foggy glasses
I'm newbie, love x skiing so far, but have to find something to use on my
good glasses to keep them from fogging up. I'm fine if I keep moving but I'm still at that huff and puff stage....So when I stop the glasses fog up! -- |

I ski with some guys way above my caliber, and notice the same problem
exists. Ski (or bike) with your glasses on, and you can't see for the frosting up, and ski without your glasses on and you can't see. Take your pick. I wear contacts in a race or a long ski. I did notice that old glasses with larger lenses which come close to my cheek stay much clearer. Paul. |

I'm fine if I keep moving but I'm still at that huff and puff stage....So when I stop the glasses fog up! It seems funny I don't have the same problem. I wear wraparound prescription sunglasses (plastic lenses), old sunglasses with glass lenses, or plastic clean glasses with no fogging. I perspire heavily, so I would expect this to be a problem. The only time I have had fogging is when I wear a balaclava with either my nose of mouth covered, or sometimes when it is very cold and I breathe out of my mouth too much (exhaling upward a bit I guess)(exhaling through my nose seems to fix it. Mostly it is sticky snowflakes that get me. My wife kids me about the Elmer Fudd hat with the earflaps and brim I wear to keep some of the snow off the glasses. Anybody know of a cooler hat with a brim and ear warming somethings? gr |

What could possibly be cooler than an Elmer Fudd hat?

living in NH you quickly acquire a hat and glove collection. Warmth is
fashion. And I hate anything on my glasses. I'd love one of those fur Russian hats or bomber hats, but have some pride- wouldnt that look sweet with a headlight on also? you'd fit right in here. no worse than the 2 pairs of PJ's at night I guess Diane "JCZ" wrote in message ...

Rudy Project makes a special set of glasses that a friend of mine has
that work very well for him -- it is the Ekynox Mask. See bottom of this page: http://www.rudyprojectusa.com/produc...gles/index.htm. Gearwest sells these online http://store.yahoo.com/gear-west/ruprekma.html. I get some fogging with my glasses, but the key things to reduce it are the amount of movement of air over the lens and also not wearing too much clothes. If possible, I think it's worth experimenting with different glasses to see which work best. And some models of sports glasses, such as from Smith and Rudy Project, have adjustable nosepieces that can be used to fine tune the fit and help with fogging. For me, I had one pair that fogged less than another, and noted some differences between them in terms of fit. The pair that fogged less sat higher up my face. I was able to adjust the fit of the more foggy pair with a set of glue-on nose pads -- they were from Rudy Project but would work on many other plastic framed glasses --- to change the position of the lens on my face. That helped a lot. JT **************************** Remove "remove" to reply Visit http://www.jt10000.com **************************** |
