The absolute best to keep the mask from fogging up when diving!, September 12, 2008
I have been diving for over 6 years now and i've been using Sea Drops from the start. Many people will tell you spit, or baby shampoo is just as good and cheaper, but you get what you pay for. While the others "MAY" work, Sea Drops do work all the time. i use 3 drops per lens and apply it when prepping the equipment for a dive. When you get to the water rinse the lenses and the mask will stay clear the whole dive. I would recommend the drops over the gel as the drops will last you longer and the gel is generally more expensive. I love this product and highly recommend it.

Three way *extreme* comparison, December 28, 2009
I practice karate & I wear glasses. This is not a happy combination - I spend too much time picking my glasses up off the mat. So I went out & bought a pair of sports goggles, they stay on but fog up something fierce. (My *opponents* like sparring with a blind man, though... ;-) For those who don't practice the Ancient Asian Art of kicking-below-the-belt: it is the *ultimate* workout. You sweat an unbelievable amount, making this a true stress test for anti-fog goop. I tried an old spray-on I use for my motorcycle face shield - but that did next-to-nothing to help.
I hit good ol' Amazondotcom & found the three highest-rated anti-fog products & tried them out on successive weeks.
NUMBER THREE is the artfully-named "Cat Crap" Ek Cat Crap Glass and Lens Cleaner It's a waxy substance, you smear it on & by the directions buff it until clear. But I don't know how to tell the difference between "buffing until clear" and "wiping it off." It did do better at mitigating the fogging problem than the old spray-on I had laying around. But it still didn't keep the lenses clear, either. Three Stars.
NUMBER TWO is Sea Drops Sea Drops Anti-Fog & Lens Cleaner This is a viscous fluid, you smear it on & let it dry, then buff. I buffed it just barely enough for the spots to disappear & tried it out. It worked "pretty good." My lenses didn't fog up, stayed mostly clear but by the end of class there was still a little spotting. Much better than the old spray-on, but still not quite as good as number one. Four Stars.
For my money, NUMBER ONE is Fog Tech. FogTech Anti-fog 30ml Solution It's a clear solution, you wipe it on & let dry. That's it, no guessing how much buffing you need. My goggles stayed clear & dry throughout the class. It may be the priciest solution, but it works. Five Stars.
Now I can see the foot coming at my nose.
Much better.

Not recommended for Glasses, February 2, 2011
This review is for GLASSES wearers only. It does NOT apply to goggles, so if you are going to use this for anything other than glasses, please do not consider this into whether or not you are going to get these.
These drops were purchased for my glasses for when I snowboarded. I wasn't sure if they would work, but I decided to give them a try anyways.
Applying to the glasses was difficult- following multiple directions online and on the package, I either left a terrible residue on the lenses and was unable to see clearly, or I buffed it out to the point where all the liquid had disappeared and the glasses fogged up again.
I finally got them buffed to the point where they semi-didn't fog, and went up the mountain where of course, they fogged up.
For glasses, I don't recommend this product.
I have tried them on my bathroom mirror, and it does seem to work there though, and worked for about a week.
If you are looking for something with your glasses, I recommend going to your nearest REI; they have a generic white cloth that you can buff your glasses with and it keeps them from getting fogged up. Best of all, it only costs 2.99 and can be used almost indefinitely.
