MiDri Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Has any one tried using a facemask like painters/carpenters use to keep their lenses and/or glasses from fogging up? Just the basic cheapo paper ones, any luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Nope not here, i just add one drop of liquid dish soap to 1/4 cup of water, clean the lens one the inside. let dry and then useing the same water i tap my finger quickly in the water, shake off exses and apply to the lens again, and i dry wipe then before the troop. never had issues with foggy lenses.

Good to hear, I'm worried about my glasses too though -- hopefully some people who have glasses will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehickey Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have a MRCE where the lenses are held in with screws. I've found that it is better if the lenses DON'T sit flush against the eye holes, thus leaving a small gap where air can escape. I almost never have a problem with the lenses fogging up. I suppose that if my lenses were hot-glued in all the way around the edges with no where for the air to escape, that they would fog up a lot more.

2155TK[TK] Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 use shampoo diluted in water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE[501st] Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I use shaving creme... just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit... rub it on till it's gone, then buff it off with a tissue. Works for hours! You have to do it before every troop... but it's my tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Correct a little baby shampoo in a cup of water. It's what divers use, and is way cheaper than the anti-fog stuff that doesn't work real well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batbob71 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I use Rain-X on both the inside & outside of the lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooperman Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Michael , i hope this all helps , perhaps all these suggestions could be put to the test now theres an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK4869[501st] Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I used to use shaving foam but now I use wet wipes, the secret is the glycerene. Trooped a full morning before re wiping at the lids of lunch break, then good to go for the rest of the afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Where was this thread last week when I was looking for anti-fog stuff <_< I was only able to wear my glasses under my FX helmet and that thing was so big there was plenty of room for the air to circulate and I never had a problem with the lenses fogging up.

TK6294 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Be a hero in your troop and order a box of these anti-fog cleaning towlets. I just put a box in my armor bin and now offer them up to my squad mates at every troop... They work very well. -------- Edited February 2, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougefresh Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Tried this last troop... AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I did the same thing on Halloween -- baby wipes and a single fan; no problems whatsoever. My buddy didn't have a fan, and just used the wipes, had no problems either. I'm gonna carry a box in my armor tub from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
