I have been flying a 320 for 3 years in a damp and foggy area(Northern
Calif) and have always had the same experience with a fogged up canopy. It
begins to fog up just after closing the canopy and proceeds to worsen thru
run-up. A cloth is needed to get enough visibility to taxi. Immediately
upon adding power for takeoff, it starts to clear and by lift-of the canopy
is completely clear. This is due to the increased air movement in the very
untight cabin. In my opinion, defrosting is definately not worth the least
amount of time or effort.
