    Just want to know what people recommend/ use for anti fogging techniques?

    I usually use washing up liquid on my ess OTG goggles.
    some times works well, sometimes doesnt, what do you do??

    There's an anti fogging product called Cat Crap that I've used to great effect in the past. I got it from a friend who found it worked well for him in motocross.
    I'd recommend it.

    Washing up liquid works ok. But if your goggles have no vetilation, you are going to have problems anyway. :)

    I remember when i first started airsoft i heard people saying they used "Cat crap" on their goggles. I thought they were a bit odd at the time ;)

    Yup that's the only stuff to use. I use it on my specs and goggles and don't have any problems. You should be able to get the bottles on eBay or in mia.

    I've used both cat crap and fogtech and I'm sold on fogtech between the two. Don't get me wrong, cat crap is effective, but the downside is having to buff the stuff into your lens, so not practical as a short-notice job. Plus fogtech comes in handy wipes as well as solution for those "in the field" moments.

    Biohazard gave me some stick of like wax at the first take aim cup.

    Its the best thing I've used, supposedly get it in motorcycle stores.

    I'm out tomorrow on the hunt for some anti fog stuff before ops weekend, going to try pick that up, unfortunately don't know the brand

    It was a pink stick, tremendous.

    Went looking yesterday, theres no motorbike store in swords, ****ed up :O

    there is a product used by scuba divers called "500psi" which is really good it's only around 7 or 8 euro a bottle.

    ESS goggles with a fan will do a trick.

    Cheers Bren,

    But I need to find it before 6pm today lols :D

    I think im out adventuring for the day

    Here's a few tips that any diver will give you:
    Simplest way of keeping your mask from fogging is to spit in it and rinse it out.
    Personally i think its disgusting so i use toothpaste. If you rub a small blob of toothpaste on the inside of it when you store it and rinse it out on the day it will not fog.
    Try it out before you rubbish it. :D

    I tried everything to stop fogging in goggles, washing up liquid, toothpaste, spit etc etc.

    Bought a pair of Bolle X800 goggles and they have never fogged up once, I just give them a wash in warm soapy water before a game and they're grand for the whole day once you don't touch the lens:)

    I've been sold on fogtech, i use it on the rental goggles and the only time i've had problems was one really humid evening, but then everyones gogles were fogging, no matter what they were using
