I have not had a chance to test it, but the other night I went out hog hunting with my 14 and did not shoot anything. It was a very humid hot night so I cranked the ac and started home. I get to the house to 2 yotes running off and I quickly killed the engine jumped out and started a few calls, I got them to come in and picked up the gun and couldnt see shit for the fog on the lense. I remembered I put the protective covers on it and I am assuming that they are what caused the fog. Surely the 14's lenses by themself are fog proof???
On a side note, I had national geographic at the house this evening. I walk outside to screaching and there is a huge owl that comes right toward me and drops a snake about 10 feet in front of me. Then about 4 little owls start flying all around me. I think that the big one was teaching them to hunt, bc the snake was still alive and about 3 foot long. It was kinda cool to watch. |
| Thermodynamics is a reality of life....learn to deal with it. FogTech on the lenses helps. I also ditch the occular lenscap during humid weather on a non-2way range...a single wrongly directed breath, and one will be fogged up for a little while. Lens cloths in one's pack are also madatory. |
| Like others have said that's just the way it is when going from cold to hot. Or hot to cold. When I get to Navasota ( 45min drive) I usually take my nods out and let them sit for 20-30 minutes or so to let them stabilize with the temps. Same thing when I elk hunt in CO. We all leave our guns out in the weather, so our scopes don't fog up in the mournings. |

Just to add one more thing - Fogging on the outside of the PVS-14 is normal. Fogging on the inside is not. If you clean the lenses and find it's still foggy, you may want to get it serviced and purged. :) But I agree with the above comments. From your description, I would expect the fogging to be entirely external. You can get anti-fog chemicals ( What is cat crap? I assume it's some anti-fog stuff by why is it called cat crap? ) or even wrap your eyepiece with a little cling-wrap and an elastic band if it's bad enough and you're expecting it, though that works only if you're breathing on it is the problem. You can also buy demist shields for many different NODs. Regards David |
