The rifle scope is fog resistant because to be "fog proof" would mean that the rifle scope will not fog on any of the lenses and that is near impossible. Fog will not build on the inside of the optic because it is waterproof and nitrogen purged, but fog in some instances will collect on the outside of the lens. The only way to avoid that would be to apply some sort of coating that may degrade the optical clarity. The glass and rifle scope are manufactured in Japan, but we do not have information on the specific company manufacturing them.

"Japanese" glass is actually pretty good. They have always been well known for providing good clear glass for optics for years.
