what lights

what lights

The ones that they stopped at when their glasses steamed up!!

2 cyclists who stop at traffic lights!!!!

Obviously all those saying theirs don't steam up are RLJ'ers

Spitting in diving masks can work depending on temp of water,I always do my pool goggles this way but th pool is warm ,I have used a product in the past called cat crap on riding specs but please google and read reviews before putting it on your Sunday best specs,it does work but can damage surface of glass if the glass is not totally grit free

Just push the glasses away from your face a little and they will soon clear when you get moving.

That's when mine steam up, stopped at lights.

Another reason NOT to stop at red lights :joking!

For me it's hot breath coming out of my mouth/nose that causes my glasses to steam-up. It's pretty hard to move your glasses away from your face at lights to prevent them steaming-up as they'd have to be out of range of hot breath. Short of taking them off (not advisable if you use them to see!) I don't see how it can be done.

Currently I just try and minimise my exhalation, or try and exhale away from my glasses as much as I can. I must look like I'm doing a Popeye impression at the lights!

I've recently bought a buff, so I do wonder whether using it like a scarf/face-mask might help matters...

The buff makes it worse when stationary at lights. I do shallow breathing which is nigh on impossible after a bleedin Strava segment

I find it marginally less of a problem if I look downwards while stopped

Cleaned my glasses with a smear of washing up liquid last night, rinsed off and left to dry. Still misted up this morning when I stopped at lights. If you are generating enough heat whilst it is cold and damp I don't think anything will stop you misting up. Oh well, worth a try!

 

[Globalti]

That didn't work because you degreased the lenses and left them cleaner than ever, which allows the moisture to accumulate easily on the cold lenses. The idea is to smear a little dishwash liquid on them and leave it to dry, this absorbs the moisture and becomes gel-like rather than allowing it to condense in droplets. Waste of time in my experience because the dishwash makes your vision blurry.

...and when it rains you can blow bubbles!

How about using some sort of pipe or snorkel so you exhale above the level of your specs
