Thought at first it was because I couldn't believe the price they were asking, but it's the same when buying priced items. It's the simple mask with loops going over the ears.

Mine too. I think it is because lip-reading is far more important than we sometimes think.

Glad to hear I'm not alone, the lip reading connection is plausible. Noticed on TV films when the sound is out of synch with the visual that it is often harder to follow.
Roy, it probably would improve my singing, it certainly couldn't make it worse !

Could not find the Rain X, but I may buy some of the Rain X Anti Fog in the New Year when hopefully the Postal service will be working as normal.

Just looked at the feedback on Rain X anti fog, apparently it's very difficult to remove, so I won't be trying it on my specs!

I always found a small dab of swarfega rubbed into the back of a visor keeps it clear for ages - probably works for specs as well. Basically any soapy film on the glass/plastic will help to prevent a fog build up.

The masks do not seal around the nose. Get some of that white surgical tape, its very sticky. Stick a strip on the outside of the mask leaving about 6 m.m. over hang to stick on your nose and area. Air going through this area steamed up my glasses and also made my eyes water. Breathe in through your nose and gently out of your mouth. This will also help stop breathlessness.
