Anti fogging for glasses when hiking up in the clouds?

I wear glasses, and also go hiking a lot.

They fog up really badly when I'm up in clouds. Its not the sort of fine condensation you get from sweat (I also get that but its not too bad) its a coating of relatively big droplets of water from the cloud. Last Sunday up in the Comeraghs when I was up in a cloud I just ended up taking my glasses off cus I could see better without them they were so bad (It was either that or wipe them down every 15 seconds) and my vision without them is terrible (like -4 or 5)
Is there any sort of coating or spray ye would recommend to alleviate this somewhat?

Being brutally honest it's very very hard to keep fog off. Even with the multitude of sprays.

The best you can do is keep the glass clean and as far away from face a you can to allow air flow to clear.

Or

Or laser

Got mine done 15 years ago this month. Very expensive back then (and it looked even more expensive as I paid in this new currency thingy called Euro that made everything even more expensive

), but it was the best money I've ever spent.

Spit on your glasses then wipe them off with a cloth, they don't "steam" up as much.

Sounds like water vapour settling on the glass which cant be helped.... A tiny drop of Fairy liquid on the glass and buffed off will help with the fogging tho. I wonder if a baseball cap / peaked cap would deflect some of the cloud moisture?
