Bins that don't get steamy

I've always bought cheap when it comes to cycling glasses (well about £30) as I don't fancy the thought of £100 Oakleys sailing off my head if I have a get off. They are great when I'm speeding on the flat or descending but as soon as I'm at a traffic light or ascending they immediately steam up.

I've tried treating them with anti-fog but that didn't help, so I'm wondering should I go more expensive or have I just picked bad designs, if so any pointers on cheapies that don't fog.

    It's always a problem with glasses whatever the price. Hot sweaty head on the inside cooler air on the outside result condensation. Some are better than others. I've had £80 Bohle that steamed up and I ride £20 BBB navigators that aren't too bad.

    You can buy a pot of something that resembles coagulated washing up liquid that you can rub on the inside of glasses which help with the steaming. I can't remember the name of it thought - sorry.

    Or, you could try using washing up liquid :wink:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.
