Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anti fog for glasses

I wear glasses and most of the time it is fine. I do really struggle with them when hunting. Till I get out to my stand and 25 ft up in my climber I am sweating enough that my glasses fog up. I usually end up taking them off for 15 min or so. Has anybody found an anti fog product that really works and that you would recommend?

There is a product for dive/snorkel masks. Don’t recall the name.

I’ve also heard rainx works. 🤷‍♀️

Some smear the cleaned lenses with toothpaste and wipe with a dry cloth.

Do commercial products to prevent fogging not work for you?

Do you see well enough to not wear them hiking in, or at least while climbing?

Cat crap and no that’s not a joke. People here in the mountains use it in there ski goggles. It works very well.

You can get it at the eye center at the WalMarks

Remember a product called Fogx by the same company for the inside of your wind shield. Don't know if still made.

They sell it all over around here. Didn’t know Walmart had it.

This is outstanding anti fog

We had RainX at work during the big mask-up fiasco…..worked about as good as the mask.

A drop of dishwashing soap on the inside of each lens before you head out. Smear it around good, then rinse it off. Keep you fingers off of the lens after smearing it around. Works for divers/snorkelers around the world.

One of my welding supply shops sells it too.

Scope dope. Little jar of it will last forever!

My optometrist's office sells a spray that does a pretty good job of keeping my glasses clear. It is a clear liquid and you just wipe it off until you can't see any obvious streaks, and stop. If you wipe off too much , it doesn't last as long.

I had tried some that was sold at the Eastern Great Outdoir Show. They did a demo that supposedly showed how great it was. Bought a bottle and stuff was a joke. Makes me think of snake oil salesmen. Anyway, figured I would ask here and hopefully find some that at least halfway works. Will probably try a few. I could probably see well enough to walk in without, hadn't thought of trying that.

Shaving cream.

Toothpaste has fine abrasives in it, will scratch lenses. Maybe not noticeable at first, but will ruin them eventually.

Do you wear a hat with a bill/brim? Take it off until you cool off - bill traps warm moist air and makes the fogging worse. A hood could do same thing.

I've used Cat Crap and scope lens pens, both will work, but I've noticed that my glasses will still fog up once the first thing, then stay clear rest of day.

Yup, we start handing out the little trial size shaving cream cans at work for safety glasses once temps get into the 80s. If its really humid might have to use it twice/day but works great.
