OptiOut's Ski Rx Insert Anti-Fog Coating Care Guide

Follow these steps to maintain optimal anti-fog performance and lens clarity of our anti-fog coating technology.

 

1. Daily Cleaning & Storage

• Use only a soft, clean microfiber cloth.
• To clean: Wipe gently in one direction. For smudges, dampen the cloth with water and a tiny drop of fragrance-free dish soap, wipe, then rinse thoroughly with a water-dampened cloth. Air dry completely.
• To store: Only store the insert when 100% dry. Use the protective case and keep it away from heat sources, humidity, and chemicals like perfume or sunscreen.

 

2. What Will Damage the Coating (AVOID)

These actions will permanently ruin the anti-fog layer:

• ❌ Never wipe with paper towels, tissues, regular towels, or your fingers.
• ❌ Never use glass cleaner, alcohol, disinfectants, or abrasive chemicals.
• ❌ Never expose to high heat (e.g., car dashboard, hairdryer, hot water).
• ❌ Never scrub the inner lens surface vigorously.

 

3. Practical On-Mountain Tips

• Wear anti-fog ski goggles / snow goggles.
• Wipe external snow off with a dry cloth before it melts.
• Direct your breath downward and away from the lens by adjusting your face mask.
• Ensure a small gap for ventilation between your goggles and helmet.
• Let the insert air dry fully after use before packing it away.

 

4. Understanding Anti-Fog Performance

• The coating works by spreading moisture into a thin, clear film.
• No coating can prevent 100% of fog – extreme temperature/humidity changes and breathing habits significantly affect performance.
• Proper technique (breath control, ventilation) is as important as the coating itself for staying fog-free.
