Default stopping the fogged up glasses in rain

This has to have been asked and answered before, but tried the search feature, and no luck there.


Here goes: Is there anything that actually works to allow those that wear glasses to see in the rain? I'll snap on a shield for my 3/4 helmet, but my glasses fog up immediately when it's fairly warm and raining. Ride with a windshield too.


Don't want to miss a 150 mile run down to middle GA late this week, but looks like real wet weather.
Thanks

I rinse mine in spit , just like a scuba mask. Maybe someone can explain why it works.

Aviator goggles designed to be worn over glasses work for me. Glasses that are immaculately clean (alcohol or spit) really help. The condensation builds up on dust particles, not slick glass.

I have a 3/4 helmet with a face shield and I wear glasses but I've never had them fog up. I've had my face shield fig up some but as soon as I get moving, it goes away.

I'm sure there's some spray or something to keep them from fogging up.

Cat crap, or use turtle wax. I've had good luck with both.

Only thing that works to prevent fogging of your glasses is ventilation, plenty of it.
