Hey Buzz
Sorry for the late reply. I picked up some goo in Sturgis last year to keep lenses from foggin....didn't work in the heat and humidity.
On the highway last year I wore the 3/4 by Harley with retract sunshield. At night I must wear my corrective lenses so having the face shield is a big help....never fogs cuz its only a drop down half face cover. My other method is a brain bucket and in the day time I wear sunglasses with foam padding....never fogs. If wearing the bucket at night I then wear the corrective lenses and cover up with oversized goggles foamed around the edges and designed to accommodate eyewear. I have never experienced fogging with this set.
I'll send you the names of my products so you can check them out.
BTW, I haven't been in rain with the bucket goggles....so we'll have to see how they work in that situation.

GREAT! I am VERY intrerested in this subject. Yesterday I got hit with a fast and COLD rain fogging up really bad. Also tried all diff stuff.
If I got u right, the only thing that u found that
did work is the shield that hung down in front on a 3/4 bucket?
I was so upset yesterday abt the fogging, I went to the IBA Forum and found what others were saying. I will copy/paste the exerpts here for you below between these lines.
He fogging, De-Fogging Glasses
Half fill a sink (bowl) with warm (hotish) water, Wash the glasses (visor) using some fairy liquid as a soap leave them to soak for a few minutes in order for them to get to the temperature of the water, rinse the suds off with clean warm water and dry with a paper towel (tissue) being careful not to touch thew lens face with your fingers. What this does is degrease the lens and as we all know fogging cant form on a degreased surface.
asda lens cleaner £1 per bottle 40cl spray thing, worked well in the shed last night and then again over a cup of tea in the cold shed, edges of visor misted this morning , pinlock kept the centre clear but glasses were fine no misting at all. just got to see how long it lasts now.
While SCUBA diving, it's very common for a dive boat to provide a tub of water with a very small amount of baby shampoo to dip your dive mask in - do not rinse off and do not towel off, mist won't form on the soap film. If you use "no tear" baby shampoo, you don't have to worry if you get any in your eyes (Phil!).
Tomorrow will be my first ride using 'Cat Crap' Lens Cleaner Anti-Fog. It's a greenish wax, you put it on and buff with a soft cloth. It has been recommended by other riders.
rub the bar of soap on the lens (both sides of the lense) when both are dry. polish with a clean dry cloth so that you can see thru the glasses as normal.
treatment works well until the soap is cleaned off. re-treating the specs after cleaning restores the anti-fog property.
Project Report to Soft Soap aka Greg: I tried a drop of Dawn on the right lens and
rubbed it off until no smearing was present. This was about a week and
several hundred miles ago. Results are great; the left lens consistently
fogs while the right lens stays clear as a result of the one application.
I'll be checking them all out. Be careful not to damage ur shield/goggles if u try any of these things.
I did use the Zooske but to be applying EVERY day is insane. Well, unless it rains. LOL But really, it is not practical to apply it every day. There must be something btr.
