foggy binos?

Recommended Posts

Have any of you ever used the anti fog "paste" like stuff I have seen at different stores. Im not talking about fog inside the binos, just the condensation that builds up on the outside of the lense say due to breathing on them. Will that stuff ruin good glass. I would imagine since you rub it on it would be EXTREMELY important to make sure the lense was clean before application. Is there any stuff on the market that does work? Thanks in advance

I bought a product from Walmart last year, can't remember the name of it, but it looked similar to a baby wipe. You just rubbed it on your lenses and it helped prevent fogging. I used it on my pig hunt last year in 35B and it worked great.

Not sure how you guys get to your hunting spots,but an old timer and guide, (friends dad) told me to put them on the dash with the defroster or heater blowing up there.Then tuck them in your warm jacket when you get to your spot,also you can buy those hand warmers (.99 cents?ea),and rubber band them to the lens bodys.

Cabela's sells this stuff called Parker's Perfect that I've been using. Comes in a little spray bottle. You don't wipe it off completely, but leave a layer of it on the lens and let it dry. Still, fogging in cold weather continues to be a problem for me.

 

I've tried a number of different products over the years, and none work as advertised. They also advertise them as eyeglass anti-fog. But spray it on, hop outta the nice warm truck on a 10 degree morning, then start hiking some steep country sweating profusely. There just ain't any of these products that can keep your eyeglasses from fogging under these circumstances.

 

You Arizona boys and girls don't know how good you have it hunting the banana belt.

Other things to do that help a little are to fold/push in the eyecups to allow air circulation, wipe your face and eyelids dry before glassing, tilting back or taking the cap off, and breathing through the nose instead of mouth. Like was mentioned, starting with warm binos from the defroster or inside the jacket really helps.
