How do keep them from fogging up?

I wear glasses all the time. Keratoconis

The coatings they put on my glasses prevent fogging for the most part

Otherwise rainx wipes lol

Got some new cousin in-laws

Both wear glasses. Making gut shots on deer last couple years. Every time me and Ren50 pull up to them, them dudes are always fogged up. Couple of mouth breathers.

Just wondering if the glasses are their problems

Aint just their only problem.
It's a grand mal combo of schit....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I need glasses. Good glasses from a competent optician make a huge difference in spotting game, shooting, the works. You can get coated lenses, or just use RainX or some other ski-goggle anti-fog. As for bifocals or any of that, heck no. Distance vision only so you can spot jill pokes, rocks, everything that is going to poke or deck you in the woods.
If you need something for detail, keep those in your pocket with a fog rag.

Maybe their not carrying hot enough to burn off the moisture?

Oh, in answer to your question, yes. Sunglasses from sunup to sundown. Light sensitive eyes. Always have a hat on too. And mostly I have wrap around glasses or safety prescriptions with side shields.

Maybe they don't fog up much because I live out west, where the humidity isn't "dripping wet" 355 days a year?

It's a bitch.
When it's real cold, and you are scoping people to figure out
who they are, either your scope hogs, or your glasses.

Especially if you are breathing hard are after stripping the orange and
running to a good hiding place.
Gotta be careful too.
Have the trigger on my 700 turned to 14 oz and the
safety only half works carrying hot.

Gut shot a llama last year. Thought it was a deer, was scoping it
from the truck. Dropped the flashlight, and bumped the safety.
Kabooo! All the lights came on in the trailer.
Had to get out of there quick. Heard later that the kids were
doing a Go-Fund-me to pay for a Llama colostomy.
Kicked em a 5 when my check came.
Least I could do.

Yep, I wear 'em.

Body heat fogs them some.

Take hat / toque & glasses off, to acclimatize.

All good !

Reading glasses in my shirt pocket.

Firearms..... Try it some time...

Have worn glasses for distance vision for 20+ years. Only have trouble with fogging if I'm overdressed and putting out a lot of effort. Remedy to that is slowing down and opening up the layers to get cooled down and removing the hat. Latest set with all the fancy coatings doesn't seem to have much trouble with fogging at all.

I wear glasses and don’t have that problem, unless I go from a cold outside to a warm & humid inside environment.

Might I suggest the below for the mouth breathers in your life:

Never leave home without these.

You know, if you could get those with the coating that looks like a fly's eyes, you might just scare someone when they scoped you.

Contact lenses.

You’re welcome 😉

Elaborate please?

Lavender or puce?

Hunted my whole life with glasses until I had the surgery, I don't remember having a fogging issue.

Could be their triple layered Scent Loc suits

I had to wear glasses for most of my life, had IOL replacement last year, distance vision is perfect only use dollar store readers. Scope use is great.

I did ok with glasses on the HighPower rifle range for years, just had to work at it some.
