What the Anti-Reflective Coating is - is a metal oxide coating process that is applied to both sides of the lens. Standard mask "glass" allows about 86% of light through to the mask. When you have the Atomic Ultra Clear optical lens (standard on all Atomic masks) along with the ARC coating...

Ok, the mask fogging thing has already been covered - clean it more and if it still fogs clean it again and if still fogs, send it in- we will clean it or replace it. Something in the bonding process can leave a film occasionally, but 95%...
