Best Anti-fog Eye Protection 2021?

I have the secret of 100% no fog polycarbonate eyepro. I just keep it to myself to keep up sales.

 
Good news, my hat is fully charged!

I've just thrown that unit together from a 12V fan[1], a small 7.4V lipo with some kydex wrapped round it to make a holder, a switch, and some silicone tubing, all liberally[2] hot-melted together and finished off with Poundand's very best rattlecan black.

[1] This is running much quieter off of 7.4V than the visually identical one sealed in to my Space Soldier helmet.  I wonder if that might be a 5V unit.

[2] Liberally in the sense of sloppily, lazily and without any care or pride in my work.

That's the same setup I'm looking for with Son's bump helmet.

What did you do with the goggles in terms of plumbing the air tube into them? I've seem some setups that blow-in from the sides (around the wearers temple - like exfog), and others blowing down through the top of the goggle frame.

If it works and it does the job who cares what it looks like. I keep telling myself that about the wife.?

 
After trying Dye i4, Bolle X800, various home brew fans etc, I just went to a Warq. That's it. Sorted, no fog ever, rain, sun, running, sitting. Plus total protection, lightweight, and jusst one strap to do up. can wear my normal glasses underneath and they don't steam either

 
The air flow is a bit like the cash flow.....fast!

They are v expensive.

 
The blowers are not that expensive less than a £10 for 4, my issue is the wiring, I’m gonna pop round my local electronic shop in the week and see about that.

Just drilled a hole in the side, there's plenty of meat on these goggles between the frames.  I've also enlarged those existing vent holes a bit with a pointed soldering iron.

Gentle, which is all I need given that these are already dual paned and I'm using Revision wipes. It's just for the times when I'm still after exertion.  I have FMA fan goggles with a tiny side fan which also work, but I prefer these goggles as they're slightly neater and lighter.

@rj1986 Yea those packets of Elbow grease was a nightmare to find for some of the newbies ?

 
Suck or blow?

Just had a 25x25mm fan arrive today. 5v version - planning to use a cheap Poundland 2000mAh rechargeable USB power bank.

It's a perfect fit on my paintball goggles (Empire E-Flex) - sits flush with the top of the lens.

@Speedbird_666 I have mine blowing down into the goggles as it’s my spectacles that do the fogging not the goggles themselves 

 
Oh I will add if you have some mouldable putty (like Sugru) to surround the fan/s it will cut down on a lot of the fan whine and will protect it a little too
