" ... Fits great, doesn't leak, no issues. ... "
" ... I have a fairly large head and it fits/seals well with only minor fogging issues. ... "
" ... I've paired this with the National Geographic Fit Traveler fins (excellent for comfort and sooo lightweight and short they are easily packable), but be advised that neither my husband nor I found the front mounting mask to be comfortable, durable, or leakproof. ... "

" ... Once I got this mast adjusted for my small head they work really well! ... "
" ... goggles come with a decent protective case. ... "

" ... I like that the price is quite fair for these (even though its gone up since I bought my first one). ... "
" ... fogs up fairly easily, but good product for the money ... "

" ... I actually preferred this mask to my Hollis M1 diving mask, which was at least triple the price. ... "
