    Anyone tried vented glasses – you know with the holes around the edge of the lens – Do they work??

    Trying to find the best winter nights no-mud-in-the-eye-but-still-able-to-see option.

    Mofo shades keep steaming up so I can't see where I'm going – or I take them off for the climb, get a bit over excited at the top and forget them for the down – mud in the eye – still can't see……..

    they do a bit but its no magic effect. The best thing is to pull the glasses forward on your nose a little to let them clear.

    More than anything, to clear glasses you need airflow into your face. Climbing in still air around your body, regardless of vents or not makes mine mist up.

    I've got vented Oakley Radar Path lenses. They're expensive but they make a difference, Steptoes are as good a place as any to get them online

    OK. Cheers for the info – I'll look into them a bit more (so to speak)

    +1 on the Oakley Radars. I use the range clear vented lens for night riding and it is sweet, not steamed up once.

    Do the vented ones fog up when you stop?

    I've got Radars with regular/non-vented lenses and they only fog up when I stop riding, but clear very quickly once I start moving again.

    Tried some Jawbones on last week and they felt like the most comfy Oakleys yet. On my Xmas list 😉

    Polish the lenses with Fairy liquid – job done

    Salclear works for me, imo it's pretty amazing stuff

    I'm a fan – vented jawbones here – no problems with fogging though we had a really, really heavy fog one morning last week that meant I had to stop and wipe them clean due to water beading on the outside too quickly to run off. From previous experience I'd say vented radar's are also pretty good.
