    I don't understand how 'Caps' work to keep your breath from fogging up the lens when put the scope in front of your eye to take aim. The scope doesn't fog up just sitting in the open..it fogs up when condensation hit the glass.

    I have had it fog because of the heat coming off my body, I had to sit the gun on my lap with the scope away from me to keep it from fogging up this past december.

    As for fogging when you bring the gun up, yep, just hold your breath when you shoulder the gun then breath, that seems to work for me more often than not.

    Ive never had that issue.

    Where I have had issues with fogging is when the gun, particularly on those -1, rainy, wet snow miserable days and the gun is resting in my lap. The caps prevent that very efficiently. I also had a time where I was pushing, and I had the buttstock and rear of my scope tucked under my arm for a time. When I bumped a deer and raised my rifle, it was foggy.

    Quit being such a mouth breather? Lol


    Had this happen before, was able to still make the shot. But now with clear ones I keep them closed I'm ready to shoot, have shot many times with it still closed on wet/snowy days
