Here's something you could try that's no big investment and might work. My son played a lot of paintball for a couple years, and they have this spray you can put on the mask, which kept them from fogging up. I tried it and it worked, but that was with those masks they wear. I talked to a couple hockey players who had similar results. It ought to be available at any paintball shop. It might be worth a try. No promises, but it may work. Is it the same stuff for inside of scuba diving masks? I have some of that to try... I've done worse than fogging my eye glasses...Ive fogged my scope as I line up on a deer.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Hunt earlier in the season. I purchased a used vehicle years ago, When it rained afew weeks later, I noticed the wipers didn't work. I phoned the salesman and he told me "No problem, just drive when it doesn't rain". Of course he was joking and they later repaired it free of charge.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

For me, tomorrow is step 1 for solving the problem- left eye cataract surgery, with right eye to follow in two weeks.
Hope to ditch the glasses permanently, at least for hunting and shooting.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

I have a couple of Columbia Sportswear's "Yazoo" hats. Sides come down and wrap around your chin. Those sides get held on top with velcro when your walking. The hats have a short visor. I've got one in blaze orange for hunting and one in black from when I wore a uniform. They're worth their weight in gold. Sadly, I don't think they're made anymore.

When it gets cold I wear a fleece balaclava. These 80 yr eyes have worn glasses for years. What has worked for me is I have slit the front of the balaclava from chin to above the tip of my nose. It stays together enough to stay warm and opens enough to exit the warm air. Works for turkey hunting too. At -20F I leave the woods so I can't tell you how it works when it's colder than that.

.................. I've done worse than fogging my eye glasses...Ive fogged my scope as I line up on a deer.
Two different hunts this year....one just above the bluff and one just below the bluff.....I was hunting in fog so thick that when I opened my scope caps both lenses got soaked. The fog was so thick I could only see about 20 yards (at one point it was so thick I couldn't see the ground from my stand). First and second time I've had this happen. Soft fleece coat tail saved the day.....lesson learned, I'll never open scope caps in fog that thick until it's time for the shot.

If you have your binoculars hanging down near your belly, don't have the obj. lenses covered, and take a whiz in really cold weather then the lenses will fog something awful.
Regarding glasses, I use the Under Armor cold gear face-mask and leave my nose uncovered. Breathe in through your nose and deliberately out through your mouth.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

Glasses are a pain, no doubt. Like has been stated, only thing I've found to work is leaving my nose uncovered. Inhale through the mouth, exhale through the nose.

As simple as this sounds wildone, it has worked for me for decades. During my many years playing hockey I would occasionally grab some liquid dish soap, apply it to the shield and rub till clear. Worked every time .. may be worth a try as it is quick and cheap.

There is a spray that divers use to keep their mask from fogging. Works pretty good.
Cheap way to do the same is..... spit in your mask and spread it around.... works just as good and it will work on your glasses. After a while, you'll have to repeat the procedure.

I've had the same problem myself. Found a thin stretchy camo tube type neck warmer. I pull it down over my head leaving it around the back of my head with the opening just under my nose. Make adjustments if necessary. Wear a warm hat over it. The material varies but it covers your ears & most of your face, You could wear the fleece over it but I have not found that necessary, use the same thing ice fishing.
