I have always used regular snorkel sets when we go to the beach. We live on the west coast so the bay is far calmer and ideal for snorkeling. When my friend had this set I had to get my own. I am so glad I did! It takes the stress of snorkeling, swallowing water, foggy mask out of the equation. I was able to peacefully snorkel and not once did I get any water in my face or did I accidentally swallow sea water. Every single person in our group loved using it, we were like little kids fighting over who had next. I do recommend that you measure your face and get the right size. I ordered the large because I tend to have larger face frame and it was a perfect fit. My friend that had a smaller face was able to use but did have the same suction that I did. I like that it has a automatic stopper so whenever I did dip lower then the water line I didn't get any water in my mouth at all. I wish they made these smaller for my daughter who is five to be able to use. It came with flippers as well which was a good addition to this. The flippers were a little stiff but very well made and are adjustable to fit anyone's size. It also comes with the netted bag which helps with keeping it dry and in one place. Overall would highly recommend. And we've had our friends order while at the beach because they loved it and wanted their own.

This little kit really is amazing. I needed a new snorkel mask, and decided to take a risk and order one online. It fit great, and worked amazingly. I used it for two weeks strait, using it multiple times per day (sometimes 10x or more per day). The seal around my noggin never faltered, and there was no fogging (if you make sure that the mask is the same temperature as the water, it's almost impossible to fog it. Regardless, it didn't fog.)

The great part about this kit is that it comes with the lil' flippers. They're definitely travel-sized, but make a pretty considerable difference. They are suuuper easy to move around in. We were at Sharks Cove in Hale'iwa HI - famous for it's snorkeling, but also famous for having super shark rocks that you have to navigate to reach the aforementioned snorkeling. Normally you'd have to carry all of your gear along these demonic rocks, but I was able to throw my mini flippers on and walk along the rocks (facing forward, mind you) with ease.

If you're looking for a great kit with superb quality at a great price, look no further. I personally own five of these full-faced masks (for the fam) and this kit is the best one we have. We've got $100 ones, $20 ones - but this kit is the best.

We used these in Hawai'i and snorkeled every day! They work perfect. No fogging, no salt water in your mouth, no leaking, fin and booties fit great. Excellent purchase. And we're glad we didn't rent in Hawai'i, it was nice to have our own gear.

My wife and I were taking a trip to Hawaii and we wanted to try these masks out. I thought the review were pretty mixed but for the price, we gave it a shot. Other family members had bought similar styles of mask, but different brands. At the end of the trip, everyone liked ours better over the competitors. I had bought a large/xl size and my wife got the s/m.

Mask: I love the design of the mask. Whenever we were out of the water, we had tons of people asking us about them. There is a cool factor to them for sure. One thing that we both liked is the straps are a nylon/fabric material. One complaint about some of the other masks my family had was that the rubber straps pulled their hair. I was super worried about the mask leaking but both my wife and I had zero issues with it. The only time I had water come in was a trickle of water would come down in when I dove under the water a little bit. The view is awesome in these masks. We didn't have any issues with distortion. My parents had bought masks that had a tint and they said it caused them to see their own reflection as they swam. It was pretty comfortable to wear. One tip I would offer on the mask, is you don't need to tighten them as much as you think. The first day I went out and it was fine without adjusting. The second day I decided to tighten it a little bit and it was too much. It pressed the mask too hard against my face. After I loosened it up, it was great again. The snorkel portion does a good job keeping the water out. We snorkeled in a cove that was really calm and also in another bay with some large waves. Sometimes I had waves come over my head but I didn't have any issues with it. The seal works great. I just made sure to shave before my trip. Even with a little stubble I was still ok.
Fins: I know a lot of people complained about the fins but I really liked them. They are nice and portable and got me where I needed to go. Some people complained about deformity but I didn't have any issues with that. The nice thing with them being so small, my wife and I fit everything into a backpack when we went down to the beach. They are nothing fancy but I liked them.
Cons: The only complaint I have about the mask is you need to limit the amount of time you spend in the water. I know it can vary with people, but I found my max was about an hour. The reason being is that I don't think enough oxygen cycles through the mask. I think that after awhile, you are breathing in quite a bit of CO2. The first day I had been in an hour and a half and when I got out, I was pretty light headed. You don't notice it until you get out. If I was in for about an hour with the mask, I was fine.
The other con is that although I dove down under the water, there isn't a way to really equalize your ears so there is a lot of pressure if you dive down too far. I know others have noted that as well.
Conclusion: I would recommend these masks if you want to try something different over the traditional equipment. They really are a lot of fun I think the mask design works pretty well. I think you get a good product for the price. My other family members that bought more expensive mask returned theirs. We are keeping these for sure!

This was a great device and worked really well in a cove in Bermuda. I loved it. However, because it's full face, if the top float gets sucked down, you have to remove the whole mask and not just surface and remove the snorkel to get air again. I know, you normally just blow, but if you just finished exhaling and get hit by a wave, there's no air left to exhale. This could be my lack of experience.

Anyways, the mask provide a great view, it's an awesome device, and I recommend it to anyone that likes snorkeling.
