Any suggestions to keep shooting glasses from fogging? I live in Florida, and during these steamy summer months, I can usually only make it 2-3 shots, before I can barely see out of the glasses. Are ther any sprays that you've tried with good results?

In Florida the scuba shops are full off sprays for swim masks.. same thing.
Light dish soap also works.

Here is the answer. Pack a bar of Ivory soap in your range bag. Rub the "dry" soap over your entire lens. Wipe the lens off with a tissue. The glycerin in the soap prevents moisture to form on the molecular level. It works great!

Parker's Perfect lens cleaning solution. I use it to clean glasses, binocs, scopes, etc. It leaves a fog-proof transparent film on the surface and it has been a good cleaner for me.

If you're wanting a spray bottle, try a camera shop that sells SLRs. They all sell lens cleaners that are anti fogging. My 1 oz. bottle has lasted for years.

This stuff works well too. http://www.crizal.com/EN/Pages/default.aspx

I have no trouble until I put my ear muffs on. Then I don't breath right through my hollow head! 8-)

Trace-thin film of soap, buffed with a soft cloth.

I scuba dive and all those concoctions work somewhat, but so does spit. It is cheap and easy to find.

One note. Some of these chemicals can ruin certain lens material. I use the stuff sold at local hockey rink. It works well. Have found it to only turn the cheap walmart Winchester branded yellow glasses for ever fogged!

"cat ****" does work but I am not sure it is any better than the scuba mask spray that I tried. Please note, this is cat **** sold as lens treatment not what comes out of a meow

ok, got bit by politically correct editor......scatalogical term staring in "C" and ending in "P"

Leadfreak, up here where I live the eyeglass-fogging problem is a common problem for eyeglass wearers because of cold, damp weather. We have lots of ski areas where the ski shops sell the branded stuff that OuchHot refers to--Cat(excrement). At least for the cold weather problem, this stuff works really well, rubbed on eyeglasses and binocular lenses before going out on cold and/or cold, drizzly days. It lasts quite a while after applied, too--a day or two at least before needing more. It comes in a little can and looks like solidified vasoline. The cans are about the size of a percussion-cap tin.

As I say in the vernacular, when there's no politically correct editors present during polite conversation with my buddies, "**** political correctness! As my cats would say: RRRRMeowRRR!!!!

Thanks. I've seen that stuff somewhere, maybe I'll start at Gander Mtn.
