just been out for a short ride and half way up first climb glasses steamed up to the point where I couldn't see, its ok when there is a wind blowing to keep them de misted but when its slow going up a climb and its drizzling rain and warm ish weather its a real pain
thanks
Spray and wipe off with Mr Sheen, inside and out.
FogTech from visorvision.co.uk is the best I've found.
I wish I knew as I have tried nearly all the solutions normally mentioned here (not Mr Sheen though!). I am wondering if my only solution is shift two stone! I have given up on wearing glasses and suffer mud, grit in the eyes as a consequence.
Oakley do a pen to put a coating on the lens. Not tried it so dont know if it works or not though, might just be an expensive gimmick
Tried the muc off stuff, doesnt work. I now use fairy liquid. Small drop and clean off with kitchen roll. Jobs a goodun!

Does work, but within reason.
If your glasses steam up when you ride uphill, take them off...
Oakley Nanoclear works best to get rain to roll off the front of the lens...
Change your style of glasses. Worn them for over 30 years and rarely have an issue with them steaming up ever.
Ride faster.
I think the muc off stuff is really good. You do have to apply before every ride though, not the 2 or 3 rides it recommends.
Get one of those string things that people use to stop them losing glasses. Then just pop 'em off and let 'em hang down when you're climbing. Easy to put 'em straight back on when it heads down

Tiny bit of spit on the inside, polish off, job done, used to do this with my motorcycle visor.
Ended up taking mine off completely during a foggy XC race last year, made for a very 'entertaining' evenings riding! (came last but one IIRC)!
Washing up liquid kinda works, I suffer more with my eyes watering to be honest (don't think fairy will help with that mind)!
Never wear them.
Crud catcher and neoguard mean even in the filthiest conditions very little gets through.
Second the fairy liquid method. Been using it for 30+yrs not found anything to beat it yet.
Post fail!
Third for washing up liquid, just dont cover your gob with a buff during winter and you should be all good!
Rain-X is pretty good (get it from halfrauds)
cheap fix is rub candle wax on both sides and polish off.
in Scuba diving (I was a BSAC Dive Leader) it was always spit or fairy liquid in your goggles before rinsing out with ambient water
in cycling? I've been using Specialized Toro glasses for years which thankfully have a vented lens design which means no fogging, even during wet / warm winter rides at low speed, once you start moving the lens instantly clears
shame they don't make the damn things any more...!
If they are a plastic frame which sits directly on the nose, there is no air circulation.
Get a narrower metal pair for riding, nose pads lift away from face.
Spit.
Bandana and fairy liquid combo worked today. First ever ride where I have kept glasses on. And it was warm and sunny! Result.
I've used RainX on mine, it does work but not as good as Fairy Liquid. 😀
Cat crap from the states off ebay. Discovered it whilst boarding in Canada late 90's, recently remembered it and ordered myself a couple of little tubs.
Even so, its not perfect, but worth a try. In fact I try not to use glasses anymore, they just pish me off. I find goggles much better, but depending on your riding, could look a little silly 🙂
fairy liquid WIN...been using that method for about 9 years....did one side with much off anti fog and one side fairy liquid diluted and the fairy liquid worked ALOT better.... spec savers said you shouldnt use it on their polarized glasses though appratnly
I use the Muc Off stuff, works for me with an application every few rides. Swimming goggle anti-mist stuff is good too. I've tried washing up liquid as well, but it didn't work very well, too unreliable.
FWIW I wear prescription glasses for riding so I need them to be clear in all conditions.
