There's really no need to defog until you put the regulator in. In theory (and hopefully in practice too) you dont have your mask on until you are at the door, ready to go into the fire building. At that point, all you need are open ears to hear your officer, or to hear truck telling you to go in. When its time to go to work, put your regulator in, and your mask will defog within seconds.

Just one of those phisicks things they taught in skool.
Kiwi,
We can see that you are in rare form today/tonight. But then again I guess you are allowed to be touchy when you are always having to worry about falling offStupid People.......Providing Job Security to Public Safety Professionals for ........forever

I don't wear a mask at all. I have found that two hoods, if worn properly, will filter out all of the bad stuff.Fire Lieutenant/E.M.T.

Honestly....just deal with it...its going to happen...nothing you can do. In a job, the outside of the facepiece will get weat, steamed up, and caked with soggy ash, sheetrock, plaster, insulation and what ever else.....just use your gloved hand and wipe the crap off...and carry on.IACOJ Member

That problem comes with all air packs. Survivairs do the same thing and I'm sure drags do as well.
I tried rubbing the inside of my mask with the the anti fog wipes they sell for windshields one training and it did the job, but then again I would be wary of the ingredients in any product that you rub on yourself or your equipment before going into a working structure.
FF dies of full thickness burns to the face, neck, and throat after rubbing an alcohol based automotive anti fog product on his air mask is not something I can say I would be thrilled to see on the first page of this website.
