BlackIce 1 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Well, I have very poor vision and wear sports goggles when I play. I know that the ultimate solution would be contact lenses. However, I really don't like them. My Itech visor doesn't fog up, however; my sports goggles do. I wear an under armour skull cap which helps with the perspiration. However, the goggles still fog up. I know that after sitting on the bench and going out on the ice the fogging subsides a bit. My question is, what anti-fog products can I put on my sports goggles that actually work? After doing some research I came across two products Fog Tech and Cat Crap. Does anyone else have this problem with sports goggles or glasses when playing hockey? It's funny, the other day a buddy complimented me on a shot that I roofed top corner. I replied, yeah I am playing O.K. but imagine if I could actually see well.

RecLeagueHero 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Before I got contacts I had rec specs as a kid for a short period. There really isn't any anti-fog solution that can prevent fogging for very long. The issue is ventilation, or lack thereof. What I used to do is wear a sweat band and let the googles rest aganist that creating a gap and better air flow. When you stop playing there's still a certain amount of fogging, but it's managable and goes away quickly when you start moving again and return the air flow.

Darkbyte 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 Rubbing a cut piece of potato over the lenses is known to help stop fogging (or at least it works for scuba diving masks)I know that the ultimate solution would be contact lenses. However, I really don't like them.If you dont find anything that works, it may be worth looking at contacts again as the technology is constantly changing. Ive found that ones that dont correct astigmatism are a lot more comfortable that those that do. *Additionally, Im a fan of brands which have a higher water content and are slightly larger than other brands. It can take a few attempts to find a brand/configuration that you like.* I wonder whether Id shoot better if I wore my glasses which correct my mild astigmatism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who see well don't know how lucky they are, especially when it comes to sports. I have really bad astigmatism and that sucks. Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone!

fatwabbit 93 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 ever think of getting sports glasses like the one that Edgar Davids wears? He used to play pro-football (soccer) for Holland and for some top clubs, and always had to wear some Nikes/Oakleys that were pretty sweet. They had vents along the lens to prevent fogging.
