rain x on high end glass? what do you use?

[lwing]

hi there
Does anyone have any negative feedback, i've used it on med and lower grade scopes with decent results for a seaon and now have upgraded to a keeper.
Would extended use long term have any effect? Product says do not use on glass with scratch resistant coatings.
Looking for some feedback for the wet coast, any other solutions you use for condensation, snow, rain?
thanks in advance.

What kind of scope? Most factory high end ones have a factory rain coating.

Yep, other high end scope makers even warn against over frequent lens cleanings, as "even with proper lens pens, cloths etc.", this can erode expensive coatings used on the lens. I'd do my research thoroughly before slapping rain x or anything else on a lens. Just my $0.02.

Swarovski, still get condensation, don,t want to be wiping it in the field.

Swarotop and Swarodur coatings on lens exterior. I would strongly suggest to not use Rain X on those. A good investment may be Butler Creek caps, even if only the objective cover.
