I can't see a thing through my binos, sometimes!

They fog on the outside. I've never heard of the soap trick. I'll give that a try, thanks!

Then take your mask off when using them!!
The stuff I buy for welding lenses would work. Same with gun scopes, try not to breath on them when bringing it up to position.
I'll try and find the brand name.

This is what I was going to say and its good advice. Practice getting into the habit of not breathing on them when you're bringing them up to your face. It takes practice but eventually it will become habitual

Thanks. Last year, I started holding my breath when I take off the bino covers and raise it to my eyes as a few times, I noticed when I breathed on them, it made them fog up more. I also try to keep them away from my eyes sometimes when I'm hot as this makes them fog quicker.

To clarify, the fog is on the outside and I hold my breath when I take off the covers and raise it to my eyes (otherwise my breath fogs them up even more). I try to keep them away from my face when I'm hot as that fogs them up faster. Seems the fog really comes when it's raining out - damp and humid I guess. I'm wondering if a "high performance" or "expensive" pair will not fog up.

No, this result will not change no matter how expensive the binos are. This is just cold versus warm and damp. The heat from your face and hands, plus your breath will fog them up. There are a number of coatings to reduce fogging, but results vary on weather, etc.

Use a soft clean wipe to clear off fog.

Actually, external fogging can be curbed a great deal with Rain-X spray/cleaner. I use it religiously, works great, and the rain beads right off,,,Canadian Tire has it
