running sunglasses?

oprah Feb 2019 4:23pm, 24 Feb 2019 240 posts	0 oprah Anyone have any recommendations for running sunglasses? A relative bought me Oakleys for Christmas a while ago that were great, but they finally started to fog too much to be useful. I got a pair of Sunwise Petite Thirst, which fit my petite frame perfectly but also fogged up as soon as I put them on at home and by half a mile in I couldn't see anything - on a 4C day! Total waste of money! I don't want to spend hundreds, but I want a pair that are light, won't fog up and will last a few years, so am willing to spend if they're decent. Most of the places I've looked offer cycling/running sunglasses - I want something running specific for the anti-fog properties. Thanks! (I didn't see a recent thread on this topic - apologies if this is a duplicate.)

However, foggy lenses generally, whether shades, normal glasses or indeed crash helmet visors, can benefit from using an anti-fogging product. I use Fogtech on my visors (at least, on the non-double glazed ones) and it's quite effective. Made in the US but should be widely available. In fact, here tis: amazon.co.uk Old Wives tell tales of rubbing lenses with the inside of potato peelings to be equally effective but I've never tried it.

Can report they have not fogged up ever when running/cycling/hiking in even superhot temperatures - they stay in place too. Picked mine up for around £25 on ebay

Didn’t want to spend a lot in case they got dropped, scratched or lost. In certain conditions they fog a little bit if eg if it’s cold and I am warm. Bit moving them from my face very slightly it fixes that.
