I've did some diving in my life.

If she smelled like Cat Crap, I wouldn't ...

I use dishwashing soap on my fire fighting mask, liquid soap or shampoo should work as well.

When I took diving lessons, the instructor said to spit in the goggles. Just spit a little, doesn't need to be a giant loogie, and rub it in to the lenses. It worked fine for me.

Think I'll give it a try. Reviews seem good. Do you prefer the individual packets or bottle?.

Have you also tried their rain repellent product called Raincoat? Supposedly works well but some say the application can be tricky.

thanks.

I have not tried the rain repellant. I got the bottle of Fog Tech and it comes with a couple of little wipes. I use it on my full face in cold weather - just wipe the inside of the visor and let it dry.

Yea, I'm glad Gary53 brought this subject up. I only wear my FF in the winter and long road trips and almost forgot how aggravating it is when the shield keeps fogging. And it's even worse if you have rain on top of it.

I wanted to try Rainex but found that it wasn't recommended for plastic so it's good to know there are products out there that can eliminate or reduce the fogging.

Think I'll also try that Raincoat stuff for the outside.

I used to just crack open the shield about a 1/4 inch. Seemed to solve the fogging issue, and gave a refreshing bit of air at the same time.

Yeah, I got some at REI. Usually find it in sporting goods joints.

As for alternatives, anybody ever seen a PinLock? Add-on double pane visor. Pretty cool. Might see if I can find me one somewhere...

Spray a small amount of wd 40 on a soft cloth ane wipe the inside of shield. I got confused on the cat crap and tried some dog schidt but it left a terrible smelly film.
