Optics get dirty, but the Otis Lens Cleaning Kit helps you keep seeing clearly.
These days, it seems most guns are wearing optics. From magnified scopes on hunting rifles to red-dot sights on carry pistols and everything in between. The reality is that if you shoot or even just carry your guns, their optics will eventually get dirty, some a lot sooner than others depending on how you’re using them. Between range practice and daily carry, I noticed that the Holosun SCS on my Glock 26 had gotten pretty nasty, but thankfully getting it clean again was a quick and easy process thanks to Otis’ Lens Cleaning Kit.
The compact kit includes everything you need to clean a dirty lens: a mohair lens brush, a spray bottle of anti-fog lens cleaner, a few anti-fog lens swabs, a lens cleaning cloth and a pack of lens tissues. I’m not entirely convinced that the “lens swabs” aren’t just Q-tips, but that doesn’t matter; they work and aren’t the reason you buy the kit, regardless. Besides, when you run out of the ones provided by Otis, sourcing some more should be pretty easy.
What you buy the Lens Cleaning Kit for is the spray, the premium lens brush and the tissues. Not to mention the convenience of having everything you need in a handy little box.
The cleaning process is easy. First, you wipe off any loose dust and debris with the lens brush, then you give it a squirt of the lens cleaner. A little goes a long way, so the bottle should last a good many cleaning sessions. Next, you clean the surface by gently wiping the lens with one of the cotton swabs before drying any remaining fluid with one of the absorbent lens tissues. The whole process only took a couple of minutes for me to have my Holosun SCS looking as good as new.
The Otis Lens Cleaning Kit has an MSRP of $23.69, and you can usually find it being sold online for decently less than that. For the convenience the kit provides, and how many optics you’ll be able to clean with it before the bottle runs dry, I think it’s well worth that price.
