitoring-Motorcycles/dp/B00WBD00FO

Added this to my wheels and having pressure and a quick temperature readout in the morning before leaving my kitchen is pretty insanely nifty.

I use squash goggles - with prescription lenses. I also use a product called "cat crap" to avoid them streaming up. It's a very catchy marketable product name don't you think!

Seems to work OK for me - and it's perfectly safe.

You can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002BHWZFI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474003974&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=cat+crap+anti-fog&dpPl=1&dpID=41QJrvPBofL&ref=plSrch

This is what I use, and I wear glasses. They're kinda small glasses, and they're not my usual glasses that I use on a regular basis.

I recommend getting Cat Crap to prevent fogging, and removing the foam on the top of the goggles.

it's got a weird name but it works. Cat Crap

Cat Crap is what most people use, you can buy it at almost any ski shop, your mountain shops should have it too.

I typically get anti glare coatings on my lenses but I've never heard of anti fog for regular glasses. I'm also in the camp that pretty much always wears contacts to the gym and regret it any time I don't.

If you want to keep the glasses, you could look into applying your own anti fog coating. A runner friend uses some stuff called "cat crap" that he said works pretty well except in super cold temps. No, I'm not joking on the name of the stuff - Amazon link for cat crap.

Don't use Windex or Rain-X, as both could damage your visor (YMMV). Instead what I've used is either diver's mask anti fog (you can find it at any sports store or online) or better yet Cat Crap. I found with the diver's anti fog I had to reapply every 2 days, while with the Cat Crap I could reapply every 3-4. Be careful when applying, as it takes a bit of practice to really get just the right amount and buff it to a shine.

You might also need a new visor if you've used Windex or Rain-X; some visors just react badly to the chemicals (for whatever reason). On the outside try Turtle Wax, inside use Cat Crap, cross your fingers and pray. If all else fails get a breath box; they are pretty cheap depending on your helmet.

Edit: On Pinlocks, I checked a few out and (This is just my opinion, YMMV) felt that they distorted around the edges too much.

My first recommendation is to get contacts and only wear them on days when you cycle or do other sports that are eyewear restrictive.

Before getting contacts, this was a HUGE issue for me, luckily some products help immensely. I used to have a pair of glasses with perscription inserts which I treated with a product called Cat Crap. It is a wax based treatment for your glasses that makes them hydrophobic.

Today, I use contacts and I have a rain pair of sunglasses treated with the stuff above. Water rolls off them kind of like a car windshield treated with RainX.

As far as contacts go, I concur with u/w0ss4g3 try out multiple brands of contacts. I settled on biofinity, the ones you CAN wear for a month but I take them out every day and clean them with hydrogen peroxide solution. I had to try 5 different brands before I found a lens that worked with my eye shape and use.

A good defogging agent is catcrap. It's for skiing but I use it for airsoft. I use the paste, can't say anything about their new spray.

I use Cat Crap. REAL NAME, PLEASE DON"T AUTO DOWNVOTE! I couldn't think up a troll that good. Use on my glasses to prevent fogging in fall months. Effective for about a week if I don't wipe it off too strenuously.

Bought it originally when I was dirt poor and scratched a glasses lens pretty deep, pavement fall. Visible groove. Didn't remove it, but did make it a lot more acceptable. Also cleared up all the low level scratches I had.

Motorbike rider friend says they use it on helmets for sweaty fog and branch scratches.

Two suggestions: apply cat crap to your goggles so they don't fog up, or get some non-splash goggles (you don't honestly need splash protection for most lab work) like these ones I wear in lab.

Catcrap.

I can have standing water inside my goggles, but they will never fog.

1. I don't know. Neither does Google (it seems).
   
2. Because that's what they claim it does. I'd follow the link to Amazon for more info.

Everyone always states for me to get contacts. But I honestly despise them. I was recommended cat crap for lenses.

Try cat crap on your glasses.

It's not actually cat poop, it's a great but poorly named product.

You might want to try a different antifog treatment. I've heard a lot of good things about Cat Crap. I think your best course of action is to fight the fog rather than unnecessarily downgrading in eye protection.
