As I get more active in dynamic shooting I find my eye protection fogs up really bad. Admittedly I am a "face-sweater" but any tips as to combat fog would be helpful.

Open for secret potions or brands of eyewear that combat fog well.

Currently I either wear Scott eye pro or Ryder brand cycling glasses. Both fog quick on my fat face.

Thanks
 
I wear Rx Oakley Flak 2.0 for shooting. They sometimes touch my cheeks but never had them fog up, even last weekend which was pretty humid. I use that Oakley nanoclear hydrophobic cleaner on them every so often as I am usually around water activities as well. Not sure if that helps with preventing fogging. Having clean lenses that are free of grease/oils and dust helps preventing fogging as that's what gives something for the moisture to cling/build on.
 
Original old style shooting glasses were high bridge, large lens , flat lens aided ventilation , with wire arms that allowed a good seal under the ear protection........
but that is old school, not tacticool
 
Old motocross trick for goggles is to lightly smear a little washing up liquid (the generic green stuff) over the inside of the lens, let it dry and buff it off.

It helps to combat fogging.
 
Look at companies that specialize in shooting glasses.

Randolph Engineering
Decot
Pilla

I use a couple different Randoplh sets with wrap lenses and they are still really good at not fogging.
 
I have the same issue. I find any glasses that sit too close to my face fog up very quickly, not only safety glasses but sunglasses too. I started wearing my Spy Discord sunglasses instead of real safety glasses just to avoid going foggy during a stage. They are big and square and sit away from my face and don't fog up. This is not really safe though. Then I found out Heatwave Visual also makes some models of their sunglasses as ANSI Z87 safety glasses, with clear, yellow, or tinted/polarized lenses. I bought a set of Regulators and they work awesome. I wear them for work and shooting now. https://heatwavevisual.com/collections/sunglasses/z87

Also look at ESS.
Click to expand...

ESS wipes are the best.... goggles, glasses etc... they hold up for 4H in super high humid bush, then could use a touch up.

I use ESS crossbows and Oakley Det Cord glasses, the ESS crossbows (or suppressors for muffs) give great airflow and lots of view area(also available in Clear, yellow,grey and copper). Det cords are more of an everyday sunglass but I have Prism lenses for mine so I prefer them for the versatility.
 
Not sure if it's the same, but for diving goggles I spit on the inside then wipe clean just before using them. Probably the least expensive product on the market, currently.
 
Between trying to keep itech full and half visors, scubas masks, motorcycle goggles, and my glasses from fogging... I have tried a lot of things over the years. Spit works in a pinch, though it can be short lived. Dish soap, shampoo, and non-abrasive toothpaste all worked well. Smear a bit of one one, let dry, polish it off with a clean cloth.
Commercial sprays never really proved to work any better than those three.
 
There are some options that people have given on the higher end. On the cheap side, Amazon Basics shooting glasses are anti-fog and are $18.62 for a 6 pack.
