bigbassin' Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Not sure where to put this, but does anyone have any tricks to prevent your sunglasses from fogging up while wearing a buff? Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 Only thing that works for me is not pulling it over my nose. If it's over my nose it always fogs my sunglasses. Quote
Big C Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 ^^^ Pretty sure scuba divers use it to keep their goggles from fogging up. Quote
Ski213 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 There are de fogging agents that can be bought and a lot of home remedies, if you will. Toothpaste, baby shampoo, soap, etc. I've not heard of cat crap but that doesn't mean it doesn't work like a charm. Whatever you use, make sure it's not going to destroy your glasses. Manufacturers use some coatings that are sensitive to a lot of chemicals and could be screwed by something abrasive as well. I don't know if you're wearing a $10 pair or a $300 pair. If it's the latter I would definitely consult the manufacturer. You're probably not going to prevent it 100% but you can probably lessen the fogging. Biggest thing is to adjust where you're pushing as little hot humid air on to the glasses as possible. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 This Sun Gaitor from Simms has a contoured shape & cut as well as a ventilated front. These reduce but do not completely eliminate the fogging deal. But it's the best I've tried for those extra heated trips. Worked great in Mexico last June.

Super User fishballer06 Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 Best advice I can give is to not cover up your nostrils or the side of the glasses where the lens/frame meets the arm. That doesn't give your breath an escape route except up into the lens. 1 Quote
Matthew2000 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Spit, Divers spit in their goggles to keep it from fogging up. I do this with my sunglasses on sunny days and it works. You spit on the lens and run it in. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 I recently picked up buffs from a company called 12WT. The buff is comprised of 2 materials. The material that covers the face and nose region is made of mesh. Allowing air to flow more freely, reducing fogging of Sunglasses and it allows you to speak easier as well. 1 Quote
