For the best experience, 1) we start with our manual. Follow the instructions for the best experience.

2) Allow the mask to acclimatize before use to avoid large temperature differences in the direct area.

3) The mask must fit snugly and firmly against your face to ensure optimal performance.
Think of it like a diving mask—if it doesn’t seal properly, water gets in. Or like a freezer door—if it’s left slightly open, it won’t stay cold.

Make sure the nose pad sits comfortably on your nasal bridge (septum) and that the facepad seals evenly all around. This prevents air from escaping upward toward the lens, which can cause fogging—especially when there’s a temperature difference between your breath and the environment.

Ensure the head strap is tight enough to keep the mask stable during active or intense movement, but not so tight that it causes discomfort. A good seal between the goggle section and the facepad is essential for keeping your lens clear and your vision sharp.

4) Also be sure that the used batteries bank or powerbank is full of power and from the SMP brand. 

Yes, you can — but the fit and airflow may vary for each person depending on the helmet type.
Make sure that the fan unit has enough space to draw in air properly. Airflow can be restricted if a helmet cover blocks the fan intake or if the helmet presses directly against the fan housing.

The mask and fan need to “breathe” freely for optimal performance.
If you notice your helmet pressing on the fan or reducing airflow, use a Helmet Spacer (part #54). This ensures the fan always works efficiently, even during longer or more intense use.

Always follow our manual for the best experience and results!

Always know that a battery bank with 4pcs AAA will drop voltage over time. The powerbank does not have this matter and keeps stable on 5 volt (the best performance for the anti fog fan). We always advise to change the batteries after 10 hours of using it to be sure. But the lifetime of the batteries really depends on the brand and conditions of the batteries. You can check this page to get a better view of the lifetime.

No – We really recommend the SMP power bank for the best performance and results for the mask. This has to do with the different types of power banks on the market and their unique properties. Our power bank is made for the requirements and performances of the SMP mask.

Always follow the instructions in below manual step for step  for assembly or in reverse for disassembly our powerbank.

YOUTUBE TUTORIAL

When do you use which color lens?

Transparent:

This has the advantage that you can see everything well of course, even in low light. So always a good choice!

Yellow or orange lenses:

When the sun is shining brightly, it is nice when this is dimmed a bit more and it has the advantage that you can still see enough with less light. These colored lenses are especially suitable for low light and indoor skirmishes or training.

Dark lenses:

When the sun is shining, this is of course very nice and can be compared to sunglasses.

Note that when you use this indoors, you will see a lot less.

Yes – the SMP mask is designed to allow proper aiming and scope use. However, depending on your gear setup, some users may experience slight difficulty aligning their eye perfectly with the scope.

This varies per person and depends on:

• Your body positioning and shooting stance

• The height and eye relief of your scope

• The stock type of your replica

✅ Solution:
If you’re experiencing discomfort while scoping, we recommend trying a 0-degree drop stock adapter. This accessory slightly lowers the stock alignment, improving eye-to-scope positioning – especially popular in Airsoft setups. SMP can provide this drop stock adapter and have it for sale in the webshop (screws not included).

With proper adjustment and positioning, the SMP mask can be used comfortably with most optics.
