Antifog amber lens?

Recommended Posts

Went shooting Sunday morning and had two problems. Fogging of lens and difficulty making out targets at 100 yards. I found these http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/3m-metaliks-sport-safety-glasses-with-amber-anti-fog-lens/

 

I wanted to know if there is something better on the market you would recommend or even better yet would be a 3 pack with clear and smoke that all have antifog for varying light conditions.

There are no anti-fog lenses, not really. You can try applying anti-fog treatments (like Cat Crap and the like)  to all of them and they work to a point, but when it gets humid and the lenses are undergoing temperature shifts, there is going to be condensation.

 

For summer fogging from your own sweat and outside humidity, wear your glasses a bit further from your face. For winter fogging, try to keep the lens temperature changes to a minimum.

OK, So by using an anti-fog spray or wax there is no added value to starting with a lens that has a film on it in addition. I should just keep the ones I have and get the cat crap or spray? I ask because I have no amber glasses and since I have to buy a pair if there is any added value I would spend a couple extra bucks on the glasses plus by the spray/wax.

While there are materials that are chemical inpregnated materials that will reduce fogging on lens mostly used in motor cross and chemistry protective suit usage. There are far more and less expensive liquids that can be easily applied to lens to prevent fogging.

 

Almost any soap ( surfactant) will work as well.

 

As far Amber lens they simple nightlight certain colors to the eye. Clear lens work better.

I ordered the cat crap paste and a cheapo multicolor lens set off amazon to test out. https://www.amazon.com/Unlimited-Shooting-Eyewear-Anti-Fog-Options/dp/B01MAWK1OF

 

When you get those glasses, Just take A drill bit and drill some holes in the top of the lens just under where they meet the frame.

I did that to all my lenses and it will solve your Issue. It least it did for me.   I drilled 5 holes 1/16" in diameter at the top of each lense.
