If you like a half helmet as I do, and if it has snaps, buy a Universal Flip-up Face Shield with 3 Adjustable Snaps. I bought mine at Jafrum for $12... keep it in my saddlebag in a cloth cover and easy to snap in place.. works great.
I always have a set of googles in the saddlebags next to my rain gear. Sunglasses get so fogged as soon as it starts to rain that I might as well be blind.
I'm the one who posted about the swim goggles. They work great. I got mine at Wally World. I use Rainx anti-fog on the inside and they worked awesome. I used them in a down poor. It was raining so hard I could hardly see. I couldn't pull over at the time because I was on the highway. At the next exit I did. However, while on the highway, they worked great. Here is a pic of the ones I have.
I've used Zooke Z-wax in the past for anti-fog purposes - especially riding in cold weather. Works well - not perfect (no fogging, but leaves a slight residue on the glass).
My normal riding sunglasses - way-old Oakley Eye Jackets - ride against my cheekbones, so I've been riding at times where they literally fill up and I'm blinking in the accumulated water. Not good, so some of these ideas may be the ticket - especially the swimming goggles. Hmmmm.

Zooke Z-wax? Nvr heard of it. I will try anything. Where do u get it?
Also, how do u apply it and how long does it stay applies??
WAIT......................I RMEMEBER...........I was at Daytona Destination and there was a booth. Got the spray, vrey small bottle and he gave me the micofiber cloth. $20. Tried it and it did not work Fogges up.
He had a mister (like a humidifier running that fogged up the glasses. Then did a demo. Worked well "in the lab" but not out in real life. Maybe it is due to the cold temp in real life that made it fog up.
Thanks,
