Review:
Wow! What can I say. We've been enduring really cold conditions in Winnipeg to review a product like Clarity Fog Eliminator. All the testing I performed was in real conditions as that is how the product will be used by customers. The first thing that really intriguied me was the format; the product is a dry cloth. I was a little concerned about how to properly store the cloth because I was worried about the active ingredients dissipating. A quick email to Tammy ended my concerns. You can store it anywhere dry (glass case, original package, etc...). I was told that the cloth was effective for 6-8 applications depending on eyesize. This was true and I was even able to stretch it a little longer, granted with a small eyesize. On SRC poly and cr-39 there was no smudging when applying the product.The Fog Eliminator was totally effective on both lens types. I am quite meticulous about keeping my lenses clean through good practice and I don't have to clean them that often; and found that one application lasted me through an entire weekend of weather which dipped well into the -30's(celcius that is). It was even effective on my Oakleys. I made a custom lens out of cr39 for snow storms and after walking through a blizzard for 20 minutes, stepped into a warmhouse and there was no fogging. I was completely blown away. The Oakleys are such a tight wrap and they always fog, even in moderately cold weather. I tried it on a pair of Revos with backside AR and there was noticable smudging but that was what I suspected because I was aware that this might occur with some AR products. The anti-fogging benefits actually outweighed the smudging. I'll end this review right here because I have nothing but good things to say about Clarity Fog Eliminator. The only time I experienced a problem was yesterday when our temperature dipped down to -42.Getting on a bus after a 10 minute wait, it took about 15-20 seconds for the fog to dissapear; however I'm used to taking my glasses off completely and waiting several minutes before I can put them on again. Fantastic Product! Great Innovative format. Nice packaging and price point. I could probably sell it for twice as much without anyone raising an eyebrow
Would you purchase this product or other products from this company based on your experience with this product?
YES
