FAQs
Are these goggles suitable for snorkeling?
While designed for swimming, the wider field of vision and comfort may make them suitable for light surface snorkeling. However, they are not specifically designed as snorkel masks.
How long does the anti-fog coating typically last?
The anti-fog coating is designed for long-lasting performance. Regular rinsing with clean water after use helps maintain its effectiveness. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Can I use these goggles in chlorinated pools and saltwater?
Yes, the goggles are suitable for both chlorinated pool water and saltwater. It is important to rinse them with clean, fresh water after each use to remove any residues.
What is the lens made of and is it shatterproof?
The lenses are made of tough polycarbonate, which offers good resistance to impact. While durable, they are not completely shatterproof.
Is the strap easily replaceable if it breaks?
The strap is integrated with the clip close system. While not designed for easy replacement by the user, its durable construction aims for longevity.
What is the main advantage over traditional swimming goggles?
The main advantages are the larger lenses offering a wider field of vision and an ergonomic design focused on increased comfort and reduced pressure around the eyes.
Troubleshooting
Mask fogs up during use
Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Rinse the inside of the lenses with clean water before swimming. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses. If the problem persists, consider a commercial anti-fog solution suitable for swimming goggles.
Mask leaks around the eyes
Adjust the strap for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the silicone seal is clean and free from debris. Reseat the mask on your face, ensuring it lies flat against the skin without hair interference.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Ensure the clip close system is clear of any sand or debris. Gently operate the clips; if stiff, try rinsing with fresh water.
Marks around the eyes persist
While designed for comfort, some pressure may occur. Try loosening the strap slightly, ensuring the mask is still secure enough to prevent leaks. Distribute the pressure by adjusting the position on the face.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Adjustment: Place the mask on your face, ensuring it sits comfortably on the nose and around the eyes. Use the clip close system on the silicone strap to adjust the tightness. Pull the strap ends to tighten and press the clips to loosen.
- Fit Check: Ensure there are no major gaps and the mask feels secure without excessive pressure.
Compatibility:
The Orca Killa Mask is designed as a universal fit for adult swimmers. It is compatible with most standard swim caps and goggles.
Care:
- Rinsing: After each use, rinse the mask thoroughly with clean, cold water to remove chlorine, salt, and other residues.
- Drying: Allow the mask to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the materials and anti-fog coating.
- Cleaning: To maintain the anti-fog treatment, gently rinse the inside of the lenses with water. Avoid using abrasive cloths, soaps, or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the anti-fog coating and scratch the lenses. A soft, damp cloth can be used for external cleaning if necessary.
- Storage: Store the mask in a protective case or a dry, cool place away from sharp objects.
