Can anyone recommend a combination of face mask and safety specs that don't mist up when used together? I find that my breath seems to exit upwards and condenses on the inside of the glasses.

Preferably something cheapish from Screwfix or Toolstation. It's just dust from under a floor so not particularly nasty.

You're not going to get cheap safety rated glasses that don't mist up I'm afraid. I now wear vision correction glasses full time now with really expensive lenses and still experience some misting from time to time. Best glasses I had that were safety rated otherwise were bolle tracker 2, and they've come down a lot in price. First time I used them they were upward of £15 a pair.
 
I was more hoping to find a mask that doesn't leak upwards. My glasses are fine without the mask.

Thanks for the recommendation (and only £9.99!)

I've just been using a disposable no-name mask.

the Press To Check filters are probably the best for price and P3 rated. They help ensure the mask is fitted correctly too.
 
Can always try furniture polish on the inside.. I used to use it all the time on motorbike helmet visors, until I discovered anti-fog inserts
 
I generally use a polycarbonate face shield rather than safety specs to avoid the problem you describe (in low to medium peril situations).
 
I saw some UVEX safety glasses at Screwfix live about 4 years ago, UVEX were at the show, and I said my frustration with safety glasses was the issue you describe of misting.

She said try these ones, they had a coating on them, were scratch proof, (I tried using wire wool) and mist proof, (no matter how much I tried to breath on them), they were good and only about £12 - £15 from memory.

That said, I never then purchased them at the time (a mistake), and still rely on rubbish cheapo ones which mist.
 
I use a moldex 8000 mask, you can get various gas and dust filters, I use p3 filters, no problem with glasses steaming up.
 
Well I've bought the Force 8 mask as suggested above but I've not tried it yet for reasons that I may write about soon in "plastering". I'll let you know if it solves the problem for me, and if not I'll investigate the other suggestions.
