Binoculars-Black Marks.



I know this may come as a shock to some of you but when we get hot weather i.e. sunshine I'll often wear light coloured shirts instead of the obligatory green, brown, comoulflaged or a mixture of all three! My problem is the black rubber armouring on my binoculars leaves a nasty black stain on my shirts. this only happens in hot weather, does anyone have a solution...apart from wearing black shirts? or tying a hankerchief round the offending parts.


I used to have a pair of Opticron binos that did something similar in very hot weather.... never really did anything about the problem but I suppose I could've wrapped black electrical tape or something similar around the bino's.

I suspect that'd be even worse - that tape leaks glue something shocking in hot weather!

The black stain should come off easily if you get the shirts dry-cleaned.

To avoid it in the future, move to the Northumberland coast, or join Edward in Iceland. It never gets hot enough here to cause this problem.
