Great Product and very effective
Wanted to give this a try after observing few kids using this on our recent beach trip to Florida. I wanted to buy one for my special needs son but wanted to buy one for myself and try before attempting to use it on him. This works great and does not fog and let water into your breathing space. Any water that comes in when you go totally under water accumulates at the bottom and is not a problem. Though it is uncomfortable in the beginning you get used to it after couple of tries and is very practical and usable. Mainly no fogging and helps you with a clear view unlike the goggles. The only con is it is a bit heavy and little uncomfortable to put it on and adjust but these are minor issues and I would not count it against the product. It functions exactly as expected and described. Would highly recommend.

Great product
My son begged for this. We were goin on a cruise and he felt he had to have it. I'm not gonna lie I thought it was stupid. Well while in the Grand Turk he brought it off the ship and to the beach with us. The waters were crystal clear. My son started letting the others in our group use it. Me still feeling like whatever this is stupid I tried it since he was urging me too do so. It was the coolest thing he ever asked for!!! I felt so bad for telling him it's a dumb thing to buy lol. It didn't leak and was big enough in the face you could see everything under the water. This was an awesome but and now others in our group are buying the same one for our next cruise!! If your looking for one of these this one is great!!! No complaints at all!!

Easy breathing, no fogging, but must assemble every time
PRO'S: I used this mask to swim laps in a pool so quite a bit of heavy breathing. Lense always stayed clear and breathing was simple. Water does get into the mask around the chin area, mainly when fully submerged and breathing out, but it somehow clears itself out. There are times where the water would get up to my lips, but again, it would eventually clear out. I was able to swim non-stop for approx 1 hour with no complications.CON: it doesn't travel conveniently. Anywhere it's 5 pieces - the mask + 4 attachments that all must be assembled and disassembled before/after every use unless you just want to carry around, outside of the bag, fully assembled. If that part doesn't bother you, than this is a great buy.

Great mask and snorkel!
Totally rewriting review after using. This mask worked great! Easy to put together and take apart for travel comes with a travel bag. Able to shallow dive to retrieve things without getting water in the snorkel. Great visibility. Husband and I very happy with these. Recommend and would buy again if needed.

Tubes will eventually fall off
I bought two of these in June 2021. They worked very well at first. As my wife an I used them again, we noticed that there were some issues. The tabs that hold the tubes in place had loosened and so one tube rotated freely. Also while using the masks in our pool; we both noticed that at times the mask would not allow inhalation without a strong exhalation first, or breaking the seal. We love the 2 tube design, but will not purchase another set due to the fragile design of where the tubes attach to the mask. We got our money’s worth out of them, but it would have been better had the design been more durable. (Recommendation is for buyers to pay close attention to how tubes attach/detach.)

Looks awesome, feels awesome!
Got this for a vacation trip coming up and this one specifically caught my eye because it’s not the same as other snorkeling masks. I have yet to try it out in the waves but the design is just unmatched compared to other masks, which only have the antenna-like snorkel.Moving on to the fog portion, I have to say whoever designed this thing is a genius. Even having it on for over 10 minutes to test it it didn’t fog a bit. I believe it didn’t fog not because of the material of the mask, but because of the exhaust system and placement on the mask. The mouth portion is sealed off, making your exhales go directly out the center front of the mask, and when you breathe in, it closes the front and opens the intake tubes. It’s very similar to the M50 gas mask that the US military uses.The mask comes in pieces, so you have to snap everything together. It might seem sketchy like your going to break the thing, because you have to apply a lot of pressure to snap the tubes together. As long as your careful, they won’t break.I have yet to test it out so I will update if anything goes south.UPDATE: The mask held up for two trips!! Absolutely a good choice for a snorkel mask

Pretty neat unless you like to breathe
Cool design but terrible execution. When I tried it out in my living room I could really breathe in and out very well and I thought it would be amazing. I bought it way before I actually needed it. When I finally took my awesome mask out for a swim it was completely disappointing. The mask has terrible suction for one thing and it's hard to get a good breath. Plus, when you breath out the air comes out through the vent by your mouth and the bubbles block your view. I bought three of these and all of us had the same issues. I was past the return window by the time I used them so now they just sit on a shelf waiting to be sold or given away. I feel bad trying to sell the horrid things.

First Time Snorkeler
The media could not be loaded. This mask truly worked, we used it for Shark's Cove in Hawaii. I bought 3 of them tested them in different beaches in Hawaii but was truly used for hours in Shark's Cove. Tubes worked even when completely submerged the water does not backflow into the mask. We are first time snorkelers and this gave my 11 year old son (who doesn't swim) so much confidence being in the water he was able to enjoy the beaches so much. I bought 3 and my husband lost his, we were at a sandbar and he took it off and placed in on the rock and a wave took it. So sad that one is gone but I wanted to leave a great review to let everyone know this is of good quality and it does what it needs to do. I recommend it, it made our Hawaiian trip so much more fun and memorable.

