Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fireform" data-source="post: 1354029" data-attributes="member: 65457">In years of using Es, EIIs and SEs, I've had exactly one fogging incident.  I live in south Florida, where we get 60" of rain a year, have high to very high humidity much of the year, and I'm often wading while I hunt or birdwatch.  In that instance, I had my EIIs out in a torrential rain on a swamp buggy and was quite careless about covering them up.  Had I been careful about keeping the rain guard on or tucking them inside a jacket (part of the problem--I was caught without a jacket) they would not have fogged.  I got soaked enough that afternoon that my wallet was completely waterlogged and had to be emptied and dried.  A couple of days in a warm, dry place and the fogging was gone.These bins will not fog unless they really get wet.  Reasonable care is enough.</blockquote>
