"For those that use a nose clip and want to get rid of it, this mask is for you. Its a 'free dive mask', like a scuba mask but smaller and the flange goes over the nose.
Since I was a kid, I have always had a problem with water going up my nose and would swim with a scuba mask to prevent it. This mask has a sleeker profile which is needed for free diving. There are very few swim goggles with a full flange and this is one of them. A little small, but better for me than Seals and a nose clip"ratherbesnowboarding
Ease of use
As easy as swim masks get.
Quality of Construction
Seems well built and strudy. No problems
Fit
Its a little small for my big head. I cant just put the mask on, I have to get it wet first to create the seal.
Comfort
It has a nose flange, which is why I bought it so that part is more comfortable than a nose clip. At first I thought I had to tighten it to get a better seal so it wasnt that comfortable. But I figured it out
Adjustability
you can adjust on the fly, but that an cause some issues (see above) for me
Durability
Seems to be fine
Value
About the same as other goggles
Appearance
Its differnt than what most will be wearing. Its a little bit bigger than the seals or other tri goggles.
Customer Service
Happy with the delivery time line. Had to order online b/c the dive shops didnt carry it in stock
Performance
I dont think that there is noticible drag in the water, but Im also not an elite swimmer. It is better than the full scuba mask I have used before
Strengths
The nose flange. Eliminates the need for a nose clip if you use one and find them uncomfortable.
Weakness
A little small around the cheek area and can leak if not properly sealed. A little larger wouldve been nice.
Ease of installation
Put the strap over the back of your head and place the goggles over your eyes. Done
