I bought a pair of cycling glasses on sale for 30.00 marked down from 85.00. These things look a feel great but they fog up very quickly and they smear with sweat to the point that I can't see out of them. Do they make a pair of sunglasses that don't fog and sweat runs off? I'm dying here, I just got contacts and I need the glasses to keep them from drying out. Thanks

There is stuff available that you can coat the lenses with to eliminate fogging. Cat Crap is suppose to work well.

Anything with vented lenses will help with de-fogging them when they get all moisture-y. My Oakley Jawbones with vented lenses will occasionally fog up when I stop if it's really humid out or rainy but once I start moving again they clear up almost instantly.

Oakley is really your one stop shop, but perfection doesn't come cheap. Hydrophobic lenses (sweat runs off), anti-fogging (fog up some when you stop at a traffic light, but clear right up as you start moving), well beyond ANSI Z81 high velocity/mass impact protection, wide wrap around protection from all angles, and no framing on sides bottom.

I use Vented Persimmon, high contrast for low light/night cycling.

Vented Gold Iridium, day riding, high contrast, low light transmission

Can pick up frame with persimmon from their industrial store, and add the darker lens of your choice from their accessory lens section.

Yup, this. By far the best sunglasses in the rain too (have to have something covering my eyes at all times on the bike). I use persimmon with an iridium coating to give it a bit better glare resistance and then have black iridium for sunny days.

baby shampoo also helps reduce fogging, I know divers who use this trick... which is free if you have small children or cheap if you don't. As for the hydrophobic properties.. keeping the sweat off is better, try a thin bandanna at the eyebrows to redirect the flow

I wear the Oakley Flak Jackey XLJ with the polarized black iridium lenses. I never have a problem with fogging up the lenses, even with our high humidity. The only problem I have is in low light settings. The lens is fantastic in the sunny settings. I'm looking into ordering another set of lenses for that situation.

One vote for Rudy Project here. Great, great lenses, lots of photochromic options, and I've never had a problem with fogging. As with Oakley, though, it comes at a price. Honestly, though, a good pair of glasses is so valuable that eyewear is one place where spending the extra cash is worth it.

Previously had the Oakley Hijinks and those fogged. All the edges of the frame touched my face and the lenses were not vented. I loved them because they blocked all light and wind but on humid days they fogged pretty good. No issues now with my perscription Oakley Jupiters. If I didn't need a script I would get the jawbones with persimmon and dark lenses. The scripts makes them a bit to pricey just to bike with. My wife hates the jawbones for everyday wear.....so therefore, I must hate them.

I bought a pair of Bolle Vortex after seeing them voted #1 for cyclists by Outsider magazine. It was a toss-up between those and the Oakleys, but I've always been happy with Bolle ski goggles so I thought I'd give their shades a try. I got he rose-colored photochromic lenses with reflective coating for $150. I've used them at all times of the day and even though they're not as dark as I'd usually buy I've had no issues with glare. They're also great in the shade on those early morning rides for picking out all the crap on our local roads.

Have you tried Rain-X on your lenses ?

a small bottle is less than $2 and will last you for YEARS.

I won't put Rain-X on Oakleys, as the lenses are not glass. Besides, it'll ruin the coatings on the lenses.

When I first started riding I was wearing my trusty old Ray Ban Wayfarers. They wouldn't stay in place on my face, so riding with them was annoying. I tried upgrading with a pair of Bolle DIPs and a different pair of Smith Optics Axis glasses. They were not good for a variety of reasons. The Bolle's fit poorly and the Smith Optics had light leaking in from every direction.

So I got a pair of Oakley Radar Paths, and I've been happily using them for 18 months. I got a pair of vented replacement lenses which I use in cooler weather, but from April-October I use the unvented Red Iridium lenses:

I can fog even Oakleys to the point that it's unusable on a hard hill climb - within 15 minutes. If you're going really hard with high humidity, you're screwed no matter what you wear.

This is golden for me. What do you do? Just rub some on the lenses and wipe it clear?

I have these Tifosi Logic's, but with the smoke- red glare guard lens. Worked great so far, fog up a bit when I stop, clear up right away when I move.. $60

I have no idea what Oakley uses for their coatings, but it hasn't damaged the the coating on my prescription RayBans, and those lenses aren't glass, either.

This is a trick used by divers and swimmers for goggles & masks. While it works, it creates some really annoying vision distortion - to the point that I find it useless. I've tried it myself - unless you make a homeogeneous thin layer, it's really annoying.

It depends on the RayBans. I have two pairs of RayBan Aviators, and the lenses are glass.

Thanks. I'll skip it too, then. Fogging glasses at red lights on the 10 cold days we have per year is better than blurry vision the rest of the time.

that works well, sierra tradingpost always has some cheap sunglasses. https://www.sierratradingpost.com/Pro...&cdf=TopSeller

sounds funny but spit works.

Rain-X does add glare and bloom to lights and oncoming headlights at dusk/low light. Well discussed side effect on the auto forums.

My Oakley's have yet to have fog problems but I wipe them with the oakley provided anti fog rag every couple days.

I have some polarized Oakley Radar Paths and they've been awesome. Sweat runs off the lenses and i haven't had any issues with fogging. A bit expensive but i think their worth it.

I wouldn't risk wearing glass lenses on a bike, just in case I have an accident. I don't want to be blind, in addition to getting all busted up.
