Mares Viper

Amazing mask, well fitted and feels comfortable

Now I will admit that I have a "mask face" and have rarely found a mask that didn't fit me well enough to make a seal. This mask, however, is without a doubt the best fitting mask I have ever used. I've been spearfishing, freediving and scuba diving for more than 15 years and have tried Alot of masks. To test it out I laid on the bottom of a pool with the strap OFF my head and blew a steady stream of air out of my nose, the air evacuated from the mask around the top of the skirt and near the nose but the mask didn't leave my face. I do alot of freediving and spearfishing and I absolutely love this mask. It's very low volume so equalizing it uses less of your very valuable air. I do have to note that it does restrict your peripheral vision a bit, you will struggle to find a low volume mask that doesnt. It's the nature of the beast. If you want less volume you're going to have to live with a smaller field of view. While being low volume the glass isn't so close as to touch my eyelashes which drives me crazy with a couple of my other masks. It's also extremely comfortable. It has a smooth skirt without the 2nd inside lip that every other mask on the market has. I was a little nervous about the smooth skirt but it must be the key to this masks fitment, it is AWESOME. I don't get mask squeeze and the red ring of stupidity. I have recommended it to numerous other divers and they've had great success as well. I did wish that they offered a mirrored version but while spearfishing I prefer clear glass, if sharks come around its better for them to be able to see your eyes. If they know you see them they are less likely to come much closer. Make them feel challenged, stare them down like a confident predator and they usually shy away. If you're a freediver, give this mask a try, you won't be disappointed. I've attached a photo for reference, don't be jealous, just get out and fish!

sent it back only because the view is way to small. Fit was perfect. Nose area was soft and easy to pinch. everything about this mask is very cool. I just felt for me the view was more restricted than i'am used too.

This is a very comfortable mask. You barely need to breathe in and it seals tight to your skin. Doesn’t leak at all. I typically do hour training swims in the pool and it stays sealed, doesn’t leak or fog. Of course you have to burn and tooth paste it several times to clear the the silicone off the mask. Then just use baby shampoo to clean and as an anti fog. The strap is very comfortable and vey thin. But strong even to hold my snorkel easily. Very good vision especially bottom and beside you. The quality is excellent, , the is no extra lip inside just a smooth are around the edge that seals to your face. Also there are no reflections from in side the mask. Awesome buy.

Beautiful mask. Look to be very well-made. I was excited to try it out and tried it on out of the water and hurt my face in certain areas pressure on the bridge of my nose and around my cheeks and that was where it just loose on my face, so I knew it wasn’t going to be a good fit for me personally. I didn’t get to try it in the water so I can’t comment on it fogging leaking or anything else water related. I just went off the fact that it hurt parts of my face so I said no and sent it back.

I bought one of this mask and my Husband loves it , I recommend it, the quality is amazing, is comfortable, the vision is clear.

I was looking for something lighter/more packable to travel with and frankly this is about the same as the freediving mask I already had, but it looks cool and seems sturdy so I'll hang on to it. I've only used it for snorkeling so it hasn't been deeper than about 20 feet. It doesn't have a conventional skirt but still seals well on my relatively slim face and was comfortable for a couple of hours. It was fogging at first but after rubbing the lenses with toothpaste that stopped. Field of view is similar to Mares Star.

Goggles are great, work well, and are low volume which is good for freediving. I docked 2 stars because the pair they sent me A) Took a really long to time arrive, about a month and B) the case latch came broken, and the broken piece was not found in the packaging/shipping material they sent, which leads me to believe it was already broken when they shipped and sent them.

Great, quality, fit. I use it for long distance swimming in temperature down to 0 degr. I can't have an opinion on it as a diving mask, since i don't use it for that.

Great mask, actually my second pair as first I gave to my son,so now we can snorkel and dive together.Soft,thin and good fit.Low volume.Dicent fild veiw considering that is made for freediving.Light too.

pour moi c'est mon binôme par exellence pour la plongée et l'apnée

Hervorragende Apnoemaske, welche einen sehr angenehm zu tragenden Maskenkörper besitzt. Sichtfeld ist gut, durch den geringen Abstand Auge - Glas. Besonders zu erwähnen sei der tiefliegende Verbindungssteg zwischen den Gläsern, so dass die Maske auch bei höherem Anpressdruck nicht mittig zwischen den Augen am Schädel drückt. Außerdem sieht sie einigermaßen cool aus, was bei Tauchbrillen eher selten der Fall ist ;-)

Me gusto mucho solo que si es para una cara pequeña mi hermano la intentó usar y no le ajusta bien
