Is toothpaste treatment recommended for these masks to prevent fogging?

Yes, use toothpaste (or any cleaner with pumice) to remove the protective film when you first get it. Then defogger before each dive.

Hi Mel,The MSA website is not very clear about what these cartridges protect against. I have been using them for a while to avoid the unpleasant smell of lacquer thinner solvent - it works very well for that purpose, so I bet it will work fine to avoid the smell of Chlorine/bleach. You may want to contact MSA directly (http://us.msasafety.com/Air-Purifying-Respirators-%28APR%29/Filters-%26-Cartridges/Advantage%26reg%3B-Chemical-and-Combination-Cartridges/p/000100001100001210)

I have not noticed any fogging issues. However, I have not used the device in any extreme temperature differences, i.e., hot day/cold water.

I used to do some wood carving with rotary tools. This got wood dust flying everywhere. I would say this mask isn't the best to protect against the wood dust either. None got in my eyes but when I took the mask off after a while because of fogging I noticed there were bits of wood dust settled inside the goggles. And of course with enough wood dust settling in the goggles it would have eventually caused me to lose a certain amount of vision.

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.

According to the instructions on this product, it should not come into contact with your skin, so I wouldn't use a fogger.

Depends on what kind of glasses you are wearing, but as a general rule yes, they do fog easily (especially in cold weather). Just get a cheap bottle of Anti-Fog and wipe your glasses with it. That should solve your problem just fine.

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

No problem... in fact it actually could make things better if you're in an area of high humidity summers... should help to minimize fogging a bit.

I have one of these foggers but have never tried peppermint oil in it. If you have a Home Depot store near you that does tool rental I would rent one from them before you spend the money to buy one. Try the peppermint oil in it and see if it works. We use our fogger from mold remediation. good luck

If the chemical warnings include "Do not inhale," then no it isn't advised. In general, just to be safe, the answer is no, unless you are wearing the proper safety equipment, such as a respirator. Read the warning label for any chemical you put in the fogger. It will always give you the correct answer.

They don't make a seal around the eyes so we had no issues with them fogging up. It wasn't humid the day we used them either

I bought this specifically because the half-face was fogging up my glasses. This mask has a good seal, and I have had no fogging issues what-so-ever.

When I cover my mouth and nose with a mask or scarf, the breath will sometimes back up into the goggles and fog. But otherwise, these are clear goggles that work really well

I am so accustomed to wearing a snorkel, I haven't noticed that it impairs vision at all. I wear goggles every swim so, I would say its safe to wear a mask.
