It's the rainy season again in Oregon (smart remarks will be met with facts about how we had a very long, dry summer here), and that means fogged-up sunglasses. What methods/products are available to prevent fogging of sunglasses? I need something that is not only preventative, but doesn't wash away, since I tend to drip sweat on the insides of the lenses. For people requiring specifics, I wear non-prescription B&L Ray Bans, which are glass lenses. David Elliott tektronix!tekecs!dce

Spit on the surface that fogs! Get up a good, mucosy glob of spittle and rub it in well! Any SCUBA diver will tell you the same thing. (If you don't like that, try a potato. If you really can't stand it, go into a dive shop and ask for a commercial product, but I know nothing about them, having always used the other alternative.) -dick

Get up a good, mucosy glob of spittle > and rub it in well! Early Winters catalogs sell an anti-fogging stuff that works quite well. I've used it mainly on the visor of my motorcycle helmet in cold weather. It dries clear (unlike the other suggestion, above) and a small bottle lasts a long time. Early Winters claims it the same stuff NASA uses on space-suit helmet visors. Actually, I think they just have a couple guys in a back room spitting in little bottles and mailing them off to customers :-).
