apen bino's fogging up inside
« on: October 31, 2016, 01:43:39 PM »
anyone else have this issue? 

the fogging is inside the bino's was out hunting and as we all know it's been raining a lot.  I dry them off and bring back inside house at night.

Cracked seal or gasket. In other words your binos are probably shot unfortunately. Id contact the manufacturer

I have heard a some good things about Alpen, I had a pair of their binos until they got ejected from a truck that was going end over end, along with my 30-06 and my 308

They will likely repair them for you.  I think you are going to be OK

For some crazy reason my gut feeling is they come out of the same factory as Vortex in china. I think they also have a no fault replacement program. Whrn American importers buy these so cheap they can afford to replacr no questions asked.

I bet you get a new pair.  As Redbeard said, they are so inexpensive ... I think they are great for the $, I'm on a budget and have an Alpen spotter until I can get a high quality replacement (maybe after the kid graduates UW).  When I got it, they offered a lifetime, NQA repair or replacement guarantee.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
