Stream2Sea Kit Mask Defog with New Mask Scrub Kit | Reef Safe 0.5 oz Travel Size Mask Defogger & 0.5 oz Mask Scrub | Anti Fog Spray & Scrub for New Snorkel Mask, Scuba Mask, Goggles by Stream2Sea

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’.

I am new to swimming and just bought my first pair of goggles. I thought they were dirty inside so I cleaned them…really good. After that they just kept fogging up. I bought this b/c it’s eco safe and made in USA. I got it, and in just a few steps my goggles were better than new! It’s been several swims now, and lenses are clear and haven’t fogged up yet. I will buy this again, and I brag about it at the pool.

Likes: keeps goggles fog free and nice and clear the time you put it on, and the time after, but the third time they start to fog and then after that the effect is completely gone.I HATE that the instructions say to put it on with your finger because I am already seeing my nice new goggles get small scratches from doing this. So it’s okay and it works, holding up in durability for a couple of swims, but I wish there was a small pad or something that came with it so the goggles didn’t scratch. For this reason, I probably wouldn’t buy it again because using the product exactly as directed is ruining my Arena brand goggles that I love.I know it’s not anything else because I keep my goggles in a case between uses and I only swim in a lap pool. The scratches are round/circular and exactly the shape of how I rub, I’m not rubbing hard and I’m not really even doing anything other than spreading it around on the inside exactly as the instructions direct. So for that reason, I don’t find the value being worth it.

I was skeptical at first that it would work on defogging my dive mask. I got a new mask, and no matter how long I rubbed the lens with Dawn dish soap, it still fogged badly (even tho its an antifog mask). I put SeaDrops, my normal go to, and it still fogged badly. I normally burn the lenses with a lighter as I found thats the most effective in my experiences, but this has an interior special coating, so I didn't do that. I was afraid to use the paste because the snorkel says do not use toothpaste on the lens just dish soap (but soap wasn't working, even after repeated, multiple applications over several days!), and even the box of this Stream to Sea product says to not use the paste on coated lenses... but I did, nervously, well-prepared of the chance of ruining my interior lenses because that's how important it is to me to be able to see when I dive. I don't recommend others do this on coated lenses, but in my personal experience, I'm glad I did. I used my treated mask along with the provided defog bottle and it finally worked beautifully, 2-3 hours straight, surfacing, resurfacing, did not need to apply defog a second time. It was crystal clear the whole time and I was pretty amazed. In my particular case, my interior lens has not been damaged either. Again, follow the directions and heed warnings for your own masks. But I am a believer in this product and highly recommend.

Je fais de la natation 3 fois par semaine avec un masque et tuba. J'ai utilisé d'autres produits mais celui là est le meilleur. Je lave mon masque à l'eau de vaisselle après usage ert j'essuie mon masque après. Par la suite je mets le produit sur la lunette du masque, je rince une fois à l'eau froide très légèrement et laisse sécher le tout sur le comptoir jusqu'au lendemain. J'ai une lunette de masque très claire et pas de buée .Le meilleur produit en ville....

So I swapped from good old spit which had always worked well for me but is a bit gruesome, to this. The first dive I chickened out and also put spit in, my mask was so streaky I couldn't see much. Used this the next few dives and it was perfect. A drop on each lens, squidge it about, add a wee bit of water then leave sitting until you are ready to dive. Empty out the excess and put it on.

Bought for my wife. She said the first time she used it she squeezed out way too much because she was used to the another product. Now she knows, she figures it will last ages. Very good product.

Does exactly what it says - stops my goggles steaming up during open water swims. I can actually see the marker bouys on the course now!

This anti-fogging agent worked perfectly, and we had no fog on our snorkelling masks
