Thanks Bill.

The goggles being a tight fit to the glasses isn't too surprising. One pair of chemical splash goggles I have require putting the glasses in the goggles first then putting the entire thing on. (Otherwise it will push the glasses back to an uncomfortable position.)

When I get fogging, it's very often the glasses fogging first. It might just be a trait of goggles over glasses. I wonder if some kind of forced ventilation might address it? Something like a small cell-phone vibrator motor and button cell battery, perhaps?

I've mostly eliminated the fogging problem by switching to a Trend Airshield Pro. It's got its own drawbacks (weight, comfort) but at least I'm not running in to a safety issue with glasses fogging up halfway through a cut.

Your only recourse would be to get lens with an anti fog coating for your glasses. Can't comment on the effectiveness of such a coating as I've never chosen that option when ordering my eye glasses.

As I mentioned to Bill, you can get an anti fog coating for eyeglasses. ~ Something you might consider the next time you get a prescription filled.

IIRC, my dad used to apply something to his glasses that was intended to prevent fogging. If such a product is available it shouldn't be too hard to track down these days.

Thanks, I may give it a try sometime.

On these hot days, it's difficult enough keeping your whistle wet, much less having extra spit to wet your goggles. You might assist your tongue, with some beers, for producing a sufficient amount of spit.
