Are the Camel Anti-fog lenses worth it?
These glasses cost quite a bit more than the standard Julbo Explorer glasses, is it worth it to fork out the extra for these?

http://www.julbousa.com/lenses/ If you would actually benefit from the anti-mist treatment, there's no reason not to go for it. For most people, however, the only noticeable difference is probably the weight: Alti lenses are glass (heavier), whereas NXTs (these) are polycarbonate (lighter). The lens tint is also slightly different: Altis have no color; Camels are slightly yellowed, apparently an attempt to restore color in "washed-out" conditions. (Just for the record, the glasses appear black when actually worn; the yellow color is only visible when the glasses are off.) If you shop around, you can get Camels for the price of Altis and avoid the question altogether.
