I use a demister which helps a fair bit; http://www.wiggle.com/muc-off-eyewear-and-goggle-anti-fog-treatment/

I recently got a pair of salice. They have a vent hole on the top which does a great job. Very impressed so far and not in the Oakley price bracket

I find they only seem to steam up while going slow or at a standstill, as soon as you get a bit of a breeze over them they clear up, Best thing to do is to keep them spotless with an alcohol wipe, same goes for the car windscreen, still mists up, but doesn't take half as long to clear

I just pull them away a bit from my face until it clears. I only notice it at traffic lights in certain conditions.

Smear them with spit....

That will help prevent them steaming up

Yuck! I see lads doing that on club rides - licking their lenses- turns my stomach (especially considering the crap that's being thrown up at them from other's wheels).

Which ones exactly? 012 model is it? Been looking at them just today as I'm mad for a wraparound style that the Jawbreaker style offer...

I use rain-X stuff that I have for car windscreen, works a treat and water beads off the front too very quickly.

Stop looking at sexy people in a comical reality...

Failing that, washing up liquid works well for me.

Yep, the 012 from probikekit.co.uk

I've seen people swear by various brands and designs, Oakleys with vents tend to get praised a lot. Unfortunately my neanderthal eyebrow ridges have yet to meet their match, they've overcome every pair of sunglasses I've thrown at them, including vented Oakleys Radar's. I've resigned myself to the fact that the "right" sunglasses just don't exist for my stupid head.

Of the various ones I've tried, the ones that have proved least prone to getting fogged up are Rudy Project Rydon photochromic lenses. I like them a lot, they still sometimes get horribly steamed up in certain conditions (high humidity combined with me heating up and stopping for more than 30 seconds) but the rest of the time they're great.

I tried an anti-fog spray too without success. For me it's probably the best route to a real solution, I just need to persist until I find the product that works. Washing up liquid might be that right product but I've not tried it as I assume it'll leave smears on the lenses and I'm a but OCD when it comes to keeping my lenses clear - stupid eyes!

A tiny spot of washing up liquid, rub it into the glass in circular motions until the glasses are clear again.

I use Astonish on my glasses (Cycling & daily glasses).

Its a white paste that you lightly rub in, & then clean off & polish with a clean cloth. I use a small amount on my specs. Usually have to apply it once a month on average.

Works wonders on bathroom mirrors too.

This works. Scuba divers always smear their facemasks with spit before a dive, to keep them from fogging up. Just spit on them (or on hand) and rub it in, no need to lick them.

Though i will admit I always did this before going on a dive, i have never done it to my shades before a spin.

Buy a cheap can of shaving foam (not gel), clean the glasses with windows clean and use another cloth to apply shaving cream to both sides. Sorted.
