Beretta28g Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Ive got a good one by realtree. The eye holes have elastic around them, with individual straps for top and bottom. If not a DROP of fairy liquid on the glasses may help stop the problems; works with visors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 The main reason glasses steam up when wearing a face mask/veil is because your breath is not escaping through the mask/veil. The two best ones I have found are the ones with the wired eye pieces (most Suppliers), or the army type face veil with the larger mesh size (any Army Surplus Store).

stubby Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 glasses wearer here, make a hole where your mouth it, only breath through your mouth, not your nose, as that steams up your glasses my missus made this for me, makes me look like the phonejacker, but no steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I've had to wear glasses for shooting for the last 10 years or so, and suffered the same problem when pigeon shooting. Cranfield is correct by stating that your breath is not escaping the veil. Some time ago I put on my face veil and marked the position of my nostrils with a chalk. I then cut a cross in the identified spots. This did make a significant improvement, but its not perfect. I did intend to task the soup gragon with a minor sewing job to keep my vents open, I never did, but shall do so now. I'm currently shootless, so it may be a while before I get the chance to trial my latest modification. weber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosa Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 contact lenses This is what i always use although my veil has a hole in, granted not ideal at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokie Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 i tried everything that has been suggested . Some make it a little better some dont . Then i found a hat in my local gunshop . Think its made by jack pycke but will have to check . It has a full face mesh that you can see through . It also stops your quarry seeing any glare or reflection off your glasses.

Beardo Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 i have a Jack Pyke LLCS balaclava and find it excellent - full open face that you can pull up over your nose or have below to breath, plus it has an internal veil that you can pull down to full conceal.

hushpower Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 just awide brimmed trilby is best forget the veil,unless you are that ugly or pale face that spooks them or if you are that parnoid about ones looks a bita fake tan or camo pain does the trick : dont forget to clean it off be fore nipping in for fuel or super/mkt on way home , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Jack Pyke veil, either the plain one or the one I prefer the llcs version. I've put a small hole in the mouth area to use a crow call & have the odd fag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
