Best optics Antifog.

When I got my Swarovski El Range, and Z5 scope I called Swarovski Customer Service to see what they recommended. The CS agent told me that they recommend "Parkers Perfect" Anti fog. It comes in individual packs that are easy to pack or stick one in your pocket. The packet contains a one-time use towelette that is easy to apply, and seems to work well.
Scuba divers put Baby Shampoo inside their masks. Rinse it out before a dive & you're good for all day. (Baby shampoo wont burn your eyes so badly) Ought to work on scope lenses for a week. JMO
 
This all sounds like stuff that's going to degrade the quality of my sight picture....I have mixed feelings about putting ant product over my Steiner M1050R SUMR binoculars which always seem to fog bad on those cold opening morning deer hunts in November.
 
Life Art dry anti-fog lense cloth. Each cloth can be used up to 700 times, but usually, I use for a couple of hundred wipes then dispose. A 5 pack is 16.95 and will last a LONG time. Easy to carry and apply reusable single pack
 
Motosolutions FogTech... Best I've found, I've used it on all my optics with no negative effects.
I'm a trained optomechanical tech and was once a NASA safety diver back in the last century.... Couldn't make shuttle door gunner....I guess I've have been around the block with solutions several times.
This advice is worth everything you've paid for it!
Oh and don't skimp on lens cloths.... Buy once, cry once, clean(separate) often.

Available on Amazon and Fleabay.
 
Hello all, a buddy of mine and i are heading to Washington for Columbia blacktails the end of next month. With rain being a likely constant, how or what do some of you suggest for anti fog?
Many good ideas offered. The best one was calling the optics manufacturer to ask their specific recommendations. The lens coatings are the heart of the optic performance today as much as the actual glass itself. While there are a very small number of glass manufacturers and glass compositions, there are as many coatings as there are scope manufacturers and scope tiers. Coating life is essentially the life of the scope. Not worth the risk to use a product on the lens/coatings that my shorten the coating life in any manner. Application technique, including lens cloths, can also be as important. Protect the coating, protect the scope. Just a really, really old guy's thoughts.

No way I would dare put any of this stuff on my scopes. But if you buy the higher-end Bushnell Scopes you don't have to worry about fogging anyway because the higher-end Bushnell Scopes are all completely fog and rain proof.I tested the Bushnell fog proofing against a whole bunch of other Scopes this summer by taking the rifles directly out of the air conditioning into the hottest most humid part of the day. all the other Scopes fogged over so that you could not see through them, only the Bushnell Scopes were still usable for taking a shot.

Agree...I bought the NF cleaning kit for that very reason. I know every product in there is safe to use. Their anti-fog solution has worked for me.
 
It took a couple of days but Nightforce answered my question with the fact that they use Fogz Off for their lenses and this is what is in their cleaning kits.
You can find it here.
