I am at the same stage as Teddy. Take my progressive bi focals off because
of rain or steam then I can't read trail maps see holes in the trail as easy
or even markers. Up here in Mich. while snowmobiling I'm finding the problem
with glasses steaming up even worse than going down the trail on the horse.
I am trying all those things on the market you spray or wipe on glasses to
see if anything will keep the fog off. All the mfg. of all the products I
have tried so far are liers! Seems like no matter how you apply the gunk,
weather you go by the directions or not, nothing sems to work. If I ever
find anything I will let the world know. If anyone else has come up with an
anti fog agent  please pass it on.
