Phantom AquaticsRapido Boutique Collection Clareza Panoramic View Tempered Glass Lens Snorkel Mask | Mascara De Snorkel | Premium Dry Top Snorkeling Set

I purchased two of these for my honeymoon trip to Playa del Carmen. They were listed as one of the top masks for 2017 in articles I read. I have to say, I really liked this mask and snorkel! They are comfortable and work great! The field of view from the mask is amazing, compared to masks I have used before. The sides of it are clear, which make for a more immersive snorkeling experience (as opposed to masks that have the "porthole" view). There was some distortion in the optics on the side, however, but it didn't bother me because that is normal for underwater. The mask fit good, and kept the water out for the majority of the time. I did have some water get in on occasion, due to my hair getting caught between the mask and my forehead. Be sure to move your hair out of the way! I also had issues with fogging from time to time. The lenses do not have anti-fog coating on them, so that is a small issue and the reason I took off one star. At first, they did not fog up, but as we went to different swimming locations (beach and natural cenotes), where the temperature was a little more on the cold side, then they would start to fog. (possibly due to me exhaling from my nose by accident a few times) I purchased some Quick Spit spray, and that only seemed to help for a little while (10-20 minutes?). I even spit in them, and that helped a bit. But, for the majority of the time, the glasses stayed clear, and I loved them! They definitely fogged a lot less than others I have used in the past. (I'm thinking about trying some GoPro anti-fog inserts inside the masks next time,or the dried toothpaste trick...I'll see how that goes!)The snorkel itself was very comfortable to use and hold in the mouth. It has nice, soft rubber that you can bite down on, and a flexible tube that helps curve it towards your mouth without resistance. I had absolutely no issues with water getting into the tube and having to blow it out! After using rental ones, and cheap plastic ones in the past that would irritate and even cut your lips, this was worth every penny for me.I would purchase these masks again if needed! But do find a way to reduce fogging before you take them on an important trip!

Oddly, I get zero fog the second time I go in on the same day. I'm probably doing something wrong. But... These are crystal clear and the snorkel is superb. I wear glasses and the frame fits perfectly in the mask (big time bonus, I was thinking up ways to attach the frame/lenses to the mask). To be clear, these are my spare glasses and I've removed the ear pieces from them: the mask isn't designed to work with ear pieces coming out of it.The quick detach snorkel mount is great.

Nice mask + snorkel, I would have kept it if it fit. I think my face was too small for this mask, it kept filling with water and I’ve never had that issue. It is pretty wide in comparison to my old mask, so I think it just couldn’t seal to my face as well. Would recommend for larger faces, men probably.

Got this as a back up for a trip to St John and actually used it as my primary for 8 dives and snorkeling all week long. Comfortable, great vision all around. If it fogs use a piece of a "magic eraser" on the inside lens area. No need for tooth paste which will turn the color of the clear skirt.

These fogged up constantly and they hurt my face. The top caused bruising on my forehead right above the bridge of my nose. I had to strap them on so tight to keep water from coming into the glasses. The snorkel portion, however was wonderful. I love that you can dive with it and not worry about purging the snorkel before you can breath again. It worked really good. Goggles didn't bother my husband but they did fog up a lot. I have a smaller face maybe that's why mine didn't fit well.

I haven't snorkeled since I was a kid but with my upcoming vacation to Belize decided to go all out on snorkeling equipment. I went on the internet & did my research & the top two is this & the Atomic Aquatics SV2. The SV2 is about $15.00 more and appears to be the Rolls Royce of snorkels & it definitely looks the best but there were some negative reviews & it's only semi-dry. Why would I want semi-dry, I don't want any water to get in. This snorkel is well built (Made in Thailand), and has a flexible lower shaft. The snorkel mask clip slides up and down which is a great idea. The only nit-pick is that the soft mouthpiece is a little small for an adult mans mouth. Wish they incuded extra larger mouthpiece. Can't wait to try this out in the ocean.

It's the most amazing mask really, "only" problem is that unless you use toothpaste as dee fogger, you won't be able to see anything and it will fog up fully in 30 sec.If you do use toothpaste, it's the clearest view under water I've ever seen and you'll have a wonderful dive! - I just don't think that corals and aquatic life likes that the ocean is mixed with toothpaste and we need to take care of the environment, so that's a no go!

