Wet optics while BT/Roosie hunting!

[wt]

What do you vetran BT and Roosie hunters do about optic in the rain. I have used scope covers and an enclosed bino harness in the past but they fall short when it is nasty all day, and sometimes I think they retain the fog longer. What you say fellow wetsiders? covers or wide open or other?

Use a lens coating and you don't have to worry. Mtn Ops or Cat Crap work and you can take them out with you in case they need a little more later in the day.

No-Fog Anti Fog Cleaner and I use a Badlands binocular harness.  My biggest issue is when I have a face mask on and the vapor from my breath rises right up behind it and fogs the rear lense.

I have the Badlands harness and if I don't use defogger, especially in the rain, they're useless.

Bingo JD and Piano Man.  I use the Badlands cover and I've used the cat crap in the past ,when the Badlands gets saturated it kind of is like a steam generator so it sounds like I'm on to it but looking for other tips and tricks keep them coming.

It's what I use and it works great

Can you defog multiple lenses with each of these wipes - glasses, binos, and scope with one wipe? They're not cheap at about 50 cents each.

Ya cheap I do my binoculars and scope with one 2 part pack
And for the people with glasses on these work great !

I thought the anti-fog solutions were harmful to the coatings on the lens???

You are b/t hunting... You don't need binos. Just look down, or 15' ahead.

You sound awful sure of yourself

Thanks all. Jakeland, do you use scope covers or just the lense treatment?

both and I've been using these for a long time and no issues!
And anyone that hunts blacktails knows how important your optics are!!
