Steaming up goggles

[ex]

I can fog up my goggles just standing still and I have found Seadrops to be the best anti fog solution. You can pick it up at any good scuba shop for around 6 bucks.

X2, works on my hockey visor too

Hmmm Dave, something just seems amiss to me here.

I bought my first AEG a couple of years ago now-a 'TM' H&K SG1 -mostly coz i liked the look of it. Its a beast of a weapon but too big to lug about stealthly on the battlefield. The SD5 on the other hand is a decent compromise-a hell of a lot easier to carry around, plus the extra barrel length over the standard MP5 gives you a better idea of where you're aiming at in low light conditions.
Anyhow, having tested one the other day in a skirmish- i am now a convert to the M16 family. The carry handle makes for easy handling, but for me the fore-end handle swings it, for ease of aiming, for aiming over and around cover I don't think it can be beat.
Hope this has been of some help...

That being a quote from "Feed the Newb" thread in the thrash. Seems odd that after 16 years of skirmishing, that you didn't pick up a trick like dishsoap or heading to you local diving shop for anti-fog spray (or ATV shop, or motorcycling shop etc etc.) Sorry, but either your fishing here, or you lied in the other thread.


As for fog, good vent and anti-fog spray will beat out any fan.

dracheous- for your info i got my first bb-gun -a 'springer-shotgun' back in '91/'92. i have always skirmished with my brothers and mates on private property -as opposed to a liscenced 'professional' bb site (which incedently are few and far between in the Highlands of Scotland...) -this is the first time i've had the opertunity to get feedback from 'proper'-skirmishers...i'm used to cleaning my goggles with tissue -thanks for the input anyway.
ps:are all Canadians as thorougth as you, or are you just an exception?

Body wash=no fog. Enough said.
Works for me anyway.

I've seen people modify the top rubber part by drilling holes into them that are smaller than 6MM.

spit...really spit

Buy Bolle T800. I sweat like a motherfucker and I can fog up safety glasses. I treat the Bolles with anti-fog (from a paintball shop) and I can go forever and sweat oceans with zero fogging. I've tried paintball goggle with fans, and nothing else works for me.

I say cuts down, but not eliminate, bucause a sweaty animal like myself can overcome even a good thermal lens. That's where the fans come into play. I've got a small CPU cooling fan attached to my ESS Striker goggles. If you want a pre-fab setup, search for ESS Turbocam goggles or JT Vortex fans for paintball goggles.

I've found goggle fog is a #1 game wrecker, so for me, the fan and thermal lens are a must.

Hows the fans for noise, I like to hear ppl sneaking up on me, or hearing where the shots are coming from is helpful.

Most small computer fans(better quality ones any way) will have a db rating printed on them, easy to find really quite fans.

Shaving Cream Works on my CQB Mask, Keeps It Fog Proof.
