anonymouscuban Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I need something to prevent my shooting glasses from fogging up. They have anti glare and anti reflective coating. I've read that regular anti fog spray will cause these coating to peel or wear off. Any recommendations?

nhyrum Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I've used this stuff called fog doc on my paintball lenses, which usually have some of those coatings on them too. I bought my stuff like 10 years ago, so who knows if they're still around Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Try this. I used to shoot NRA highpower. You would sit in the sun with a 9 pound shooting jacket and really heat up, fogging your glasses.This works 100%. Get yourself a bar of Ivory soap. Plain old white bar Ivory soap. Rub the soap DRY over the surface of your glasses, front and back. Wipe off the soap with a tissue. It'll last all day. The glycerin in the soap repels the moisture. Works great, cheap. Keep a bar in your range bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverscooby27 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hunters HD Gold sends with each pair of glasses some stuff called Z Clear you can use. I’d recommend cleaning the glasses first with a disposable glasses cleaning cloth (that you can also use to clean red dots). You can find them on amazon or even just at target in the health section for eyeglass/contact lenses stuff. Then use the Z Clear as directed, you should use a microfiber cloth to take off the excess Z clear. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017L3UDYQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZBCYGSM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MO0MUUC/ref=dp_prsubs_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscuban Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks fellas. I was eyeballing that z clear stuff. Gonna try the ivory soap since I have some. Will order the z clear too. See what works best and is most convenient to use.Sent from my SM-G930U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower40 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 If the Ivory soap floats...you have the right stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Will that keep your glasses from fogging from mask exhalations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronemus Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Toothpaste will also work as an anti-fog - just rub it on to a thin film, let dry, then wipe off. This works on my dive mask where none of the commercial anti-fogs I tried would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works on my dive mask where none of the commercial anti-fogs I tried would.Really bad idea to do this. Toothpaste is a fine abrasive (which is how it cleans your teeth). Putting this on an optical surface will create marring and fine scratches. The science behind a lot of these solutions is that they reduce surface tension, creating a layer of water instead of drops of water which cause diffraction of light. Anything that leaves a film of detergent will ideally do this, but many will also inadvertently negatively effect the resolving ability of the optics.

Stephen7942 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I use the zeiss wipes and they work good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I second the Zeiss packaged wipes. Convenient, you can add wipes to every shooting bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscuban Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hey all. Just a follow up to my original question. I ended up buying some Z Clear as some suggested. I've shot several matches, lots of dry and live fire since and it's working great. Thank you everyone for the help.Sent from my SM-G930U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
