OK,heres the poop.

Clean the lens well, dry it, then take some good ole dishwashing soap.
Apply a thin layer on the lens, then just polish it dry with a soft
cloth. It should not fog up until the layer of soap is gone.

Works for me, with my glasses

This is what a hockey playing acquaintance used to do with his full
face shield, used to drive the landlady wild until he took my
suggestion and bought her a gallon jug of the stuff.

I can confirm that dishwashing soap works well. I rode motorcycles for 19
years (in all weather, including snow) when I lived in the UK and always
coated the inside of my visor with dish soap. You will never fog up again
and it costs a fraction of what you would pay for 'magic' liquids that are
on sale.

To apply, first wash your shield in hot, soapy, water to ensure it is
abdsolutely cean and then pat it dry with a clean towel.

Next, use a soft cloth or very soft paper towel (you do not want to
scratch the visor/face shield) and add just 1-2 drops of dish soap to it
(no more than a couple of drops, you DO NOT need much!)

Start at the top edge and wipe the inside face of the visor/face shield
from one side to the other in a single pass with the area of cloth into
which the dish soap has soaked. Move down the visor/face shield and come
back with another single pass. Repeat the above until the entire depth of
the visor/face shield has been coated.

Fold the cloth/paper towel so that you have a clean, non-soapy, area to
work with and starting at the top wipe off the excess soap using the same
long passes. You do not need a thick coating of soap to stop it misting
up, a film a few microns thick is all that is required.

To test the film breathe on the visor/face shield,if your coating worked
correctly it should not fog up!
