    I have glasses and my "no-fog" face mask doesn't actually work, so was wondering if there is actually one out there? I'm sick of breathing and fogging up my glasses. Thanks in advance

    That's similar to the one that I use, but not exactly the same. I like one that doesn't cover my whole head and has a nose piece that I can shape around the contours of my nose to kind of seal the air from rising up too much. It's not perfect, especially as colder weather gets here, but it's what I use pretty much all season long. During the winter, I wear that with a heavy hood on my jacket to keep somewhat warm.

    For my late season masks, I cut holes for my mouth and nose so I can exhale without much fog issues. I also have a Red Head half-mask that has a nose hole, I just added one for the mouth.

    Never found one that completely eliminates fogging. Make sure the mouth and nose is open for breath to leave out the front rather than the top of the mask. But when it gets cool, just breathing normally without a mask will fog glasses. What I do is exhale in a small stream like I was blowing out candles softly, to make sure the warm breath is not close to the glasses.

    this is the sole reason why I finally got contacts. I haven't regretted it since.

    SITKA makes one and despite the brand name is realitively inexpensive. It has a slot that overlaps so you can adjust it around your mouth/nose to keep it from fogging up your glasses near as much as others I have used. The slot also allows you to use calls without having to go under the mask or pull it down.

    You'll have to find something thin enough that allows your breath to go out instead of up into your glasses. You might want to consider face paint unless it's just so cold you wanna use the face mask. Maybe something with a hole in it for your mouth or nose like an old school ski mask.

    I have had the best luck buying a cheaper mask, made out of the elastic and doing my own cutting and hemming to make little holes so she doesn't fog me up

    I used a mesh one from primos, meshing has enough space there's zero fogging.

    When it is really cold, I have a length of tubing that I breath through when I'm getting ready to shoot. Inevitably without it, I either fog my glasses or scope.
