STREAM 2 SEA Mask Defog, Reef Friendly Defogger Coating Anti Fog Mask for Glasses, Snorkel Mask, Scuba Divers, Ski Goggles and Sports Glasses Equipment

Brilliant. Keeps the swim goggles perfectly clear. Highly recommended

On July 1, 2022 I purchased “2 oz. STREAM-2-SEA reef friendly Mask & Googles Defogger”,,, along with a pair of “OMID Comfortable Polarized Anti-Fog Swimming Goggles” (smoke, all black frame). I swim open water (quarry lake) 3-5 x’s per week during the warmer months, swimming non-stop for 60 to 120 minutes. I’d been using “Vanquisher 2.0” goggles the past several years but, despite correct adjustment, they would always begin digging into my eye sockets after an hour or so, and left me with a bad case of ‘raccoon eyes’. I decided to try out the OMID goggles, seeking greater comfort. The OMID goggles feature softer, larger eye cushions that are dramatically more comfortable. They truly do provide greatly-improved panoramic vision. The inner surface of the contoured plastic lenses have their own anti-fog coating, but such “factory coatings” are notoriously fragile and soon lose their effectiveness. I bought the 2 oz. Stream-2-Sea to help assure that the OMID goggles could remain fog-free as long as possible. Out of the box, I first gently washed the new OMID goggles with a minimal amount of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo (BS), --not their newer “Head to Toe” formulation. They are similar, but not the same. SEE MY PHOTO’s showing the slight differences in their published ingredients. A Word of Caution: When washing plastic-lens swim goggles, you always need to be as GENTLE as possible. A little particle of sand being rubbed across the lenses can scratch the heck out of them, permanently. OK,,, I rinsed my new pair in room-temperature tap water, then applied the smallest amount of BS, and used the slightest finger pressure possible, then rinsed them in the tap water. My tap water leaves ‘spots’ when it dries, so I do a final rinse with some distilled water for a spot-free finish. Once dry, I applied one drop of the Stream-2-Sea anti-fog gel to each inner lens and used my wet finger to GENTLY spread a thin, uniform coating. I then added a tiny amount of distilled water to each lens “cup” and swirled it a few seconds before pouring off the water. I allowed them to air-dry to a clear, streak-free coating, and then put them into my ‘swim bag’, ready for use. I swam 90 minutes in the 83F lake water that next morning. The goggles never leaked, and they never fogged up. The polarized, fog-free view was so much better than before. I finished my swim and I immediately put them into the OMID carry bag that came with the goggles, being careful to not touch the lenses (there’s no clean rinse water available at the lake). Once home, I washed my hands to remove any possible sand particles (which can scratch the plastic lenses) before rinsing the goggles thoroughly under tap water. Then I dabbed a tiny amount of BS onto each wet lens and used a modified* Q-tip to gently clean their fragile inner surfaces. (* I get a Q-tip and pull the cotton to stretch it longer, then use the stretched portion to gently go over the lens surface.) I then rinse the goggles with tap water, followed by a distilled water rinse. Before they dry, I use the Q-tip (or a tiny, soft-bristle artist brush) to paint a uniform coating of the Stream-2-Sea anti-fog gel onto the inner lenses. To smooth out this coating, I add some drops of distilled water to make a little ‘puddle’ in each lens cup. After a few seconds of swirling, I pour off the water and check to see that there are no remaining streaks of the Stream-2-Sea. If there are some streaks, I just rinse them with a few more drops of the distilled water and check them again. Once they are totally streak-free, I ‘stand up’ the goggles to let them air dry (similar to what you do with a washed dinner plate). I’ve now used my new OMID goggles 9 times, and they are still in like-new condition. Not a single scratch, and they never, ever fog. Over the past couple weeks, my swims have included few that were two hours long(in sunny, 90 degree Heat Wave conditions). My old “Vanquisher” goggles would begin fogging up in just a fraction of that time. The Stream-2-Sea anti-fog gel, in combination with the ‘factory’ anti-fog coating on the OMID goggles, has worked perfectly for me. And, the ‘soft-cushion’ design of the OMID googles has completely eliminated the eye-socket discomfort,,, and no more “raccoon eyes”. My goggle-washing procedure may seem very lengthy and tedious when you sit there and read about it, but it soon becomes routine, taking only 5 minutes. I can now enjoy swimming comfortably for HOURS with absolutely no fogging, and it’s keeping my $26 swim goggles looking brand new. The OMID comfort goggles -and- the STREAM2SEA anti-fog gel are an effective combination for any ‘distance swimmer’.

The product works well as described! Been diving with it and no more fog ! Highly recommend Thanks!

Wir haben das STREAM 2 SEA Antifog inzwischen mehrfach beim Schnorcheln und Tauchen verwendet und sind wirklich sehr zufrieden. Vor allem gefällt uns, dass es eben nicht die typische „Spucke-und-Wasser“-Lösung ist. Das Produkt funktioniert zuverlässig, ist deutlich hygienischer und man hat kein unangenehmes Gefühl dabei, sich direkt vor dem Auge mit improvisierten Methoden behelfen zu müssen. Gerade in Bezug auf Hygiene und mögliche Bakterien in Augennähe finden wir das einen echten Vorteil. Eine Bindehautentzündung im Urlaub braucht wirklich niemand – deshalb ist mir eine hygienische Lösung deutlich lieber als klassische Hausmittel direkt an der Maske. Wichtig zu wissen: Es handelt sich nicht um ein Spray, sondern eher um ein Gel. Das fanden wir in der Anwendung sogar angenehmer, weil es sich gezielt und kontrolliert auftragen lässt. Die Wirkung ist bei uns sehr gut: Die Maske bzw. Brille bleibt klar und beschlägt deutlich weniger bis gar nicht. Je nach Nutzung hält die Anwendung problemlos für ein bis zwei Tauchgänge oder längere Schnorcheleinheiten. Man sollte aber keine unrealistischen Erwartungen haben – es ist kein „einmal auftragen und für immer Ruhe“-Produkt. Für uns funktioniert die Haltbarkeit im normalen Einsatz aber absolut überzeugend. Positiv finden wir außerdem: + einfache Anwendung + angenehme Konsistenz + kein aggressiver chemischer Geruch + wirkt hochwertig und durchdacht +gut geeignet für Schnorchel- und Tauchmasken + ehr ergiebig – für eine Maske oder Schwimmbrille reichen meist schon wenige Tropfen aus Besonders interessant ist das Produkt natürlich für Menschen, die Wert auf etwas umweltfreundlichere bzw. reef-safe Produkte legen. Bisher würden wir es definitiv wieder kaufen.
