I really wish I knew it was Gorilla Suit Day ™ – I might have actually dressed up (well, probably not – but it still would have been cool to know)
Haha! I just tilt my head upwards and it seems to somewhat mitigate it.
Walk in backwards was one that I’ve known about for a long time. I myself use the much simpler “remove glasses before going outside”, but I have an advantage over most in that regard…
The walking backwards is just to keep the glasses out of the leading-edge boundary between hot and cold (condensation). If you are backwards, the air that hits the glasses has moved around you (you’re cold) and probably lost a bunch of water by cooling slightly. That warms the glasses slightly etc etc. Tilting the head serves the same purpose – makes the glasses not the leading edge. Actually, tilting will make them thinner and therefore more likely have the air pass over them than hit and roil over them.
I guess an experiment to see if the backwards thing works would be to take a piece of cardboard and hold it in front of you as you walk in. The cardboard would push the initial warm air over your head and below your chin, giving the glasses time to warm up a little.
Walk in backwards? That’s so awesome!
