fogproof

Won't cloud over

Fogproof describes something designed or treated to resist fogging—the condensation that clouds transparent surfaces when warm air meets cold.

Camera lenses, ski goggles, and bathroom mirrors may be fogproof: These fogproof binoculars work even in humid conditions.

The protection typically comes from coatings that prevent moisture from beading.
