headnets and glasses
« on: December 09, 2007, 03:34:00 PM »
Those of you who wear eyeglasses, how do handle your glasses fogging up when you wear a headnet? I have trouble with this and don't like to wear one because of it but getting close to turkeys is hard.

I have the same problem. I usually can wear one of those neck things that are like a stocking, balaclava, baclava,(maybe that's a dessert but I think it's one of those)but can only put it over my mouth, over my nose the glasses fog. Keep meaning to try burnt cork, seems there was something about that in the forum a while back.

I wear my headnet backwards, so it fits looser on my face.  I can see through the mesh and my glasses didn't fog this year.

I sometimes have that problem is really cold weather like today's. I have a good friend that often has that problem, but....hyperventilating at the site of a big buck might be the cause of him "steaming up". Hi, Ben!

I usually just pull my glasses out away from my face a little bit where any breeze can get behind the lenses.  I have also used a 'no-fog' lens cleaner with good results.

Not an economical fix, but LASIK surgery cured that problem for me.  Rain, Snow, and fogged up glasses, interfering with my ability to hunt made it an easy decision.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

they make antifogging stuff. I also use soap film lather up the lens and let it dry and then buff it out. Has to be done daily, but it works.

This sounds dumb but it works.   Rather than the expensive anti-fog stuff, coat your lenses with a light film of toothpaste.  Rub it in then polish it off with a soft cloth.  It works just as well as the anti-fog stuff and costs much less.

I found that if there is an opening for my mouth so I breath out and not behind the net or face cover, it keeps fogging to a minimum.

I wear glasses and have had the fogging problem until this year. I went to a 1/2 mask worn no higher than just below my nose. I camo the upper half of my face with burnt cork. Problem solved!
Got to run so I can get into the woods for an afternoon sit.

Or you could just do away with the mask and use the burnt cork on your whole face. That way you won't have to worry about forgetting or loosing the mask.
Wish I thought of that before....LOL
