Ski shops sell anti-fog cloths and anti-fog sprays for ski goggles. 
Should work for binoculars, too.  You wet a corner of the cloth 
slightly, then rub it on the outer surface of the lens.  This works 
even when the lens is cold.

Now if I could keep my glasses from fogging up when I press them 
between my face and the binoculars on summer days when the 
temperature is warm and the humidity is 95%!
