There are a few different sunglass manufactures that make glasses with
interchangeable lenses for different light conditions. I use Smith
sunglasses with four different lenses, check em out.

You can get safety glasses from industrial safety shops.

They're very cheap (start from £3.00) and come in different lense
colours. They tend to be wraparound design so they stay on well.

I too wear Smiths; One of the reasons I chose them was for their
interchangeable lenses feature. Another because they look cool! Check
them out: www.smithsport.com
I wear the "District" Deja-Blue model:

hmm.. attachment didn't work. I'll try again.

Anyway, I need to buy some anti-fog to put on my lenses. The weather's
starting to get cold, and with the heat my body produces when muniing,
if i'm standing still for more than five seconds, they start fogging up.
Does anyone know of a "make-it-yourself" home remedy for anti-fog? I
heard the stuff in the stores is quite expensive.

Thanks,

--Dale

Oddly enough tobaco can be used as an anti-fog home remedy. When I was a
boy we had a small bag of it we used to rub on the front windsheild of
our auto. Back then there wasn't any Rain-X like products. The downside
to using it on a pair of sun glasses is that it will likey stink. Of
course a bottle of Rain-X is probably a LOT cheaper than a pack of
cigerettes.


Cheers,
Jason

Toothpaste works well as an antifog agent. Just be sure to use some that
is not abrasive. Smear some on the lenses and then rinse them off

Any mild detergent, very sparingly applied, should do. Try e.g. liquid
dishwashing soap. What it does is lower the surface tension so that
water does not condense in tiny droplets but in a smooth layer.

I wouldn't use Rain-X for anti-fog, if you have very small droplets even
the wipers won't remove them when you have Rain-X on. Note: I like it
on my car, but *-not-* when it's misty or foggy.

Or you could go to any underwater dive shop and get some fancy
commercial anti-fog for dive masks, which is, Ta-Da, diluted
detergent. Just make sure you follow the directions or you can
end-up foaming at the mouth or blowing bubbles with your nose.

Seriously, dilute some liquid dish washing detergent, apply sparingly,
dry, making sure that you don't dry -to- well, you want to leave a
*thin* film of detergent. That's what many divers do, except the ones
that have to much money.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all of the advice. Yesterday I tried the dishwashing soap
trick. It worked pretty good. I got through about 2/3 of the ride
(complete ride was three hours) wearing my sunglasses. By that time I
was giving off a lot of heat. The lenses didn't fog, they just got
blurry. Last time I was only 20 minutes into my ride before they
started fogging up!
