hoosiergramps Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I have to wear a gaitor when I fish to protect my face from the sun. When I do my sunglasses and even my regular glasses fog up badly. I have looked for a vented one and have not found one yet. Help! Quote
Heartland Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Look into the products and practices that scuba divers use to keep their masks from fogging. 1 Quote
Smalls Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 You must’ve not looked very hard. Aftco, Huk and Simms all make a vented buff. Quote
Dirtyeggroll Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 There are vented ones. However, I still get fog with mine if it’s not really hot outside. my solution has been to pull the gaitor down under my nose. Seems to help a lot. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted June 6, 2019 Super User Posted June 6, 2019 I have vented Costa's and they still fog if I pull my buff up too high. Outside of having a fan built into the inside of the glasses, there's no true way to prevent this in the heat and humidity. Quote

I've done that as well, but it kind of defeats the purpose of protecting your nose from the sun. Maybe applying some rubbing alcohol or Rain-X to the glasses will help with fogging. Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted June 6, 2019 Global Moderator Posted June 6, 2019 There's a product called cat crap that's supposed to prevent this. That's literally what it's called Quote

Clever name tho, eh? I’ve never had a buff or anything anti fog, I just figured it was inevitable as I live in a humid jungle. My solution is to move my shades down my nose about 3/4” Quote
Hawkeye21 Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 If it's humid out there isn't much at all I can do. I run into the same problems. Quote
