The problem with snowmachine visors is the build up of moisture from sweat. Even the very best helmet with the very best breath deflector will eventually cloud up with sweat from your cheeks and moisture from your eyes.
I had a heated visor that would prevent fogging but eventually you had to wipe the moisture away to see clear again. The wires connecting the visor to the sled proved to be a pain in azz.
I ended up going with a helmet that had a really good breath deflector and tight fitting goggles that wouldn't let air seep past and cause frostbite on my cheeks. I used a Scott goggle anti-fog cloth to wipe the moisture off and treat the goggles. It was THE best set up I found.
FWIW, liquid Rain X will screw up the coatings on plastic ski goggle lenses.

All that diving stuff goes out the window with an SCBA mask in a fire type situation, and the only thing I've seen.
My SCBA lenses have always been treated but even that sometimes fails. Quick burp of the bypass valve clears her up quick Yep, but since I"ve gone to defog it, I don't have to burp the valve... good things. What do you treat your SCBA with? Or are you saying the come pre-treated? Ours evidently do not.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

He didn't ask for my input, but I was asking because a family member was having problems with his glasses fogging when hunting. I'm going to email a link to this thread to him.
Thanks so much y'all and sorry it took so long to get back.

I put Rain-X. It also will be bead up rain while hunting. I have a set of glasses dedicated to hunting. Not sure I would put them on my regular glasses.
Otto is my co-pilot.

I have used this solution for many years. I don't wear a mask & my glasses, scope, & binoculars used to fog up. Usually takes several applications & if its a cold day & I'm walking needs to be reapplied. I buy mine at cabala's.
