Hey
I have had a few different specs over the last three years Shimano, Northwave and Bolle. I seem to have a great ability to fog them up quite quickly and having to stuff them in my pocket. Whats good out there so the glasses will spend more time on my face rather than my back pocket?
Sunnies that don't fog up?

Put some dish washing liquid on them and let them dry naturally. Read about it from UK cyclist blogs once...Has not failed me yet.

Vented oakleys, still fog up when stopped but when starting it vanishes quite quickly

Just pull the glasses down to the end of your nose when stopped that minimise any fogging and once you have started again push them back up. Works for me as I have to wear glasses while riding. You find once you start moving again they clear up. Unless they are to close to your face

Another vote for vented Oakleys. They also have a type of anti-fog stick which I tried but can't really say that it worked. Perhaps because I clean the lenses a lot. The sunnies with vents are good but they can fog when you stop at lights and the conditions are right, as rjk suggest, put them down to the nose and when you start up they clear really fast.

I notice this problem more for my jawbones as the frame sits closer to my face and has less ventilation.
I find my radar XLs dont fog up as quickly, i guess cos its more open having less of a frame sitting on your face.

I have a pair of uvex sportstyle 202s that I got because I wanted glasses with no frame across the top and the auto darkening means I don't have to worry about changing lenses. They have a non-fog treatment and haven't fogged up at all in the 2 months I've had them. You can also get specific treatments from auto shops from Rain X, but the dishwashing liquid is ultra cheap and you will already have it around the house.

Happy with my Radarlocks in this sense. They can fit a little when you stop but once you're off and moving again it's clears up almost instantly.
