Shaving cream applied to a bathroom mirror and wiped off will keep it from fogging up.I know they make commercial products for windshield that you may try.Divers use there own spit and it works

Take a bit of dish soap and wipe it on the lense. After rubbing it around good just wipe it off. Try it out on a mirror and you'll see what I'm getting at.

I've worn glasses most of my life and have I've tried a lot of things to keep them clear.  The most convienent and best working I've found is one of the defogging cloths that ski goggle manufactures makes.  I buy an new one once a year and as long as it stays in it's plastic bag it lasts a long time.
I find the older I get, the less I used to know!

Parker's Perfect in 4 oz. pump spray bottle. I keep 2 or 3 of these all the time. I use it every morning that I go out hunting whether in the winter or spring turkey hunting. The best that I have found. I get mine from Cabela's.

I have no idea how they got the name.There is a lens cleaning product called "Cat Crap"
If you google it you'll find many sources. It does a fantastic job on all optics to prevent fogging.

When I was a kid with my first pair of glasses (1950's) we would rub regular old bar soap on our lenses and polish it with a soft cloth until clear again.  Cheap and worked very well.

Contact lenses!  Just kidding.  The bar soap suggestion above works... it really does.  Scope manufacturers also sell lens "fogproofing" wax that has the consistency of... well, bar soap!

Cut an onion and rub it of the lenses.  Just throw the rest of the onion in a pan with butter and cook up some fresh venison liver.  Dick

When it 1st came out all they had a paste. A little jar lasted many years.I got some spray a couple of years ago. It works just as well and is easier to put on. I'm pretty sure the spray won't last as long and might cost alittle more.

I've used tooth paste (not gel) on scuba masks and it works fine..
Also your local snow ski shop will have anti fog cloths for ski mask.

I've had the best luck wearing a facemask that did not cover the mouth.
