    goggles and fogtech or just use mesh goggles, assuming you're talking about prescription lenses.

    I've given up on trying to find a way around fogging up. I've just gone for a mesh pair. The issue I was having outside of the mask was that my actual own glasses were fogging more, even with antifog spray.

    What I have done and it helps a lot is to try and equip myself to keep sweating down as much as possible. 70 percent of your heat is lost through your head and as you are probably wearing glasses, a hat, a shemagh maybe and a mask, it gets trapped.

    So I wear 2 thin layers on my upper body.and a loose fitting cap. It.hfss reduced fogging considerably. Also a mask that has space for your glasses to fit without any pressure on the face is a big help too.

    Basically glasses equals fog of war.

    Fogtech is great on your glasses when used with mesh goggles, but if you're like me and sweat buckets your glasses will still wind up getting obscured with condensation no matter what...

    The best solution? Contact lenses....

    I'm a fellow airsofter who wears glasses and I only wear a full face mask with mesh ( quiet fond of my teeth ). I've never had any issues with fogging.I've drilled a few extra holes on the lower part which I think helps with ventillation and it keeps my glasses clear.:cool:

    get contacts and a pair of bolle shooting glasses and a meshnose and moth guard no fogging , contacts are the way to go, glasses i find dont give me good peripheral vision and i have disposable contacts which the only other time i wear them if im going out on the p!$$.Glasses i think are a nono for airsoft especially if you have to pay a couple of hundred notes to get them replaced.

    Looks like I'm the only person who has been trudging skirmish fields for years with just goggles on over glasses and seen no trouble...

    I have a full face mask and it fogs up.

    I'm thinking of swapping to Mesh goggles and trying them as I have mouth protection I just need something for my eyes.

    Was actually thinking of getting the mesh goggles and making them detachable to my own glasses so they could just be slipped on and off over my lenses.

    Fairyliquid.....
    Just rub a bit on both sides of each lense and wipe them clean again and that should work perfectly for a couple of games.
    Works for me when I forget my contacts!!
