Don't stop.

I have the same issue,but, that's life.

Dab a tiny amount of vaseline onto each lens surface and wipe clear with kitchen roll. End of problem.
Same thing as putting a bit of shampoo or similar onto the bathroom mirror to stop it steaming up.
Trust me it works! (Something to do with surface tension.)

Candle wax, gently rubbed on and then buffed off with tissue also seems to work

Move them a couple of cm away from your eyebrows when you stop.
Push em back up just before setting off again.
Sorted.

Spit.

Spit on before you leave home, wipe off with clean cloth. Job jobbed.

Washing-up liquid polished in!! :shock:

Johnson's no more tears baby shampoo. Works on cycling glasses and have been using it for scuba diving for years. Small bottle will last a lifetime. Use only a tiny amount.

You need some Chinoakleys with the useful air flow holes.......seek the thread
or drill holes into your glasses

No - waste of time. Comes from the same tool box drawer of using a potato.

Visor insert or just buy an Arai.

It does. I rub it in, then just rinse off and leave to dry. Lasts a few weeks !

I always used it on my visors, back in the 2stroke days and it worked a treat! cheap too and have used it on my Oakley M frames for years.

Sorry, should have said, washed in and polished clear!! Not literally polishing in liquid onto a dry lens/visor.

I've never tried this with sunglasses, but this is definitely what we used to do to stop a mask steaming up when I did scuba diving.

The trouble with applying spit/washing up liquid/vaseline etc, is that even if you do polish it out there are still smear marks left on the lenses. This is a BIG problem when you are riding into the low winter sun (please come back Mr Sun).
For me davysee has the right idea, stop 'em fogging up by balancing them on the end of your nose as soon as you stop.

err, try this stuff:

Jeweller's Rouge is excellent for stopping glasses misting up under a motor cycle helmet.

Never happens on my Turbo - maybe a coincidence maybe not!

Is it coincidence that this thread follows the Susannah Reid is looking hot this morning?
