Hi all...collective wisdom needed... I am fed up with eye wear. There...it's that simple. Can anyone recommend some eye wear that won't fog up, and won't require a re-mortgage? I mainly ride on A roads and urban...I don't really like my visor down, but do want some eye protection. I generally just wear £3 cycling glasses/goggles from Decathlon...but they fog up (in this cold weather) unless I am moving...so great for the A roads...not so good when at traffic lights! Any suggestions...? I appreciate you get what you pay for, and am willing to invest (relatively), say up to about £50, in some proper goggles that allow me to ride without fogging up...or, is it simply me against physics?
Us Oldies will say that you cut a potato in half and wipe the surface over the inner lens surface - it's supposed to stop the lens misting up. Whether it's effective or not I couldn't rightly say. It's also said that liquid soap smeared thinly over the lens and allowed to dry will have the same effect. Again, dunno if it works but worth a try before you punt £50 on something that is equally unlikely to work. Or maybe try some/one of these;- https://www.greenham.com/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Eye-and-Face-Protection/Vented-Goggles~c~AHG Thing is, I can't imagine £3 cycling glasses are actually sealing against your face and causing the misting through lack of ventilation so it's a bit of a stretch to think that ventilation alone will cure it. Doesn't help, but might lead you towards some experimentation?
Actually, that's a very good point! Maybe a nose mask/breath deflector would help? https://www.amazon.co.uk/slp/cycling-mask-anti-pollution/vjmpsmc722q36y6
Something like this has got to be worth a try, or some glasses wipes have an anti-fogging element https://www.amazon.co.uk/Optec-Anti...14260P22A1K&psc=1&refRID=2YFWCYFQZ14260P22A1K
This is now in the post, thank you! Hopefully a combination of this and holding my breath...I should beat this thing!
