Cold Weather Gear – Anti-Fog Eyepro

Cold Weather Eyepro - Anti-Fog Solutions - TheArmsGuide.com

January 24, 2017 by Kevin 6 Comments

With the incredible cold snap blowing through the Midwest (where I live) and the Northeast, I thought it would be good time to talk about cold weather shooting gear, namely eyepro. An issue with eyepro, unique to cold weather use, is lens fogging. For those of you undeterred by the cold, here are a couple of easy tips for fog-free eyepro.

1. Revision Anti-Fog cloths

Fog-protect your usual eyepro with anti-fog wipes. One foil packet contains three, reusable cloths. Give your [clean] lenses a wipe down with one of these to help resist eyepro fog. Each cloth lasts for about 25 applications.

2. Rain-X Cleaner/Protector

Good ol’ windshield rain repellent is a cheap anti-fog solution. Spray a little on your eyepro to make the lenses hydrophobic. The fog of your breath will bead up and drip off, same as on your car windshield.

3. Ski goggles

The benefits are two-fold here. Many ski goggles are spacious enough to wear prescription eyewear, or standard shooting eyepro, underneath. The polycarbonate lenses also offer an additional layer of protection (I’ll leave it up to you to determine if your preferred brand has sufficient impact resistance to wear as cold weather eyepro on their own). Ski goggles often are vented to prevent fogging, and, bonus: because they cover more of your face, so they additionally protect against the cold and wind, making cold weather shooting more comfortable.

What cold weather shooting eyepro solutions do you use?

    A “field expedient” is to spit on the lenses. Saliva prevent the formation of condensation. It doesn’t work every time, and it doesn’t last very long though. Obviously you neither have a very clear image. 
    Keeping the glasses as distant from the face as possible, allowing air to circulate between the lenses and the face, also helps.

    Let me ask you one thing: do remember that gloves you show even in a Snapshot? The top looks like a hightech material. And the bottom, leather. This gloves give a good grip?

    Cat crap works pretty well. Only issue is that it works best if you let it sit overnight before wiping it off.
