Facemask with Glasses
« on: March 13, 2023, 06:52:35 PM »
Anybody found a sure fire way or technique they use for face masks with glasses without fogging the glasses up. I haven’t committed to facepaint quite yet and I like a gaiter neck type facemask and no matter what I spray on my glasses, they always fog.

I have tried every spray imaginable and mine still fog up.  I have tried different facemasks and the Mossy Oak Tibbee Flex Mesh mask is what I use now.  It will still occasionally fog but with no fog spray on my glasses, it does pretty well.  The only absolutely fog free time I have ever had is with face paint.

I think I’ve posted about this before. I cut a hole in my mesh mask 1 so I can switch out diaphragms and 2 to allow more air flow out of the mask. Between that and keeping the mask on the bridge of my nose to where there’s a little space between the mask and glasses I can mitigate the fogging pretty well. Nothing works 100%  it I’m near sighted and have to wear them if I want to shoot much past 10 yards

I put cat crap pretty heavy on everything optic related.
Over time it works better & better. I build up first with
the paste, then always follow up with the spray. Spraying
often & I usually carry a little bottle in my stuff at all time.
Works great on trail cams too. Inside & out.

Good stuff, though I have not tried the paste.

I just ordered a spray made by zeiss on Amazon.  It was about 7$ ,  small enough to fit in your vest,  and has pretty good reviews.  I will report back in a few weeks.????

The paste is more effective then the spray.
Used together is a good combo. Try some.

I’m a longtime user of “Parker’s Perfect” glass cleaner/anti fog spray. Works well for me.
I do keep a small bottle w a paper towel in my shirt pocket for occasional reapplication.

I’ve used the paste with alil success. Never used both together so that’ll be my next approach. I was trying to prevent cutting a hole in my facemask but that’s probably going to be the ticket.

Pull the mask down just under the nose - nothing goes up that chimney to your glasses that way - only thing really exposed is nose - wipe it with a bit of paint or mud or with your head on the gun he will never see it- I fight it as well!!

The only thing that comes close to working somewhat is a stiff wire across your nose and cheeks.  And to physically cut a hole where your mouth is.

Move your glasses away from your face a touch. It allows more air to circulate between your glasses and face helping to remove the condensation.
