History
lesson on the NO-FOG® Mask;
The NO-FOG® Mask is the original "High Performance"
breath deflector mask for snowmobiling. Basically there
have been several series of masks produced by us over the course of
time. The original inventor and vision wizard who also happens
to be our chief engineer, is a "hard-core" snowmobiler
who used to fog up constantly. It didn't matter what the
temperature/humidity was outside, his
eyeglasses, helmet
shields and/or goggles
would always fog-up!
After careful analysis he knew the "trick" to it all had to be
an ergonomically-correct breath deflector mask you'd wear on
your face. Also important was that it must be warm, comfortable
and easy to wear in cold weather climates situations.
But the
dealer said this helmet would work...
Over time many helmets have come with deflectors but usually
they do not work
properly......especially with eyeglasses & are
uncomfortable. Some helmets now have electric
visors... that
hamper night-time visibility because your actually looking
through a
conducive matrix film & people have complained about the annoying glare/tint
at night this kind of shield has.
While others sometimes don't always
work completely at sub-zero temperatures (depending upon the 12 volt electrical current
output/RPM of your machine),
not to mention the plugged-in
cord. Still people will open the shield a
bit to try and prevent fogging. The draw-back is that when the
temperature's below zero, the last thing you want is extreme
cold air circulating inside helmet, possibly causing frost bite
or watery eyes limiting visibility! Something to think about
with opening your helmet vents.
Really a no
brainer!
So that leaves you
with our unique solution, the "NO-FOG®
Mask." A snowmobile specific mask which becomes part of you....not the helmet!
Because breath "fog" comes from you
(nose & mouth).... not your helmet!
As we need to prevent helmet fog (through effective breath deflection) before it starts to
happen. Not worry about it after fog appears by "trying" to melt or blow it out
(venting). And to get a 100%
breath deflection "seal
at the source," something must be worn on the face.
Definitely not a deflector fastened to the inside of a helmet
which could leak as soon as the helmet moves while riding
a rough trail or turning your head in the woods to look back at your buddy!
And
finally....
So after literally thousands of hours researching the human face and the
way we breathe, NO-FOG® (Gen. 1) was conceived and test results were good. Product was
produced and readied for the immediate snowmobile season. After
repeated enhancements over the years, constantly updating & adding
features, we now have a state-of-the-art breath deflector in Generation
7D. The ergonomic
fit, feel and function far exceeds anything else we have made before.
This "all new" NO-FOG® Mask conforms to your face, cheeks and
chin like no other. The new softness built-in will provide all day riding pleasure.
Compared
to other masks & breath deflectors on the market, including
"rubber" helmet breath
boxes or a "one size fits all", our
latest 2008 #007D NO-FOG® Mask is very, very comfortable. Look for the
all "new" NO-FOG® Mask at better snowmobile dealerships to ensure the
very best in "Advanced Breath Deflection Technology™."
