Quick Fix: Foggy Cycling Glasses

PROBLEM: In misty or foggy weather, your glasses get covered with fine droplets and start streaking. You can’t see squat!

SOLUTION: Here are three fixes that work:

—Check at your local eyeglass store. There are optical products made to prevent lens fogging.

—Check at your local dive shop. There are de-fog products made for facemasks that work on glasses, too.

—If you have a bottle of Rain-X for your car windshield, apply some to your glasses. This stuff sheds water so well that you can drive through rainstorms without using wipers.

        You’re very welcome. I used it decades ago and it hasn’t changed. I recently turn a friend onto it and he loves it. Now I live in a very humid climate and I’ve learned to just not remove my glasses when stopped.

    I know it’s gross to some, but spit works too. An old trick with swimming goggles.

    A very small amount of liquid soap…wipe on and then wipe off.

    I once put the anti-fog solution I use on swimming goggles on the inside and outside of my riding glasses. Although the glasses did not fog, in the rain the water spread over the lenses making them very difficult to see through. My solution since has been anti-fog on the inside (to stop the fogging) and Rain-X on the outside so that rain beads up and runs off.
