Fogged up goggles, faceshield, and welding hoods

If you work in cold weather like me you probably get irritated when your welding hood, goggles, or face shield fog up. To fix this i bought some Rain-X "Anti Fog" the kind you use for car windows and put 2 or 3 coats on . The bottle costs like $1.60 at Walmart and it works like a champ. By the way this wasn't my idea i read about it on a welders forum.

Divers spit in their goggles to stop misting - it's free!

I used to use shaving cream (the foam type like Colgate or Barbasol; not the gel) on the sheild of my full-face motorcycle helmet to keep it from fogging. Just apply a thin coat and wipe it off. It's cheap, works great...and smells good.
