Sunglasses

Im looking for some new sunglasses.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem when working, but when it's warm after a few minutes of working my sunglasses sometimes fog up.  >:(
I've tried not breathing but it's not a long term solution due to getting light headed and passing out.  ;D
Any suggestions for decent sunglasses that don't cause this problem would be appreciated.

Are you covering your eyes or nostrils ?

As a fully qualified scuba diver I can tell you to spit into your  sunglasses before wearing them  ;D

Neat fairy liquid rub it on then buff it off andy and they won't steam up again.. Owned a number of sports bikes and use this inside the visor as an anti fog..

Not to sound elitist but are they cheap sunglasses?
I'm on my 2nd pair of Oakley X Metal Juliets.
They are expensive but the lenses are really good.
Lots if technology behind them and (mine certainly) never fog up.

Yes I should of said they are cheap sunglasses, I've had them for a few years.
The fogging up is annoying, some days they are on and off more often than a tarts drawers.  ;D
Might try the washing up liquid idea courtesy of Avo.

Try going to Lidels they have some cycling glasses with anti fog and scratch resistant, with 2 spare sets of lenses, all for the sum of £6 really good. They don't fog up and are really solid.

Cant do that,then you can't come on here and tell other shiners how you wear your Dolce & Gabbana or Moss Lipow shades for work!  ;)

Get the Oakley's.
it's not that they're expensive like designer ones.
They're expensive because of the technology behind them.
They're designed for outdoor sports-mountain biking type thing. Where you get really sweaty and can't afford to be blinded by your own fog on the lenses.
Can't comment on Lidl's sports ones but the fact they come with spare lenses would believe me to think they are crap.
Alex doesn't give a free set of clamps with each Gardiner pole does he. He makes the ones you get, good enough.

Just be extra careful where you buy them there is a lot of fakes about.
They don't have the proper u.v. protection.

Polarised lenses . Go to local fishing tackle shop you can get a decent pair for £15.00 they reduce glare great for driving and window cleaning and you dont get a blackout with them when you go into the shade . Mike
