Some glasses use more ventilation than others. Just try a different
style and see how it goes. I have been buyin mine by the dozen from
this place:
http://www.northernsafety.com/?ovchn... om&ovtac=PPC

They have many many styles to choose from and by far stock a wider
variety of saftey glasses that I have seen, and cheap prices. When I
searched for anti-fog I got 33 results. Link:

Rubbing them with bar soap and wiping them with a dry cloth
will help some.

Glasses, or goggles? By goggles, I mean the type with not just front lenses,
but also a wraparound that goes straight back, creating a closed container
within the goggles.

try the scuba-divers trick. a bit of spit on the inside, rub it round
with your finger and give it a quick swill out under the tap. then wear!
costs exactly as much as i like to pay!

Two steps:

1. Use glasses that vent well. Remember, base your type of glasses
on the work you are doing. If you have to use low-vented models, like
splash proof, then do what is required and clean them often with step
#2.

2. Clean the glasses with an anti fog cleaner. I've heard good
stories about Rain-X's anti fog, from people who work in very humid
conditions. However, allways follow manufactures instructions.

Stop working hard. big grin

Seriously, if you find a good answer, I'd like to hear it.

Until then, keep your nose UNCOVERED if possible. I have found that, with a
scarf over my mouth AND nose, my exhaled breath is captured and directed
upward toward my safety glasses and fogs them badly.

I may look into the Rain-X suggestion. It will be interesting to see what
effect, if any, it has on PLASTIC lenses.

I agree with the anti-fog approach. When diving, for an anti-fog when you
don't have anti-fog, we spit on our masks and rub the glass with the spit.
Seems to work just as well as the anti-fog, albeit a little messy.

a search on ebay.com for
safety glasses anti-fog
or
safety goggles anti-fog
should result in plenty of hits for glasses that have anti-fog lenses or
safety goggles that have anti-fog vent holes
you might be able to find some locally also
