Keep Your Mask From Fogging

Wednesday July 11, 2007
The first sign of trouble is the sweat running down your face. As your face heats, you can almost feel the sweat evaporating and clinging to your lens. In a matter of minutes your fully functioning mask is as transparent as wax paper and you can't see your own gun, let alone an opposing player. While you really don't have many options at this point, there are a few things you can do to prevent your mask from fogging in the future.

The most efficient way is to spend the money buying a thermal lensed mask. Adding up all the money with other products like spray, which washes off, and batteries for a fan add up to be expensive. Thermal lensed masks are also more durable with better quality, thank you for reading.

This is the best way I found to prevent fogging. Make a diluted solution of Johnson’s baby shampoo and water, and put it in a small pump bottle. Spray the lenses whenever you need to. The shampoo will not harm your eyes, and the soap content will prevent fogging! Scuba divers use this technique as well.