Great Idea, Poor Execution
I have spent many hours in the pool doing laps. And for the last several years I have been using a mask and snorkel allowing me to swim consistently without having to worry about stopping to breath or getting water in my mouth when trying to push myself. So to say having a mask and snorkel are valuable tools is an understatement to me.When I saw this concept of not only having two hoses but also not needing to have a rubber piece in my mouth, I was excited. Unfortunately for all functions this mask has I have to say they have failed almost all of them.1) Part of being an avid swimmer and using swimming as a workout is being able to push yourself from time to time. When doing this you need to be able to take in more oxygen and get rid of it just the same.a) The tubes even though they look big enough don't take in enough air. The structural frames and more specifically the seals inside the tube lower the volume of air that you are able to breath in and I find that more often than not I have to stop and catch my breath because there isn't enough coming in. This of course reduces my ability to swim at regular speeds let alone pushing myself harder to increase my workout.b) I read the reviews saying that when you are in the water and you are trying to breath out there is a resistance when breathing out. I had read the reviews and wondered if this was as bad as people made it out to be. It was worse! When people were using the mask it always sounded like a vacation trip or something, not something to be used as a tool on a consistent basis. When you are only going under the water for short durations the breathing out is an annoyance not a problem. If you are keeping your head under the water for 45 minutes to an hour when you are doing laps the breathing out becomes a problem.a+b) As far as air flow goes this mask fails completely. You can't take in enough oxygen and you have to force what you do have out. This does not lend itself to this mask being a usable tool long term.2) A couple of the reviews I read complained about the bubbles being in your face when you breath out, and they were not wrong. In the pool the bubbles are not a concern for me on the visual aspect, they are a concern because as you are swimming, they are popping in the water right beside your ears. This not only becomes a problem when you are swimming because it becomes very loud and distracting, I have also notice that I have had to stop a couple times and take the mask off just to get the water to drain out of my ears. If I had continued plans to use this mask I would be considering some sort of water safe ear plugs as I could see this giving people ear problems if used over a long period of time.3) Like I said, I really like the design and having the ability to seal my mouth and nose away from the glass keeping the fog down to a very minimal amount is a really nice design. Where this fails is the straps on the back of my head. Getting this thing on is quite frankly a pain. Sticking your head between two cloth strips that are almost too tight to put your head through is not good choice or at least it wasn't for the mask I got. I did notice that if I had to stop and take the mask off for any reason that when putting it back on the straps were looser but harder to tighten from behind your head. I noticed this when I tried to put the mask back on and would find it losing it's seal around my face when under water.If I had designed this mask, I would have done the following.A) made the pipes out of one solid piece of plastic, right from the mask itself to the top of the pipe. This would have eliminated the need for structural reinforcement inside the pipes, and more importantly eliminate the seals and the restrictive holes that reduce the airflow being breathed in by the user. I'm not sure how to help the air output from the mask as being above water isn't as hard to breath out as it is underwater.B) I would make is so the material of the mask whether is the rubber seal of the material currently used as the straps to hold the mask to your face was extended over the ears. If nothing else this would prevent the bubbles from causing discomfort and or even worse problems with the ears. I would personally be willing to have a full head cover attached to the mask and snorkel if it provided both sound deadening and protection of my ears while I'm swimming. As of right now even if the airflow was better this may prevent me from using the mask in a pool.c) I would personally prefer the locking system that holds the mask to your face be straps that have a lock (like that on a life jacket) that not only locked itself to the other side of the mask but had a strap system built in very similar to a standard snorkel you would use to pull the strap tight. This to me would make more sense as you would lock the mask and then tighten the straps. There is also less chance of this coming loose as the current mask has on me several times currently.I will repeat that I like the idea that this mask represents. I like the thought of being able to use a mask that I can see and breath through. But to me the design of the mask failed to keep up with the needs of the people buying it. It's hard to breath in, it's hard to breath out and the sound from the bubbles when you breath out is both distracting and a possible risk to your ears when using the mask in a pool when the bubbles hit the water and sound like it's boiling or pops in your ears. At the present point in time i will be going back to my old mask and snorkel.

Learn traditional snorkelling before buying a full mask
Since I bought the product, I’ve read about the dangers of full mask snorkels, and build up of CO2. I encourage anyone to review this info before considering this product (I didn’t know full mask snorkelling was a controversial issue before I bought it)So, why the 4 stars?1) I’m an experienced swimmer2) I tested “on the surface only” as my main sport is supposed to be long distance swimming, not fun snorkelling adventurer.3) It was A LOT more fun than traditional mask/snorkel.4) it was a perfect fit even with a full beard (surprising)I’ll likely change my rating to 5 star if my activity camera that I ordered will work with the mount.My recommendation is to be aware of your surroundings when open water swimming, be sure to avoid any fog in the view part, and leaks, make sure you’ve done some traditional snorkelling.I would not recommend this product to inexperienced swimmers/snorkel
