Gene here, I make Raincoat. I have done lots of testing and have found very little water repellency from RainX on
plastic lenses. Rain-X is great on glass and lasts for months. On plastic, not too much.
Raincoat lasts from many days to weeks on plastics. It has an outstanding beading effect on drops of water. Even seems to bead up some thin fill paint but I need more input from players on that.

Yes, excessive water on your lenses from sweat, humidity or rain causes the Fogtech to eventually run off your shield. So the fogging returns. There may be help coming from a permanent anti-fog coating made of tiny, tiny beads of glass that is sintered onto the lens. This coating is porous and allows the water to enter and spread out from the attraction of water to glass. But this coating is at least 2 to 3 years away from being commercialized.
I don't think Raincoat will help your sweat because the two products solve two different problems. Raincoat is designed to 'bead up' drops of water and Fogtech is designed to spread it out. I have applied Fogtech over Raincoat. The lens did not fog, but larger drops did not bead up until I washed away all the Fogtech. Then the Raincoat started to kick in.
I would suggest that you wear an absorbent head band to catch the sweat coming off your head. If you are already doing that, then you may have to go with a fan and Fogtech.
