My glasses tend to fog up easily. How well does this Balaclava work with glasses? Do you experience a lot, a little or no fogging?

Hi Jason, My specs fog up too. I've done all my mototcycling in Europe and America wearing glasses and it's the one and only thing that bugs me about the thing I do most for fun (in public) All previous balaclavas, when worn covering my nose have simply exacerbated the problem and no amount of anti-fog treatment of my lenses or visor would help very much. The CTR Chinook has a panel in the nose/mouth area that helps enorrmously and whilst it's not perfect it does make a huge difference. When moving your misting problem will likely be minimal but at stops you'd normally be frantically lifting the visor or poking around with a gloved finger in an effort to create a small clear window. With the chinook I've found that pursing my lips at stops, so that they actually come into contact with the mesh panel, whilst lifting the visor results in almost zero spectacles misting. Like I said. It's by no means perfeect but on cold rides I often find myself wishing I'd found and purchased something similar years ago. Frankly it's a mystery why motorcycle clothing manufacturers don't pay more attention to the snow mobile sector. Hope this helps.

I wear contacts but I do wear sunglasses most days. I have found if I am not moving and breathing at a normal rate, I fog up pretty badly. While moving have not had any major issue but at a standstill or very slow pace yes it fogs up. Like Martyn said though, if you sorta put your lips against the mesh by your mouth and kinda of channel your exhale, it does eliminate a lot of the problem. This is not always a practical thing to do though.

I have not had any issues with my glasses or goggles getting foggy, but I use anti fog wipes, if it's rainy or cold. I like this mask, because it keeps me warm but not hot.

Negative on the nose bridge. The bridge is a one piece with the whole frame, which in my opinion I prefer it that way. I've had problemas with loosing bridges on other glasses. Not sure if they are specifically anti-fog but at least I have not had that problem myself. I've used them in cold and hot weather without any fogging problems. My Oakleys took a back seat since I got these.

I use it in attic insulation work and it does not fog in that situation. Attics get very hot and you tend to sweat a lot and I have had no fogging issues. The mask and filters are sealed to the face under the shield so no air from the filters circulate within the face shield.

I wear the headset over my ear with glasses. It is comfortable, but it did take some getting used to. Definitely leave on the foam sleeve that comes on the over the ear piece. I haven't tried it without it, but other reviews complain about the hard plastic. I'm sure it would be more bothersome to wear the ear piece with glasses, without the foam sleeve.

I wear glasses, and while it does take some adjustment, it works out fine for me. I found the best results by raising the temples of my glasses a bit so that the arms of the Bluez rest just under them. It shouldn't affect your vision nor the conduction of sound. It will take a bit of playing around. I really enjoy mine.

Yes I keeps your ears warm it's great, but there is a problem of fogging up your glass. I do wear glasses and it happens a lot when your outside in the cold. I have been thinking of making two holes at the noses allow my breath to escape.

Personally I don't like using this mask with my safety glasses at work because they fog A LOT!! If you're glasses fog up easily I'd recommend you buy the N-Ferno 6823 model because it has a small mesh cover over the mouth to allow the warm air that would fog up glasses, goggles, etc. To escape. It is a bit more on the flashy side because it looks a little more aggressive but I believe it would help resolve your foggy lens dilemma.

Only using them on normal eyeglasses, but I haven't noticed any fogging issues.

Have had no problem with fogging. My only problem is keeping the eyepiece lens cap on going through heavy brush, have lost two todate. I contacted UTG and they gladly replaced them with no charge. I consider that pretty darn good customer service and relations. My scope is mounted on a Barnett Jackal cross bow.

I was able to wear my sunglasses comfortably under the goggles, don't do that by the way you won't see much haha. But you could absolutely wear your glasses under these. I also have to say that this mask does a great job staying clear, if your mask fogs up its next to impossible to do anything productive out there. Hope this helps!

I get a good amount of fogging, I just pull it down under my nose for a minute. I recommend washing it before using it as it does have a bit of a smell, otherwise its great.

I wear glasses sometimes and it seems to work fine. Air movement is pretty good and if you're not moving enough then I open the visor a little bit and that woks great too. Hope this helps. Pleased with it so far.

i put the anti fog solution on my mask and i can see that being a problem. if you wear prescription glasses get prescription lenses in your mask. mine are all i need to see pretty well. if you dont i would have to say its a 15 dollar gamble.

Works well without fogging. I've used it in various temperatures and had no issues

To be honest, I do not think you could wear glasses and be comfortable. Also just to add I feel they would fog up with the goggles. **update: I tried with sunglasses and it was painful to say the least.
