1) Wash lenses with liquid dish soap and water and blot dry.
2) Use a Smith No-Fog Cloth (think ski goggles).

I had a pair with large lenses that would fog up no matter what I tried. I bought some nicer/smaller ones and I don't have fog issues anymore.

I used to have trouble when I was predator calling with my glasses fogging up. My breath would get trapped under my face mask and when my hot breath hit my cold lenses they would really fog.
I found some stuff called Kleer Vu. You spray it on your lenses and wipe them clean and you are GTG. You can google them up.

I do ice drags and river/ lake riding in the winter in a race quad... go to you local powersports dealer or a sporting place that sells ski/snowboard stuff.. they will have a non aerosol spray you spray on helmet visors and ski goggles to keep them from fogging up,
I use that on my summer goggles and i switched to dual lens goggles for winter but still use the spray ( i wear a motocross helmet year round for riding)

In the good old days, I broke off a 1" line of Caress soap, 1"x 1/2", just run it across both sides of your glasses, with a soft cotton cloth, rub it in and wipe it down clear.. it shouldn't fog up for at least 1 hour.
Don't need no stinken high dollar anti-fog do hicky.. good old school logic here...

Shoot them with your largest caliber and go out and buy some good ones not made on China. I like RE's.

Yeti's right and it costs less than the store bought solutions that use soap.

try rain x. Its the stuff you put on your car windshield to make the water bead up. You can use it in your bathroom to stop the mirror from fogging too. Its easy to find in most stores.

don't wear them smack up against your face.
i had the same problem - i merely reset them 1/2 cm away from my face so they weren't sitting right up against my eyebrows & they haven't fogged since.

if you're wearing them w/ ear muffs they'll hold the glasses in place next to your head wherever you position them. Even when I use just ear plugs the glasses dont go anywhere. They don't need to sit very far at all from your face. Play around with how you wear them & hopefully you'll find a good medium - it beats spending $$ on defogging products & whatnot.

Many of those small bottles of stuff that cost $$$ are nothing more than diluted dish soap. A drop between the fingers, rubbed all over both sides of the lens, rinse, dry with you undershirt.

Walmart sells hand held battery powered fans- pocket size. Blow the hot air out from under your glasses every so often, and as was mentioned, don't smash them up against your face. Air flow is the best remedy I've found.
