I've tried Bobs motorcycle anti-mist, fairy liquid-dry then buff. Never tried Potato or candle wax. Any suggestions, today I was half blind most of the time.
Breathe through your ears.
Or get contacts.
Either works.
The bob heath visor spray is the best solution I have used - far better than the old potato or candlewick tricks. So if it is not working then you are fubared I guess
push them down your nose, so you look over the top of the frame, after a minute they clear up, repeat as required.
I've tried all of them myself found the wax to be the best but none are 100%
I used to wear spesh chicanes they were a pain. Swapped em for some ruddy projects and these are better. There's more clearance which helps air flow. Might be the glasses adding to the problem?
Contacts all the way. No substitute.
Fill them to the brim
Suggest daily contacts - MUCH easier - although I wear normal bike glassess too. Try to keep the glasses about a centimetre away from your face - helps stop condensation forming (due to the difference in temperature between the front surface of the glasses and the inner surface).
I have found the candle wax to have been the best solution to the proiblem so far but also a Halo band to stop the sweat from making things worse.
Try some anti-fog spray from a swim shop.
I always polish them with neat Fairy liquid - seems to work OK
I started a similar thread a month or so back, and posted up a follow-up which may be of use:

Don't stop! 🙂
Dog snot!
The only parts of a rear car windscreen that don't fog up are the places where the captured mutt has rubbed it's snotter against the glass.
Try cleaning your glasses with toothpaste. Works for my snorkel mask when it starts steaming up!
btw my chicanes are fine....
You can buy rain-x products from Halfrods or car diy for motorbike visors but a roadie pal recommended uplink's fairy liquid trick too.
Will try soon!
shaving cream
Salclear. Not DIY, but works pretty well provided it's not raining too hard.
'wear contacts' - er... yeah. Generally one wears glasses over the top of them to keep the mud out. Trying to get dirt out of a lens when you're covered from head to toe in mud and rain is no easy task!
mine only mist up when I stop....guess what the fix for that is?
DIY- first go online. Second, buy some Nikwax visorproof. It is pretty much the business. I've used it for years for motorbike use where it's perfect, for pushbike use it's maybe not quite as good but still the best I've seen or used. And also helps water to bead and run off.
Like Nicko says, contacts only help if you don't then wear glasses over them.
But if you wear contacts you at least have the option to take off your 'over-glasses' if you're slobbing up a big steep hill and getting sweaty.
I used to suffer from this loads (misting up, not getting sweaty going up hill - I still suffer from that!) and it's a real bind if you actually need the glasses to see with (I'm very short sighted).
It was an utter pain back in the day when I went XC racing as I'd have to stop and clean the ****ing glasses which did nowt for my lap times.
So I went to contacts and over-glasses. I could then just slip off the glasses if they got misted and bob was my uncle.

2nd'ed
Works a treat on my motorcycle helmet and that was apaling fo fogging up.
Google 'Fogtech'. Buy some. I promise you it works brilliantly. Not cheap but it really does work.
