I have reached the age of having to wear glasses. Can anyone out there tell me how I can stop my glasses steaming up in my Kendo men.
I have purchased various products which claim to keep glasses from misting over but so far they have not worked.

[payowlirriply]

so far i haven't found any way to prevent my glasses from fogging up when wearing men. however, if you keep moving it fogs up less.

there must be some special sporting glasses that dont fog up

in paintball they use some sort of smelly spray to use on the masks so they dont fog up,
bikers have a plastic foil with that purpose, ... Im sure there is a way, just dont know it. why am I even posting this :s anyways, good luck on your quest

Ok, I have to admit I gave up wearing the glasses inside my men (wearing lenses during training now) as it was a pain. But there are a few things you can do, you can rub a tiny drop of dishwashing liquid on the glasses and rub it in until it leaves no residue, once it dries clean the glass with a soft cloth and avoid rubbing too hard. The other thing you can use is spit, a bit disgusting but it works.

But so far the best I found is the antifog fluid for motorbike helmet visors, it works just as well on the glasses

On the other hand, if you can see well enough without the glasses, try without them and see how you get on

Yeah, it works. Always used to do that when I dive, and it usually works well.
If you don't have anything against using lenses, then go for that instead. They don't fog up and are overall much more convenient.

Oh, I meant to mention, if you are based in the UK try your local Halfords for the antifog spray, it should be on the bike section

There's a thread about this if you search. I use on occasion BARZ surf goggles which makes me look like Robin from Batman...

To stop fogging:

1) Buy some anti fogging solution.

2) Apply a thin film of soap or detergent(not to thick or it will be smudgy) onto the lenses and let it dry.

3) As someone said before, saliva. I use this on the googles, have a quick lick on the lens and presto! no fogging.

have you tried doing kendo without your glasses? you dont really need super eyes to do kendo, even if your opponent is a bit blurry. some could say this is even better, because it forces you not to focus on one point, but instead see your opponent as a whole.

[Asianunta]

Yeah, I suggested that too, although for some of us is not possible (I am -10 and -7), without glasses or lenses I can't barely make out the Kote from the do, not to mention do from gi

I don't know if it is practical for your eye condition but I decided to get contacts for kendo.

Although I hate wearing them I only use them for kendo and it is better than not seeing or wearing glasses.

[QRhnNSg9]

same here. I only wear them for kendo too.

[LSg44PDu]

I had the distinctly painful experience of having one dry on me as I was practicing...

I now use kendo glasses which do fog up somewhat. My take is that fogged glasses are better than hazy shapes that hit me...

Right foot as a radar would be great if it allowed me to see my opponent. Without glasses I can barely see the tip of my shinai.

[twiffatticy]

I wear contacts (gas permeables) for kendo as well and have had no major issues so far (11+ years in bogu). I'm -11.75 and -10 and have practiced a few times without any lenses at all...not fun. :P
