Getting on in age has compelled me to wear eye glasses , hate to wear them but what are you going to do. When wearing hat and face mask hunting any one have any tricks for keeping the dam glasses from fogging up , from our breath i guess. Any ideas its a pain !
-
I've never been able to come up with a solution to that. Going without the face mask helps. At least when walking around.
Maybe other ideas will be proffered.
-
Go with face paint instead of the mask.

Ya I'm a fan of face paint too. HS makes a compact 3 color deal w a mirror so ya can see if your camo
-
What do scuba divers do?
-
I know someone who uses Johnson baby shampoo on there diving mask and hockey shield and said it works
-
There are anti fog products made for glasses...they are not perfect but better than nothing

CatCrap lens cleaner/anti fog has worked well for me. Think I bought mine at REI.
-
Cut holes for nose and mouth.
-
Scuba divers breathe through their mouth and the mask is over your nose. Spitting on your glasses will not help if you breathe on them.
I've never been able to wear glasses with a mask and keep them clear.

I m thinking face mask as in the kind that keeps the face warm. If it's for camo, the face paint should work. Never had much luck with the anti fog formulas.
-
Face mask and eye glasses will not work in cold temps or hot. I fog up always. Just have to find another way that will work for you
AND YES GLASSES ARE A PAIN IN THE BUTT.
-
buy you some contacts to hunt in.
I did and really like them
-
Pull the mask down enuf to go under your nose. It keeps the warm moist air from geting up to your glasses. Works for me, anyway.
Tried contacts, they were OK but never got comfortable.
-
contacts wiork best for me. I use the 30 day disposable
-
Contacts or face paint.

Ummm...dude...yer not wearing your glasses in the approved location! :eek: :knothead: :bigsmyl:
Those anti-fog sticks and such are not much more then soap! I've read if you coat your glasses with regular dish soap, let dry, they wont' fog. I don't do that myself and just pull down under my nose when things fog... :(
-
Would love to go the contact route but being in the tri-focal stage, I can only pick one vision range.
-
Grow a beard. I can't wear masks with my glasses either - just have to go without one. But I never hunt in cold weather without my neck gaiter!
-
yep
I went out last week and even with a hole cut to exhale, I had to be careful
Im going with paint next year.

Burnt cork makes an excellent face cover put some around your eyes to camouflage the face and the glasses.
-
It only happens to me when I cover my nose. The warm moist air travels up and fogs you up. I only have a problem in the severe cold due to the fact I cover my nose. First thing I do is pull my mask down before I shoot. I have to use a thin mask of it will mess my anchor up or I perceive it will mess my anchor up.
If you really do not want to fog up, place a piece of plastic tape over your nose to prevent the air from rising up and under your glasses. I do this everyday at work with my surgical mask.
-
I put my glasses in a case and put them in my pocket. I can't shoot worth squat with them on, but I bring them along so that I can visit Tradgang and so that I don't cut my own fingers off if I have to dress out a deer. I also tried contacts, but they are more of a pain than they are worth. I can see just fine at longbow range.
-
Cut a mouth hole in the mask and if that doesn't fix it, cut an opening for your nose too ... then breath through your ears :biglaugh:
-
Just don't cover your nose.
-
I can't see an arms length without my glasses. When I clean them I use a spritz of "Ultra Clear" that my optician carries and wipe with a micro-fiber cloth (also from my optician). I think the latter is treated with an anti-fog.
I find getting small lenses helps. I wear either a 1/2 or 3/4 mask that pinches over my nose and I cut a "breathing hole" for my nose/mouth.

As mentioned above Anti-fog hockey visor spray. Should work well.

Grow some whiskers...

Fletcher X2. With the mask up over my nose, there is no way to keep the glasses from fogging up. Plus, the negligible amount of reduced face concealment as a result won't matter. Never used camo paint as it probably won't do much to keep your face warm in cold temps. Never used contacts.
