how do I keep my safety glasses from fogging up when I'm working hard outside in cold weather?

Some glasses use more ventilation than others. Just try a different style and see how it goes. I have been buyin mine by the dozen from this place:

They have many many styles to choose from and by far stock a wider variety of saftey glasses that I have seen, and cheap prices. When I searched for anti-fog I got 33 results. Link:

Ok, that link won't work for yu but you get the idea.

Rubbing them with bar soap and wiping them with a dry cloth will help some.

Glasses, or goggles? By goggles, I mean the type with not just front lenses, but also a wraparound that goes straight back, creating a closed container within the goggles.

try the scuba-divers trick. a bit of spit on the inside, rub it round with your finger and give it a quick swill out under the tap. then wear! costs exactly as much as i like to pay!

Two steps:

  1. Use glasses that vent well. Remember, base your type of glasses on the work you are doing. If you have to use low-vented models, like splash proof, then do what is required and clean them often with step #2.

  1. Clean the glasses with an anti fog cleaner. I've heard good stories about Rain-X's anti fog, from people who work in very humid conditions. However, allways follow manufactures instructions.

Stop working hard.

Seriously, if you find a good answer, I'd like to hear it.

Until then, keep your nose UNCOVERED if possible. I have found that, with a scarf over my mouth AND nose, my exhaled breath is captured and directed upward toward my safety glasses and fogs them badly.

I may look into the Rain-X suggestion. It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, it has on PLASTIC lenses.

What kind of work are you talking about?

I agree with the anti-fog approach. When diving, for an anti-fog when you don't have anti-fog, we spit on our masks and rub the glass with the spit. Seems to work just as well as the anti-fog, albeit a little messy.

a search on ebay.com for safety glasses anti-fog or safety goggles anti-fog should result in plenty of hits for glasses that have anti-fog lenses or safety goggles that have anti-fog vent holes you might be able to find some locally also
