MiDri Posted October 12, 2009 Report 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
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted October 12, 2009 Report 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

bluehickey Posted October 12, 2009 Report 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. Quote
2155TK[TK] Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 use shampoo diluted in water! Quote
FIVE[501st] Posted October 12, 2009 Report 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
SuperTrooper Posted October 12, 2009 Report 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
Batbob71 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 I use Rain-X on both the inside & outside of the lens. Quote
Trooperman Posted October 13, 2009 Report 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
TK4869[501st] Posted October 13, 2009 Report 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
Murray1134[501st] Posted October 13, 2009 Report 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 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
FIVE[501st] Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 ... but now I use wet wipes, the secret is the glycerene. Tried this last troop... AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Quote
dougefresh Posted November 9, 2009 Report 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
TD-2272 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 I use fogtec it can be found at paintball shops or do a google search for it Quote
