I use to put it under my jacket but constantly getting them out and getting wet from it then dealing with fogged lenses from your body heat...I'd rather just let them get wet  :chuckle:

Badlands binocular case.  Kleer Vue on scopes and range finder.
WE hunt a lot from stands and blinds and that Badlands magnetic binocular case is what most of the guys that are serious that hunt that area use.

I keep a microfiber wipe in the case too.  I never use scope covers and am OK with that.

Buy a bushnell elite! No better optics for the region. They will not fog up.

I keep my binos in a FHF pouch.  If it's really wet I put a rubber bikini cover on my scope.

If it's really humid and you have rapidly changing temps, it won't matter what the heck you use.
