Anti-fog for sunglasses

What do you guys use to keep your sunglasses / riding glasses from fogging?

As long as I am moving while riding, my lenses stay clear, but as soon as I stop they start to fog.

I remember Cat Crap from back in day for skiing....anyone use anything else/

Cheers.

these are the best ones I have found so far. They not perfect but they are the closest I know. Mind you, I riding MTB which means I going slow for one hour up a climb. They don't fog up I would say 80% time under the extreme conditions.

Sorry....was not looking for new glasses....meant lens treatments, coatings or cleaners that seem to do the trick.

Cat Crap
Fogtech DX
Scope Dope

Stuff like that....

I’ve been using Sven Can See as well as Cat Crap for riding and XC skiing.
I’ve also had good luck with the Smith no fog cloths.
Still I like the Sven product just because of its name.

I don't use any treatment, I just push my glasses down my nose when I stop. It gets them far enough from my face that they don't fog. Your nose may be smaller

I currently do the same....plenty of real estate on my nose.

Just looking for a solution that works when I drive too...

I've used a few things but the best that I've found was a no name pinkish waxy stick that I picked up a bunch of years ago at a sporting clays competition. I've also had okay luck with the Oakley treatment. I don't remember the name off the top of my head but it almost reminds me of Rain-X. That may work for what you need.

Cat Crap is basically soap. Rub a bar of soap across lenses and buff it out. Both sides. Glycerine soap is best

I use safety glasses from Uvex that come with a factory-applied anti-fog coating. They're not fancy but definitely I won't cry if I lose them, and they work great when it's freezing and I'm wearing them with a Buff that covers my nose.

All of the spray on coatings will need to be reapplied anyway

Hmm... try car wax... sport rx uses a liquid to renovate the anti fog thing they put in their glasses, havent used it in other glasses that arent antifog so I cant tell if it will work or not.

A trick that works well from the hockey-with-visor days is taking a small dab of bodywash or shampoo and polishing it into the dry lenses on both sides with a cotton cloth.

I've done this with some success for my mtb glasses.

I do this at hotels all the time...rub a little circle of dry soap on the mirror before I shower, then rub it dry.

Hotel bathrooms are the worst at fogging up it seems, and this way you can see to shave.

A few years ago we were working in a condenser in a nuke plant with temps about 90 and humidity about the same and our safety glasses were always fogging up.
Someone brought in a can of foamy shave cream,put it on,wipe it off and no more fogging.

I have nice tinted cycling glasses, but the ones I use most are $15 clear safety glasses for cycling in the gloomy PNW. Needless to say, these dont have n anti-fog coating

I really need to step up and buy a decent pair of clear glasses for 2/3 of all my riding !
