i had a conversation with a friend on dailymile about cold weather workouts which included a discussion about foggy sunglasses. for some reason i suddenly remembered an old trick someone had told me about sometime last year. a friend suggested putting dishsoap on the lenses. i mentioned it to my training partner and promised a report after i'd tried it out. yesterday afternoon i rubbed a dab of dishsoap on my glasses lenses, just a thin layer, and then left them to dry.
today was the perfect day to test this solution to the fogging problem. it was 18 degrees out when i got up at 4:45. the wind was fairly calm. i checked in on DM while i dressed and then headed out the door.
the results were amazing! for the first time in weeks, i could actually see clearly! i rode for almost an hour and a half and never even saw the hint of haziness. i'm going to mark my log every day now to see how long an application lasts. that way i'll be able to preemptively strike at the fog in the future. hope this tip helps some other cold weather riders and runners.
