I've tried everything to stop glasses steaming up. Not found anything yet that works, tried old wives tales and purpose made solutions. Contacts is the only guaranteed option, however I hate the bloomin' things. Just don't breathe!

Contact lenses here too. There's loads of options these days.

I wear specs and because of serious astigmatism I can't use contacts but I've never had a misting-up problem with my Nitro flip-front. I smear the inside of the visor with a fine coating of neat washing up liquid on rainy days, and I ride up to about 50mph with the visor open one notch. Over 50 and the air flow seems enough to keep it clear. Also, it helps not to wear one of those bandana things as it inhibits the breath exiting the helmet - or, just don't breath!

I went for lazer surgery. Best thing ever, no more faffing with glasses and helmet either. No more walking into a warm building on a cold day and glasses misting up. No more cleaning glasses or loosing them.
Did the five capitals ride two weeks after and it was fine. Never looked back since (except for shoulder checks).

You attach 12 volt positive to the right "arm" if your glasses, and 12 volt negative to the left arm. The resulting flow of current turns the frames red hot causing any condensation to evaporate.

Isn't that ECT? At least you wouldn't be depressed about fogging up any more.

Problem I found with contacts is air flow can cause eyes to dry out a bit causing them to slip up to the top of your eye. Not a great situation when riding along.
