    hi all
    are there any suitable products that stop bike glasses from fogging up please?

    Yup. Contact lenses.

    Sorry, but it was the only 100% cure I found.

    Obviously ignore the above if you’re talking about non prescription glasses.

    Fairy liquid.

    Unfortunately I’ve only ever had cheap glasses steam up, none of my Oakley’s do.

    can be very difficult to find something that works in all circumstances. The washing-up liquid thing works for me most of the time but there are still occasions when the glasses just fog up and stay fogged.

    Oakley MX Pro (goggles) are about the best I’ve used but you will get some stick from your mates.

    swedish chef, I’m using oakley jawbones which are the worst fogging glasses I’ve ever owned 🙁

    I’ll try the fairly liquid tip, thanks 🙂

    I use Bob Heath visor spray which is meant for motorbike visors but works well on glasses too. Only a few quid on ebay.

    I ride so fast and so consistently that fogging simply cannot occur. It’s a technique learnt from years of meditation and persperic* training.

    You should have a go. You’ll love it.

    *I’m not too sure if this is a word, I’ll be honest.

    Is there anyone out there who uses Fogtech? I’m sure someone on here recommended it but I found when I followed the directions (apply, don’t buff, let it dry) it left a cloudy residue all over the lenses. A nice kind of pre-fogged effect that is no use to man nor beast! Is it crap or am I “doing it wrong”.

    I had a sample of stuff called “Zooke” many years ago and it worked very well.

    MucOff do a Premium Anti-Fog treatment, works really well but is expensive and really only lasts one ride. Small bottle so can be left in your pack to use on the trail.

    What’s the application process for the Fairy Liquid, exactly?

    Smear a bit on (dry lense) and keep wiping until all removed.

    Not- wash in soapy fairy liquid water.

    I bought some rainX once but haven’t ever actually used it

    Olive oil seems to work too. Not sure of the application process as someone did it for me during Relentless 24. Worked until the mud covered them too badly to see anything even after wiping!

    Thanks, hora. In fog and cold, all I can see is white, sparkly diamonds…

    bob heath visor spray is the best answer to this I have found. Much better than washing up liquid

    Messiah – was that the blue stuff in a pink pot? If so thanks! I used it years ago on my Oakleys, remember it being brilliant but couldn’t remember the name!

    Back in my scuba diving days we used to rub toothpaste on the inside of our masks. Don’t know if this will work.

    Obviously clean it off before use!

    Rain X works but you have to re-apply it after every ride.

    I ahve anti-fog solution but don’t really have any issues as such so just clean with windolene before every ride. Only get steaming if I’m hot and very sweaty and then stop.

    I move them down to the end of my nose a) for the teacher look and b) to let the wind de-mist them for me.

    apparently Head and shoulders, applied in the fairy liquid fashion, is god in low temperatures. (According to a Canadian winter olympic coach who took my mates snowmobiling)

    Fairy liquid and water in a small pump atomiser bottle (available from boots) spray on – wipe off. Works for hours!
    Bottle can be taken out on the trail – win!!

    Shaving foam, fairy, soap. Try any on a bathroom mirror before showering & if that don’t steam up glasses won’t

    I use rain-X and it works to a certain extent, but theres a product from the same company called fog-X. Well worth a try.

    The only thing that ever used to work any good on my motorbike viser and motocross goggles was Bob Heath

    Was going to try rain-x this weekend after a drenching last weekend. Typically, it’s now to be dry all weekend.

    Use the rain-x on the car all the time, makes a huge difference. Most especially when its light drizzle that smears the screen.

    Toothpaste is abrasive but only a little. You can actually polish out scratches on non coated lenses with it.

    Autogleam glass polish does a reasonable job. again, reapply after every ride.
