Anyone got any good ways of masking whilst wearing glasses? I've not yet been able to find a good way or properly masking without my glasses steaming up when I exhale.

@renbymon depending on the mask you can pinch the bridge in such a way I believe. I had this problem and I 3d printed a thingy I found online to do it for me. I never tried anti fog spray but I know that exists too.

@renbymon #krokodili What kind of mask are you using? I use a 3M 6200 (elastomeric) and when I combine it and glasses I never have this problem. But, when I wear glasses with a disposable N95 I do have this problem.

@ellenor I've been using N95 style masks just for the convenience (adhd). I've got something similar to the 6200 already (JSP Force 8) that I use when woodworking/spray painting but hadn't considered using it anywhere else

@ellenor Just checked the data sheet for the filters; 99.97% To NIOSH Standard For P100 Filter.

@renbymon I use my glasses to pin my mask to my nose. It only works with glasses that have separate nose pads

@renbymon I'm in the same boat, and so far the only thing that has worked for me is a mask that has a reusable silicone rubber gasket for the face with replaceable filters in front. I like the Flo Mask, but I think there are others out there. Not the cheapest option, but it does a lot better job at keeping exhaled air from leaking out the top than plain disposable masks do.
