how do ya keep the glasses from steaming up when ya got a face mask on, the camo paint thing is a pain cause ya can't get it off, and it doesn't help a bit with skeeters and or cover up the shine of the glasses, face nets just steam up...unless of course I quit breathing.....so what are you all doing????

Had that problem the first four days of season. Got contacts on day five. Still getting used to it... so far, so good.

I use burnt cork for camo, it's cheap and it comes off real easy. When my father in law was alive he use to take a pair of clip on sunglasses and pop the lens out of them and sew them into the headnet. for some reason it would help with the fogging.

I vote with Bear - the only thing I've ever found that actually works is contacts.

For anti-fog help, I know this sounds dumb but polish your glasses with toothpaste (don't use gel or anything weird - just plain old toothpaste). It *really* helps and it's cheap.
For camouflaging your face, (my son hates this but what does he know - heh) I like a bandanna. When I don't need it, he hangs out of the way, but when I do - just pull it up bandit style and it works great.

The coldcream based camo is much easier to get off than the grease based but sweats off easier too

I now use Carbomask - much easier clean up and does not feel like bacon fat on my skin.
I gave up on face masks because of excessive fogging.

I like carbomask too. It's a little pricey but it works good. Comes off really easy with water too. It also cleans your face, doesn't stink cause the activated charcoal

Believe it or not the toothpaste thing works. Where can a guy get the carbomask?

I have found that regular non-scented wet wipes (equate) from Wal-mart works great to take off H.S. camo make-up from the face. Comes off e-a-s-y. Been using it over 12 years now with no problems.
Got me curious about carbomask though. . .

I use the Spandoflage and like Ben said you can cut a small hole and enlarge till it fits you,I don't like looking thru the netting so I cut a slot at eyeglass level makes for a clear veiw and your breath keeps the rest of face warm. I hunt from ground and have yet to spotted because of glasses in veiw.

I pull the mask down just below my nose since the problem is mostly from the breath funneling up on each side of the nose.I know the nose is still exposed.Might just camo your nose a bit.I pull my Boonie style hat down very low so not much is exposed.I also try to force my breath downward and that helps a bit.
I think contacts are the way to go and need to get some.just cant afford it right now.

The jurry might be out on the contacts after all. Causing headaches and my eyes are having a hard time adjusting to feeling that, well... like there's something in my eyes.
I hear this is normal at first. I really want it to work. Probably check back with the doc later this week if it keeps up.
Hope this is on topic. Seems to be, in this case.
