How Anti-fogs work
Mask fogging results from warm humid air inside the mask meeting a lens surface cooled by water. Warmer air is capable of holding more water vapor (water in gas form) than cooler air. Therefore, when air is cooled, a portion of its water vapor condenses into tiny liquid droplets, or “fog”. McNett® Anti-Fogs prevent fogging by creating a thin, invisible film on the lens which creates a “sheeting effect” - eliminating the formation of condensation droplets.

To minimize mold and algae build-up, rinse your mask with fresh water after each dive and allow it to dry completely before storing. Store your mask in a hard case to protect it from dirt and abrasives and also to protect it while traveling. Avoid leaving your mask in the sun or resting on your head prior to a dive – the heat will cause a spike in the mask’s temperature which contributes to fogging.
