My personal experience, after spending quite a few pesos on a pair of
polycarbonate lenses (useful as safety glasses in the shop) and durable
frames, is that sports type wrap around tend to fog badly.  could be my
malformed face however.  My oval wire rims do not experience this
problem at all.  I hear there are coatings. The homespun dive trick for
masks does not seem to work.
