SUBEA TRIBORD EasyBreath Full Face, Anti-Fog, Hypoallergenic Silicone Facial Lining Snorkeling Mask with Snorkel Secure Lock

The Tribord EasyBreath 2016 is a awesome mask! I have bought 4 for a trip to the Florida Keys. We have only tried them in a swimming pool so far but they don't leak or fog and you won't choke on any water which is great. Objects do appear a little closer than they actually are but only by a couple of inches.The vision is crystal clear you can see every particle in the water. Breathing seems fine I do try to pace my breaths if you have breathing issues I could see that it may feel restrictive but if you are healthy there should be no issue. I am trying to purchase 2 more but have come to a roadblock as each time I order one they are sending me one with a ripped off serial number, 2 separate companies through Amazon have done this so far iTEK and 5 stars seller. I never would have known they had serial numbers but I had ordered 4 already so when the others came packaged differently and with the serial number ripped off the tag I new it was wrong. I have read about these being a Chinese knock off product that is why I am so adamant about having a serial number. I give the product 5 stars but the companies selling them 1-3 stars.I added a picture the one on the right has a serial number the one on the left does not both came from iTEK.

This mask is simply the best. My partner and I tested this TRIBORD and a SEAVIEW 180 (last year's generation with a curved lens, as opposed to a flat lens). TRIBORD was better in each and every respect. Before I proceed, however, I should say that I do not know how newer models of SEAVIEW 180 (with a flat lens) compare to this TRIBORD.GREAT VIEW: The view in TRIBORD is amazing and sharp clear even over long distances underwater. When snorkeling I would often see things that my partner (wearing the SEAVIEW) wasn't able to see. One time it was a giant barracuda at around 20m distance (attached on the photo). I was able to spot it in my TRIBORD, but my partner only saw it later on the pictures. The TRIBORD mask doesn't get scratched, and that is part of the reason why it fares so well. SEAVIEW's curved lens got scratched all over pretty quickly.NO FOGGING: Breathing in TRIBORD is easy through the nose or through the mouth. No fogging at all. In fact I was even able to talk while wearing this mask, and there was still no fogging. Panting, fast and strenuous swimming, and diving = still no fogging. SEAVIEW was just as good at the beginning, but 3 snorkeling sessions later it started to fog very badly. As we later discovered, it happened because the rubber lining on SEAVIEW got tiny tears that leaked water and affected temperature inside the mask (thus, producing condensate).COMFORT: The TRIBORD mask is incredibly comfortable, especially when compared to standard (non-full-face) masks. It keeps water out very well (I had no problem with leaking water either while swimming or while diving). It is easy to put on, and it stays in place firmly. Its only drawback is that the mask is pressed against the face too much (and the pressure increases when you dive). Thus, if you snorkel for too long and do it day after day (as we did on our snorkeling trip), your chin and jaw will hurt from applying pressure on them every day. Mine hurt quite a bit for a couple of days after this vacation. This, however, was NOT too much of an inconvenience (again, especially compared to standard masks where you have to constantly clench your jaws to bite on the breathing tube). SEAVIEW was just as comfortable.GREAT QUALITY: The TRIBORD mask (mine, at least) is very well-made. The rubber parts feel good, high quality, and durable. The plastic parts feel solid as well. All the valves are in place and function wonderfully. My only concern (and so far it didn't come true) is that the breathing tube will break in the place where it attaches to the mask. To attach it, you have to "click" it on, matching a hole on the breathing tube to a plastic knob on the mask. The "click-on" lock is pretty tight, and the breathing tube's plastic seems rather thin. I can imagine it cracking in the future, so perhaps it makes sense to order replacement breathing tubes right away.SEAVIEW's plastic and rubber parts feel cheaper when compared to the TRIBORD. Also as I mentioned earlier, my partner's SEAVIEW got torn (rubber) and started leaking water after just 3 days of snorkeling.CONCLUSION: the TRIBORD is a great mask, perhaps, the best one on the market. As any product it has its flaws (because of the pressure it applies to your face, it can hurt your face after prolonged use), but its advantages far outweigh those — especially when compared to other masks on the market. It is well made, it is easy and comfortable to use, and the experience and views are amazing. It also wins when compared to a (last generation curved lens) SEAVIEW: views, quality of details and durability are better on the TRIBORD. In general, an advice for all those who (like my partner) is looking for a curved lens: in our experience the flat lens is much better. I'm guessing that's the reason why all the full-face mask brands switched from curved lenses to flat lenses.(this is an honest comparison; my partner & I paid for both masks in full)

This is an amazing product! Works extremely well; surprisingly does not need any form of anti-fogging (yay no spitting!) because it actually defogs itself. So nice to not have the big cumbersome mouthpiece of traditional snorkel sets, and I really appreciate not having the pressure around my eyes and sinuses. Works great in calm waters. Interestingly, it often felt just a tiny bit loose, so I kept expecting water to leak in a bit, but it stayed totally dry. Also, just seems way less gross for sharing gear. My family was taking turns heading out snorkeling from the beach with the older kids, so I could pass along this equipment without handing over something all slobbery (never liked the idea of sharing a mouthpiece, even it has supposedly been washed)That said, there are a few disadvantages to this style, so I will also keep my old traditional snorkeling gear for certain circumstances:Because it has a much larger surface area, it is a bit more prone to being yanked around by large waves, either in generally rough water or getting past surf. Also You can't dive down more than about 3 feet with this mask because it holds so much air.*******BUT THE BIG CHALLENGE IS COMMUNICATION. Above water, you have to take the mask completely off to be heard by anyone you are snorkeling with. Even if you are only a foot away, as it is impossible to be heard while talking in this mask. It can be annoying to have to completely remove this very large mask just to tell your snorkel buddy to say "hey check out that octopus hiding under that ledge", when they can't tell what you are pointing at. Getting this large cumbersome mask back on after just a sentence or two is challenging while treading water and getting sprayed with ocean in the face.AS CONVENIENT AS THIS STYLE WOULD LOOK FOR BEGINNERS I WOULD STILL ENCOURAGE ANYONE NEW TO SNORKELING TO START WITH A TRADITIONAL SET, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNICATION ISSUE. I also got one for my 7-year-old kid because I knew the mouthpiece of a traditional set would be hard for her, but ended up having her use a traditional set because you need to be able to explain "my flipper is falling off" or "I'm getting tired" to your snorkel buddy without struggling to take off your mask, and then getting ocean water in your eyes and mouth. For parents taking kids out, not being able to communicate with your kids easily is frustrating, so even experienced snorkeling parents may want to wear their old sets when helping young kids and flip to this extremely comfortable alternative when the kids are on the beach.
