Anti Fogging Spray

Fetch

Does anyone know if there is a shop in Dublin city centre (preferably near the IFSC) that stock cycle helmet visor spray or some other kind of anti fogging product (swimming goggle spray or whatever)?

Im sick of skirmishing through the 'fog of war' and I would prefer to buy it locally than pay and wait for shipping

I sure a very small drop fairy liquid( As much as a match head ) on some kitchen towel will do the trick for you !!

Edit : sorry forgot to say fairy liquid

Its hard to beat the thermal lense.

Any inventor out there. take the thermal paintball lense and fit it to your airsoft mask. Replacement lense are €25ish.

A small drop of what?

Arcto

Not sure if this only works with glass but: Every 2-3 months make sure your lenses are COMPLETLY dry and smear touthpaste all over them. Rinse off. Before use simply spit on them and rub of with tissue. Works for me diving mask perfectly....again not sure if this only works with glass or not.

If not, use fairly liquid or, for all you clone users, Tesco Washing Up Liquid.

I think he means washing up liquid? It works some times.

Thing is with that and with the spray is that you have to keep applying it.

Keep us posted on that if you don't mind Fallschirmjager. The alternative for me is ESS goggles, which are incredibly good, but stupidly expensive.

I've ESS profile goggles they fog like any other, do you mean the active ones with fans?

The toothpaste option may not be a smart move on plastic/PC lenses. Tooth paste is abrasive and could scratch the lens. Diving masks are glass.

Fallschirmjager

will do...

edit: actally i did find some pages where people used the small laptop fans and a 9v battery...now in the name of jeasus you attach that is still a bit of a mystery..


edit 2: Rew i think lemming is talking about the fan assisted ones, they are around 150 dollars..

Aye, the stupidly expensive ones, as opposed to just the expensive ones

I had supplier for a while who was back and forth from tours in Iraq think I paid 20 or 30 quid for my ESS Profiles. I got a shed load of stuff off him including wiley-x goggles/sunglasses for a fraction of the retail prices.

They have loads of vents but just dosnt matter the fot after a little while. Must try some of the various antifog products. Evere see some of the pics on the ESS site of guys who got shrapnel in the face whiel weraing them? Bits of metal embedded in the lens!
