Mark T I have two questions:
#1 I bought this mask and it came with no instructions/tags or documentation so I need to know if I should be pre-cleaning this mask with toothpaste before using, or does it come with an anti-fog coating that toothpaste would rub off?
#2I thought it was coming with a neoprene strap, as is in the picture and on the Cressi webpage. It came instead with regular rubber/silicon straps. The mask's buckles are too narrow for the neoprene straps I already have for other masks, so.. what gives? Was I supposed to get a neoprene strap included? If not, do you have neoprene straps that fit the narrow buckles (n.b. I don't want a neoprene cover for the regular straps).
BART B I cleaned mine with toothpaste or a cleaner after it seemed to fog some without cleaning it in the pool. My recollection is it was much better after cleaning.
No neoprene straps. I believe I finally got a neoprene strap to work but it was very difficult to get it through the narrow buckles as you noticed. Other than that, great value and decent mask, not the best but very good.
JEFFREY P I bought this mask a couple months ago. I did use toothpaste on it before using it and had no fogging problems but don't know if it was necessary or not.
Mine did come with the strap cover like in the picture so I would think one should be provided to you from LP.
SAL M #1. I did not pre-clean my mask w/ toothpaste. I had no problems with fog while using the mask.
#2. When I purchased my Panorama mine came with a neoprene strap, however I do not use the straps. I did purchase the black mask. When looking at the new description it does not show/list a neoprene strap.
If you have any more questions let me know
