Any home made remedies to your glasses from fogging up?

Neutrogena soap or candle wax, buffed off with a soft cloth. Smith used to
make goggles with a little battery powered fan that worked pretty good also.

Taking off your hat helps.

Default Glasses keep Fogging

I never did find a solution that *really* worked.

My glasses always fogged, even with "anti-fog" coating. I think it has to
do with breath moisture and the direction of the wind (i.e., back into your
face is not good).

I switched to contacts and they used to dry out on the downhill (seems I
don't blink enough going downhill). Damn near killed myself in the Norway
Birkie on the last downhill before the stadium.

Finally, I had the lasik surgery and skiing is now trouble free. However,
my night vision is the pits.

Ah well, there is no such thing as a free lunch....

Rudy Project has a model with "double" lenses to address fogging.
I never checked them out but it might worth a try.

Sorry for the late reply, but here it is...

I'm mostly happy with my Native Eyewear glasses that have
ventilation holes built into the frame. If the temps get below
10F, I may experience a little fogging when I'm not moving. (One
of us has nano2 and the other has a model with a smaller lens.)
I tried the Native Eyewear glasses based on a discussion here
several years ago...

I'm especially delighted with the long guarantee on the
glasses. I crunched my frames over the summer and wrote to them
to ask how much a new temple would cost. They replied that the
glasses have a lifetime guarantee and that they will replace the
parts for the handling fee (US$20). When they got the glasses,
they replied that my frame color had been discontinued, and
asked me to pick a new color. I got new frames & new lenses. I
didn't expect them to honor the guarantee after I mashed the
glasses, but was very impressed with the level of service.

I enjoyed (brrrr....) my first skiing of the season at Morse
Farm outside Montpelier, VT over the very, very cold weekend of
Jan 16th. It was really fun to see how they're developing their
network of trails. I don't think they have the hang of grooming
with their new Pisten Bully yet, but I'm sure they will learn
quickly. It's so nice to see a family-run business bring more XC
skiing choices to us. (It was cold enough that I got a little
fog on my glasses when I stopped to catch my breath.)
