    Sunnys in your lid

    Ok, this may be a daft question but I'm asking it....

    Summer with us, lots of sun strike round my way. I have a pair of sunnys that I can wear with my lid but they steam up real quick in the heat.

    Any ideas for a make / model of sunnys that allow a bit of air flow when worn with a lid.

    Thanks for any and every help with this my lovelies.......

    Can you not buy a product to spray on surfaces to stop them fogging up?

    I use a pair of the $2.00 shop specials, no problems... Slide them down your nose a bit if they fog up. There is stuff called FOG OFF, made for visors (fair dinkum)... try it.

    addidas sunnies with the vents at the top, just broke them the other day, lasted ages they did.

    now im on some $25 POS polarised petrol station sunnies that keep clogging up in the corners.

    oh and they make the world look like an acid trip through my visor too.

    I have some Fish (had to check) sunglasses, about $60 I recall, sorta plastic wraparound frame kinda things. Wear them under my helmet all the time, they've never misted up once, under any conditions.

    But then my helmet does let in a bit of air under the chin piece...

    tinted visors arent rated "shatterproof", altho iv never seen one explode on contact..

    i wear some old dirty dog sunnies with no fogging trouble, or dark safety goggles from wrk, they are comfy as hell. my helmet came with one of those masks tho, get one of those ? stop whinging ?

    WILEY X wont be beaten.

    All their glasses pass nz safety standards,have shatterproof lenses,some pass ballistics standards.

    Some models have a "facial gasket" to protect from any dust and debris getting in,yet don't fog up as bad as any other glasses i've tried.(i've had dirty dogs,and ugly fish)

    They are exspensive,but what price do you put on your eyes???

    Whatever you do don't get polarised sunnies or you'll think you're on acid

    For me I could never go back to sunnies after having a tinted visor. Plus it looks way cooler

    +1 on the glasses.

    I had some - looked to the far right and the 'double' polarization caused parts to 'go black' not what you want at the wrong time.

    Get a tinted visor, you will never regret it, no more pinching form the arms of the glasses either.

    The "Fog City" hyperoptiks insert for your visor is another option too, Max.
    They're light sensitive... go from almost totally clear( slight green tinge) to a dark cobalt blue in bright sun. No probs at night, as well.
    Would solve the fogging and glare problem in one
