Whats everyone use to keep their binocs from foggin up in the rain....if its even possible :chuckle: i have a antifog spray but it doesnt work worth crap...anyone try rain x....not sure if its good for the lenses so i havent tried
Mine are fog-proof/Vortex. I used to use Rain-X for my motorcycle goggles when it was raining. I don't know if it's recommended for fine optics though.

I have a leupold cascades...just like all the rest there fogproof inside the binocs but what about the outside of the lenses...ur vortex binocs dont fog up at all?..i had a hell of a time last weekend tryin to keep fog off in the pissin rain
I haven't had a problem yet, but i hunted early bow and it was hot and dry until the last day. No problems the last day. Now that it's colder, I may. I've only had them for about 3 months.

I returned them last week for a pair of Bushnell Legend Ultra HD binocs which are working much better with their Rainguard coating.

Back in my SCUBA diving days we used to put toothpaste or dish soap on the inside of the mask then wash it out before we went in. I am going to try this with my binocs and report later this weekend.
(puts a fine film over the lens) Do not worry, my binocs are not worth anything anyways LOL

Apply and rub in. Cleans the glass and won't fog.
Works great on eye glasses, and bathroom mirrors, and binoculars.
Cheap also.

It was on here a few years ago someone posted that their lenses were fogging up, and another member said that Cat Crap works great. I remember I had the same problem with my lenses fogging up, but there was no way in hell I was stupid enough to put cat crap on them :bdid: :chuckle: but once i found out what it really was I have used it ever since with good results
i believe you...im gonna order some and try it...just gotta love the name :chuckle:

Now that you are done Laughing. There is a product called Cat Crap that comes in a little red flip top tub kind of a blue waxy substance. You'll find it in the Ski section at REI. It's desiged for ski goggles but it will keep the water from condensing in small droplets on binos and scopes or eye glasses if you wear them. I can't say that it is reccomended for coated optics. but it works. You just have to make absolutely sure you don't get grit in it or on your finger before applying it. I got a piece of grit on my finger then used it on my glasses once. scratched the hell out of it before I realized it.
