I always seem to fog my glasses especially once the gobbler gets close. What are some tips that you guys have figured out. Not wearing glasses is no longer an option for me and I don't really like camo paint. Has anyone found a brand that works better than most.

The guys I hunt with who wear glasses just keep their masks below their noses.

This is what I use.  I had a buddy that wears glasses and he had the same problem of his glasses fogging.  I gave him one of mine and this is all he uses now.  Vents and conceals well.

I'm running into the same issue, been trying to modify a couple masks a year trying to make them work with no luck.  I think this year I'm just going to use face paint and roll with it.

I don't wear a face mask or face paint. Just keep your face low on the gun.

I used to have fogging problems alot of the time. I finally settled on inhaling through my nose and exhaling downwardly with my mouth. By inhaling deeply through your nose, you bring fresh air past your glasses, clearing them up in a few breaths. Exhaling downwardly pushes the humid air of your breath out the bottom of your mask. Solved my fogging problem.

Cheers  ;D

Back when I got started in turkey hunting, there were no masks available.  You kind of had to improvise.  Most guys used face paint.  I wear glasses, and anything that I tried made my glasses fog.

The method I adopted back around '84 and have kept to this day is kind of a veil.  I take a camo boonie hat with the tabs going around.  I tie on a piece of camo mesh to either temple.  When I'm out walking, the mesh is back over my neck as a sunshade.  When I'm sitting, I keep it piled up on top.  When a gob starts coming in, I just have to tip my head down and the mesh falls over my face like a veil.  If I have the time, I pull on the veil so the front clears the brim and I have just enough clearance to see over the top  of the veil.

There are bonuses to this arrangement.  The veil hides me well enough that I can reach up and change mouth calls without being seen.  The veil is far enough away from my glasses that they don't fog.

The First Lite Phantom 3D balaclava has worked really well for me. Its an all-mesh leafy cover that goes over your hat.

I've never found one that works pulling it all the way up. Up to the bottom of the nose is as far as I can go. I don't mind face paint so that's what I use 99% of the time. Just less I have to worry about.
