If your talking about fogging on the outside of the lenses, then find a shop that sells dive equipment (scuba diving). You should be able to get some liquid that divers use to keep their face masks from fogging. One bottle should last you a lifetime.

Easier still get some of the wipes that you use on eyeglasses - most are anti-fog - since I wear glasses I carry them all the time and use them on my binos, spotting scope and rifle scopes.

do the wipes seem to work good? where can i buy some?

thanx

I also agre with the wipes.. Pretty easy to throw in a small bag and to keep conviently in your fanny pack..
You can get them at any outdoor store like military surplus' or REI, probably even Cabelas..
If your binos are fogging inside you might want to to check the specs to see if they are warrantied against this.. If they are not, either upgrade into a higher quality glass or resort to the wipes..
Are you using a face mask when the fogging occurs?
If you are that would explain the route your exhale would pass and come into contact with your lenses..
Good luck..

Trust me, spray a shaving cream on the lens then wipe em clean. It prevents from fogging up.

Bay divers wipe and polish...but rugged gold dredgers just spit...

I have have used wipes and spray and both work well. Here ion Phoenix it's difficult to find the wipes cloths except during the winter ski season. But the sprays you can find at Safeway grocery,Walgreens etc.--just makle sure it says on the bottle "anti-fog".

oh, one more thing. For best results you may need to apply it about every 2 nd day.
