Anti-fog for camera lens?

One of the biggest problems I have run into while filming is that the lens gets all fogged up with basically anything when I take it skiing. I usually wipe it off with cloth or something, but it still doesn't look as good as it could. Any tips on keeping it clear? Cat Crap maybe?

Yes rub cat crap all over your front element, thats what the pros do. While you are at it you can use nikwax to waterproof it too!

if you make sure you cool your camera from room temperature or warmer (indoors) to the cold outdoor temperature slowly, and shoot with it when it is the same temperature outside, it won't fog up.

When you go from cold air to warm air your lenses will fog up until they reach the temp of the air, you can't really prevent it.

There are these glass filters that either click or screw on to the front of the lens that are anti-fog. I think bhphotovideo has them
