Dive Mask Fogging

Wouldn't a dive mask work better than swim goggles?

I have both. The goggles are theoretically fog-free, but they fog anyways. They leak, even when tightly strapped on, and it's hard to see out of them anyways.

My dive mask never fogs, it feels much more comfortable, and it also keeps water out of my nose. Also, I can get corrective lenses for it that are much cheaper than prescription swim goggles.

The only drawback to dive masks is that it makes swimming too easy. That's why I force myself to swim without anything, goggles, masks, or nose plugs, on occasion. But, if you're going to 'cheat' by wearing something, why not use a dive mask?

I'm asking because I seldom see anybody at the pool with a dive mask, but almost everybody wears swim goggles.

go with the mask, why suffer????

The name is apt because, with the push of a button, an air-freshening fog rises out of the Clean Air Genie and fills your vehicle with a fresh odor neutralizer. Like magic, foul smells and stale odors will disappear from your car?s interior. The Clean Air Genie is a new air cleaning technology that doesn?t just mask odors ? it permanently eliminates them. If you?ve left wet clothes or towels on your backseat and mildew has set in, the Clean Air Genie gets rid of that smell forever. Did a smoker ride shotgun? The Clean Air Genie?s penetrating fog will neutralize that stale smoke smell in the air and the seats. Your vehicle?s interior will smell fresh, even if some of your passengers are not! Pet owners, you have to try the Clean Air Genie. Even if your pet has left an indelible scent inside your vehicle, the Genie will remove it in just one treatment. The Clean Air Genie?s unique delivery system sets it apart from ordinary aerosol fresheners or scented cardboard cut-outs. The Genie releases a fog that fills up the entire interior. The process takes only five minutes but the results are long-lasting. This is a permanent solution to auto odors from the same company that makes Clean Air Everywhere and Clean Air Duct Treatment. Here?s how the Genie works: Shake the can well and remove the lid. Set the can on the floor of your vehicle in the backseat. (It should be on a flat surface without anything directly above it.) Roll all the windows up. While keeping your face and body away from the fogger, press the button firmly and close all the doors. Go have a cup of coffee. By the time you get back, the fog will have dissipated (about 5 minutes). Open all the doors and let the vehicle ventilate for another 5 minutes. The scent is fresh and clean, but it will be strong initially. As the neutralizer scent fades, the interior will just smell clean, not perfumed. The Clean Air Genie releases a dry fog. You will not have damp seats or carpet. The Genie will not leave a film on the inside of your windows or mirrors. The fog is proven safe on all interior surfaces, fabrics, and materials. We received an initial care package of Clean Air Genies at the office for the staff to try and everyone raved about this stuff. There are a couple of dog lovers on staff who were particularly impressed with their new clean-smelling interiors.

How to Prevent Mask Fog

Choosing a Paintball Mask

If you are going to play paintball at all, whether seriously or just for fun, you will absolutely need a good quality paintball mask. The biggest risk in playing paintball comes from not wearing the proper eye protection while on the paintball field. Sun glasses, ski masks, safety goggles, and shooting glasses are all completely inappropriate for playing paintball safely. The sport of paintball has been around for a little while now, and there are paintball masks that are manufactured appropriately to strict industry standards to adequately protect your eyes and face. Do not settle for anything that wasn't manufactured to withstand the force and speed of a paintball pellet.

When choosing a good paintball mask, make sure that the mask you are looking at has a wide field of vision. You need to be able to use your peripheral vision appropriately on the field to protect against corner and sneak attacks. Without your peripheral vision, you will be toast. The other thing to check with the mask on is to make sure that you can see comfortably through your gun sight. If not, you probably won't be able to hit the broad side of a barn. If you wear glasses, make sure to find a mask that fits comfortably over top of them.

The best material you will find for a paintball mask is thermal. A thermal mask protects against fogging up. These masks are actually make out of a dual layer mask with a small cushion of air in between them. These thermal masks will always perform superiorly to a single layer mask with an anti-fog film added to it. This is because the anti-fog film of the second type of mask will wear away after a short time. Save yourself the money of continually replacing your mask by buying a higher grade mask to begin with. In the end, your eyes will thank you.

Keep in mind the type of stress that you will be putting on your paintball mask. Most players will be running, jumping, sliding, and crawling through goodness knows what out on the paintball field. In order to keep up with you, your mask needs to fit both comfortably and securely. If it doesn't stay on while you are maneuvering around through the brambles, it won't be able to provide the protection you need to keep your eyes safe. There should be adequate cushioning around the outer areas of the mask to keep the mask on your face as well as to keep in comfortable when you go for that bone jarring dive.

On the paintball field, you mask is your number one piece of equipment - not your gun. Your mask is the only thing standing between you and what is a potentially life threatening injury. Skimping on eye protection is never a good idea. Keep these tips in mind when shopping for your first or next paintball mask. You will hopefully never know how glad you are that your mask functions exactly as it should.
