Default Best Anti-Fog Treatment??

It seems that all I remember from gun season was wiping fog and steam from Bino and scope lens. Anyone able to reccommend a product that works to eliminate this problem? Thanks!

Hey, Jack. A buddy told me a couple of years ago to wipe my glasses with shaving cream to prevent them from fogging up. I never tried it to find out. I have no idea whether he's full of s#*t or whether it actually works. Might be interesting to see the replies to see if anyone else has heard of this.

There is a product called purple stuff that can be applied to scopes,binoculars and glasses. You just spray it on and wipe it off, works pretty well and is cost effective. The website is Thepurplestuff.com good luck

Rain x makes an anti-fog product for car glass, dont see why it wouldnt work for your scopes.

A while back I called Leupold technical supportand asked them the very same question because I hunt in very humid environments and had problems with my binocular lenses fogging up (on the outside)when I looked through them. They recommended a product called kleer-vu. It is an anti-fogging compound that won't harm the multi-coatings on optics. I have been using it for three years on all of my optics. Works great, but you have to re-apply it monthly for optimum performance. Order the small bottle....it will last you for years.

One thing I forgot to add,use "VIVA" paper towels or a cotton cloth to wipe the glass,other paper towles will scratch the glass...

Kleer vu will work, we also used a product called Fog X

Probably the best thing to do is to keep your scopes in your car and not bring them into the house after a day of hunting.

Even if you had a mud porch where you could keep your rifle that was not heated would work.

I use a Bushnell 3200 with rain guard on two of my rifles and it is pretty good - against fog and blurred vision.

The other half of the equasion would be Butler Creek Scope caps.
You only open the caps when you want to see. If you keep them closed, it will keep the water off the lense and will help to keep the fog off the lense.

Here is the link for Fog X
