Sillica dessicant in goggles

Sitting in the van after a few hours strimming, I go guardless for the efficiency so I have to ware goggles under the face shield. My Oregon goggles fog up badly in this heat, from sweat and it's a real pain, so today I poured a teaspoon of sillica gel dessicant granuled into the gogs, theres a lip all around that holds them so they not touching the face. I was curious to see if they would absorb the moisture building up, and it worked!!! Not once did they get in my eyes, even if I look up - the lip of the face seal keeps them away. There was some fogging at times, simply removed by looking down and swishing the granules around the lens, mopping up the condensation. Before this invention, I would have been removing the goggles every few minutes to whipe out.... Might be of interest to some. Use the white food grade granules, not the coloured ones as they contain cadmium apparently.
