Do tweeters have any good suggestions on how to protect binoculars in the
rain that are not water-proof? I have a very nice pair of binoculars and
can't afford to get another one just now, but it's not waterproof and I find
myself out in the rain on scheduled bird counts a lot lately. I'm getting
worried about messing up the optics if some water gets in there. Are there
any products that can help with this or homemade solutions, will most binocs
do OK on their own, or do I really just need to keep them out of the rain?
