Another noobish question.. Mist and sunglasses?
Went for a ride today and encountered a heavy mist that completely obliterated my vision through sunglasses. Visability really was bad. I looked to see if the non-freds were wearing them but I couldnt really see the non-freds as they dropped me. 1/2 way thorugh I just took them off. Is there some kind of secret Im missing?

Throw the stick!!!!
That's the answer. I do carry an Oakley cleaning cloth in case I need it. Today was one of those days I was happy I had it.

This happens to me all the time either when it's really humid or early in the morning if it's foggy.
It usually only happens when I'm stopped, never when I'm moving.
The reason, apparently, is airflow. If your glasses are too close to your face, the temperature of the inside of the lenses gets warmer than the outside, causing condensation to build up.
If this is happening while you're moving, you need to push your glasses further away from your face, down the bridge of your nose. Just enough to get the air moving around the lenses and equalize the temp.
If it only happens when you're stopped, like me, just take them off until you're moving again.
Also, there seems to be some anti-fog solutions available that prevent condensation build-up on glasses. I've heard mixed reviews about them - but it may not hurt to try if it's a real problem for you.
