[TheForge] mask vs. eyes

[Paul N]

I can only assume it isn't sealing well (which would also make me wonder 
about its effectiveness).

I don't want to sound condescending or like a know-it-all, but are the 
valves functioning? I have to wash mine once in awhile as the valves get 
gummed up and stick.

If not, sorry I couldn't be of more help. If you do solve this, please 
post the solution. (I'll surely run into this eventually)
