Title: Facemask for those with glasses?
Post by: SpokaneSlayer on October 27, 2009, 09:31:35 AM: The one thing I really hate about wearing glasses is that they fog up, especially when wearing a facemask in cold weather. Does anyone know of a facemask or any other technique to combat this? I've tried Cat Crap/Scope Dope, anti-fog spray, and even liquid soap. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I looked into that through my military hospital. My eyes aren't bad enough to qualify to get it done. And I can't afford it otherwise.

if it's really cold my glasses will fog up face mask or not under the right circumstances.

Post by: Watz_Hunt on October 27, 2009, 03:12:44 PM: yes yes i would definitely suggest something that is an antifogging agent for suba masks..... I am a diver and have no problem when im in 30 degree water.

Post by: bighorns2bushytails on October 27, 2009, 07:54:24 PM: ive tried various products as well and very few seem to help and the ones that do only for a short amount of time. masks that have a mouth hole seem to fog me less so i cut holes into my masks that did not have them and this has helped some.

overall i pretty much think i am going to get contacts or eye surgery to fix the problem its the worst most annoying thing ever! i had to shoot my turkey 3 years ago looking over the top of my glasses and my deer this year i just had to take them off all together. i may try some of this scuba anti fogging stuff but that doesnt work im going under the knife i tell ya!

Post by: stumprat on October 27, 2009, 08:00:17 PM: In the winter I also use shaving cream to keep from fogging up. Put on both sides of the lens, and rub clean. Doesn't leave a residue.

Post by: nw_bowhunter on October 27, 2009, 09:06:18 PM: I have glasses and have this problem to. Here is an idea.. When I play paintball I use a mask with a fan inside. I can play paintball all day long sweating my ass off but yet my glasses never fog as long as I run the fan. You could wear an armor face mask underneath. It would would strange but you could see")
