MASK AND LENS CARE

Your ARMOR™ mask Has a single pane polycarbonate lens that has been treated with a Thermo-Cured Anti-Fog coating. More information on the lens is provided in the next section of this manual.CLEANING

  • Clean your lens within two hours of any contact with paintball fills or residues. Remove the lens from the mask to ensure that all surfaces of the lens and the mask are thoroughly cleaned with clean water.
  • Use only clean warm water to clean the lens. DO NOT USE any other products or cleaners, as they could contain substances that may damage or weaken the lens, or reduce the Anti-Fog effect. Change the lens if it has come in contact with chemical products or fumes.
  • To dry the lens, simply air dry, or use a clean soft cloth or micro-fiber on the outside of the lens. DO NOT RUB THE INSIDE OF THE LENS. DO NOT USE  substances that could scratch or dull the lens, like newspaper, paper towels, or clothing. It is normal for the anti-fog coating on the inside surface to go through a tacky phase while drying. To dry this surface, blot with a soft clean cloth and let it dry. Do not rub the inside, as it will streak, and you will have to begin again.
