Default anti fog for binos

This weekend out in the cold coyote hunting, had a terrible time with my bins fogging up. Anyone have a solution that will not wreck the finish on my lenses?

Nikon makes an anti-fog cloth that might help.

Default Foggy glass

I put a bit of liquid dish soap on my eye glasses - rub it over the lens with my finger and lightly wipe it off with a tea towel - seems to work- been doing it for 25 years.

+1. A damp cloth with a little liquid soap on it works wonders. I've been using it on bathroom mirrors for years.

You can rub shaving cream into the glass then wipe off.

Try stopping by a Scuba Diving shop. They will have numerous brands and type of anti-fog for lenses. As stated by another Cat Crap works well.

I remember spitting in my snorkling goggles to keep them from fogging... I do not know that would work for bunks 😊

Any kind of soap or shave cream will work, learned it a long time ago for playing hockey with glasses on.

Do you put it on both sides of the lens or just the outside. I just picked up a little container of Cat Crap from Marks WW.

I do both sides, as often it's my own breath that fogs up glasses or lenses, especially wearing a balaclava.
