Once I have the little wipers, do I still need to defog the mask before the dive (i.e. with toothpaste or anti-fog gel)?

Nope you just move the little circles around to remove any fog even when you are underwater. They are great. Just be gentle so you do not lose the magnet.

I still spray a little defogger first. Not sure I need it, but do it when I do my husband's mask

No, you won't need to do anything before hand. These are great little gadgets that I would not go snorkeling without ever again.

Sure I usually do, just be careful that you do not dislodge the wipers. Once you are underwater they will defog your mask by moving them around, its' amazing:)
1760622
I would, just to ensure you get the best use of your mask. That way you are not having to constantly use the wipers to defog the mask, although it really just takes a few swipes and is super easy!

The difference is that with the wipers you can defog the mask anytime under water, but the less you have to do it the better, so I always defog it before dives.

I wear glasses and the mask is sealed very tightly to my face and all the exhaled air goes directly out the front exit port. Due to that my glasses haven't fogged up on me as of yet.

I would do a trial run with it first. My girlfriend didn't and then we we were on vacation, it leaked and we had to find another mask for her to use.

As long as you use spray shields and cardboard along with normal masking you will be fine. Keep pressure low and use correct tip.

Not at all. Matter of fact, while swimming laps, I don't need to take these off and clean them. They do not seem to fog, and are extremely comfortable. Maybe the pair you received are defective.

Do not use in the mini fog. The machines are very different and you will destroy it.

I always lubricate the o-ring before every dive trip. Occasionally, I will re-lubricate during the trip (e.g. if the o-ring gets dirty for some reason... stuff happens).

I always wipe as soon as there is a haze. "Curing" is most likely unnecessary and one good coat last for months with water still beading.

You have to make sure you buy the correct lens cleaner for the lenses, only wipe them with a dry microfiber cloth and never wipe them with your fingers. Sounds impossible but the coating works great and it keeps the fog away 99% of the time. Whenever I got some fog I just wiped in some more of the protectant(comes with the goggles) and boom good to go.

I have not had any issues with my glasses or goggles getting foggy, but I use anti fog wipes, if it's rainy or cold. I like this mask, because it keeps me warm but not hot.

With Sunglasses not so much, says my son. With Goggles, ...as long as there are no air pockets between the seal of the goggle directly on your skin and your face, there's no fogging (and you cleaned your goggles with spit --no joke). If goggles are on top of the mask, and again though, no air pockets, and put the bottom seam, (seam above and across the bottom of your eyes, and the top of your nose) put that seam BELOW the goggles, not under it. If it's under the goggles, then the breath from your nose, may fog up the goggles. Get it?

I'd recommend a facemask instead of just goggles. Otherwise, these are fine (except for the fogging issue)

You can loosen the goggles to make them less "suctiony" but the plastic seal may still be more suction than you want. It would definitely be worth a try. The mask is easy to adjust.

You need the flat seal. It's designed so that it will not wear down as quickly. By the way, I think its one of the best pool cleaners out there, and it's the only one I would buy.

While not necessary in this scenario, I suggest you go ahead and install the entire seal to act as an additional dust blocker. It really does a fantastic job and only takes a few minutes to install.

I have experienced water getting into the snorkel, and originally I thought the purge valve was leaking. When it continued after I cleaned the purge valve, I discovered that when doing the crawl I was rotating my head too far with each stroke and water was actually getting into the open end at the top of the snorkel and running down into my mouth. It was a good reminder to keep the head more or less stationary in the crawl, not rotating.

With a properly fitted / sized mask, these filters should do the job perfectly! Using a pair adaptors with the dust filters to stack over these filters' inlets should prolong their use life by capturing most of the actual paint mist droplets before they ever get to this quality vapor/fume stopper. Most claim that with the #6001 in use, you don't smell anything...not a trace!
