Whenever I go hiking in the winter especially if I have to wear a balaclava I can’t see shit from my glasses (foggy).

What do you do? Not to mention if it’s cold and windy enough they end up completely icing over.

I usually wear goggles with balaclavas and have no problems with fogging

Do you mean you put the goggles on top of your glasses?

Yes. My ski goggles fit perfectly over my glasses when I wear them instead of contacts.

Wear contacts. Is this... is this a trick question?

What ski goggles do you have?

>>2515527
I don’t have contacts and also it seems dangerous.. especially if you’re in a very cold situation and something happens to get into your eye etc

The brand is "Eyeguard". I bought them on Amazon a few years ago and they've worked great whenever I've used them.

I use one thin merino buff and a loose merino balaclava. They are both so thin that they don't fog up my glasses most of the time. It's not an issue because the only time I have to pull both over my nose the wind is so strong that there is no fogging up.
If there is strong wind I use a fleece windstopper neck thing that has a hole in the middle for breathing.

Doesn't work so well in winter or mountain environments. When you are at camp its fine enough but if it falls out or gets stuck you gotta take your gloves off, exposing your skin to the cold air and/or potentially using your dirty glove to adjust your contact.

Contacts don't just randomly fall out lmao. The only thing that can really go wrong with them is getting an eyelash or a particle stuck underneath, forcing you to take one out and rinse it. This has only happened to me in dry dusty environments, never in the cold. Most people use a mirror to put contacts in but it can be done without it if you are careful

I've heard that rubbing shaving cream on your glasses can prevent fogging. Haven't tried it yet. I've been thinking about making a plastic or wood "nose clip" to sew into the balaclava to make it pinch around the nose. I think that would cut down massively on the fogging problem.

Literally nothing stops fogging.
Surgeon cunts swear my washing glasses with soap before they go into "theatre" (should be doing that anyway) and this lasts for a while.

Lies. Nothing stops fogging (except increasing the micro climate temp, as greater contrast between breath temp and micro climate makes fogging happen faster).
