Disconnect the small hose from the main hose; and try to keep the end of the small hose dry.

Agree with Chunky's suggestion.

I wonder what idiot designed those snaps--especially that they face IN??? They would be very difficult for anybody with hand issues.

However, they are NOT delicate. They can take it, so if you need to exert force on them, don't fear breaking them.

Whenever I wear my Wisp mask, I have always found it easiest to just disconnect the short tube as chunkyfrog suggested.

That said, it is easier to undo the clips if you push up at the rear of the clip.
