There are sprays you can buy online to stop them misting up, might be worth trying? I wouldn't be able to see my feet if I wasn't wearing glasses...

FurryHamster Nov 2015 9:01pm, 8 Nov 2015 1,270 posts	0 FurryHamster Been wearing glasses for 28 years. Never had them fog up while out and about or doing outside activities. Only happens when going into so where warm on a cold day. I got contact lenses for riding motorbikes in the winter. I do have antireflective coatings on my glasses due to astigmatism so this could be the reason. Also always were a peaked hat when raining to keep the rain off as this has always been my major annoyance when running.
GimmeMedals Nov 2015 9:16pm, 8 Nov 2015 13,677 posts	0 GimmeMedals I've recently started wearing glasses when running and when it's warm , they only steam up when I stop, but in the cold they steam up a bit when I get hot. It's a bit irritating and makes it difficult to see.
Columba Nov 2015 11:01pm, 8 Nov 2015 8,233 posts	0 Columba Normally mine only steam up when I've been running and stop. And they clear fairly quickly because of the coating. Fleecy, I'm amazed you do Hellrunner races with glasses on. Are you not afraid of losing them in the Bog of Doom and being unable to find them again?

NellyMarcos Nov 2015 6:16am, 9 Nov 2015 653 posts	0 NellyMarcos I will look for the spray or try washing up liquid, I have tried three different pairs, all from different places, one pair of varifocals, one distance and one distance sunglasses and they all do the same. Must be my face thats just weird!!
