    In a pinch you can wipe the inside of your visor with a thin film of WD40. Works very well as anti-fog agent.

    We're talking an ultra-thin film. I can't see where it'd be a problem. Ill see if I can find some old lens to experiment with and will post results. I know I'd rather take the incredibly low chance of a fire problem than fogging up and not see where I'm going or lose a run because of a fogged lens.

    Fire is only a problem when you are on fire.

    now if you have any IMPACT gear I would say that is a bigger issue that oiling your self up before a run.

    im just sayin?

    dish soap

    i second the dish soap method. kind of primitive, but i did it for every run after about 2 pm. while the no fog visors and the no fog sprays work, at some point they wear off. I didn't want that to be during an important night run. that's why i just used a thin film of dish soap. just personal preference.

    i would take a small dab on a paper towel and buff it on inside and out, then buff it off with a clean paper towel.

    Ive mentioned this before, when diving in the caymens, an old timer let me use his "secret" anti-fag for my mask and it worked GREAT! After a couple days he told me the "secret" formula.......Ivory Dish Soap and water;)