Bought these for my scuba certification and for general snorkeling. Fit and vision is good. Snorkel works very well. Remeber to get some Sea Buff to cleaner new lenses. If you don't clean the left over residue from manufacturing you will have fog issues.

I've always preferred a mask with side-windows and recently broke one I've had for a few years. This mask fitted the bill and offers more visibility than my previous mask.Many divers prefer low profile masks as they take less gas to clear. If diving in a strong current divers worry about a high profile mask, such as one with side-windows, catching and becoming dislodged. They also tend to offer better visibility compared to 'normal' masks. I've never had an issue with masks with side-windows in a range of conditions. I even removed and replaced my mask towards the end of the second dive to ensure that I was able to do so safely. Ok the water was 11°c so my face got a little chilled, but having passed it around my back I had no problem refitting & clearing it.I've always hated having to twist my head over my shoulders to check around me, hence a preference for side-windows. It also helps when you have to watch over more than one other person in the water.The yellow edging works well with the colours I have in my kit. The yellow fins, BC and mask help my buddy/ies to see me in the water. This reveals another pet hate I have: All black! Why? Come on everyone, have some colour in your dive gear.Having had a couple of dives with it I am very happy. I cleaned the mask prior to using it with toothpaste, remembering to clean the silicone as well as the glass. It didn't mist up, although some of the silicone around my nose and face appears to have misted up a little (photo by buddy shows this).On the surface the mask gives me good visibility, with no major gaps between the windows. Underwater, with the effects of refraction, there is a little gap between the lens. This is to be expected and wasn't an issue for me.Having read the comments about the snorkel getting blocked I decided to take it with me on the dives. Admittedly I've never liked flexible snorkels with dry-valves and stoppers to stop the water from getting in, so I never had any intention of using it normally. On the two dives I've done I stuffed it down the side of my cylinder and checked it after I'd got out of the water.The dives were to 17m & 18m for around 44 minutes each. The stopper had not got stuck in the hole and appears to be doing what it is intended to do. Basically when you're on the surface the stopper should float up to block any significant amount of water coming do the tube. This will happen if your head is too low or waves are splashing over your head.One improvement could include a box for the mask, rather than the bag. On a crowded boat the box can protect a mask better (hence why my old mask got broken).For the longer term I'll be watching the latex joint between the side windows and the main window. I also need to consider getting some corrective lens stuck in the mask so that I can read my gauges a little more easily, mainly my watch as the computer & contents gauge are Ok. The lenses may help with the compass too, but most of my dives don't require that.Here's hoping that this mask lasts for as long as the previous mask. :-) (about 20 years)

I was curious about a mask with the "side windows". When trying outside of the water, everything looks good. The view angle is wider than on my old, "normal" mask, mask sits well. The mask has just right size for me (I'm a 1,83 m man with a "normal face"). I would like the mask would be a bit bigger . It has to be on the right place on my face. If it is a bit higher or lower, it would then push on my nose. But I can still use it like this.When going under water, then what I see from the "side windows" is with wrong angle and things are not where I expect them to be. Perhaps I will get used to it. Good thing is that the mask did not get steamy during 1,5 hour of training and I did not have to do any special operations to it. I only spread some tooth paste on the glasses and left it this way for couple of hours. Then I just washed the mask and it was ready to go. So overall the mask is good. No problems with leak. Only the size thing and the side vision angle problem. But I guess all the panoramic masks have this angle problem.The tuba, which came along is a good normal tuba, if you like tubas with breathing out valve system. The valve did not leak . This tuba has a protection against letting water in. When the tuba is fully under water then there is the system that closes the tip. So no water comes in.This tuba has the flexible part between the mouth peace and pipe. When swimming fast, water presses on the flexible part and mouth muscles are under tension to keep the tuba in the mouth. I find this irritating. That's why I prefer the old school tubas. But other than those problems I find this set is a quality product.

Really nice mask and snorkel but not convinced about the panoramic bit, the join in the lense causes parallax - not good for diving, my suggestion for designers to increase vision would be to have a rounded lens like snowboarders or pilots have.

I bought these before I went on holiday. They worked very well. I was able to snorkle in the sea, a fair way out and enjoy the coral reefs.Unlike other snorkle googles, they fitted my head well and didn't let in water.

Ordered two sets of these for my husband and my self for our family holiday, great to use (or so we were told by our grown up children 30,29,26 years old). Shame we didn't actually get to use them ourselves.
