Hollis - M1 masker, zwarte kleur

This was ordered with a Atomic Venom Frameless, and a much cheaper option, the Cressi Lince - in my search for a better-fitting mask to avoid the dreaded dive-ruining leak-fest.Spoiler alert, I ended up with the Hollis M1, but *really* wanted to keep the Venom [as well/instead of].LIGHT TRANSMISSION/CLARITY:This one came in a *pretty* close second to the Venom. They both claim to have optically clear, proprietary-whatever, ultra-white glass. In reality, the Venom was jaw-dropping, this one was not. Nothing bad here, and honestly, without the Venom to compare it to, I might have been more impressed. They both trounced the Cressi.VISIBILITY:Again, I'm going to give this one second place to the Venom, but by a much closer margin. The design is such that vertical and lateral visibility is pretty terrific - thanks to the huge sheet of unobstructed glass in front of your face. It's not winning any hydrodynamic awards for streamlining, but at least you see well! The Cressi was garbage here... with serious tunnel-vision.MATERIALS:It's really pretty nice... although I've read the strap design is kind of crap (small teeth that slip?) and may need a backup strap with more aggressive teeth. The Venom was nicer - again, not much surprise, and the Venom is significantly more expensive.COMFORT & FIT:Here's where the M1 pulled ahead for me. The Venom had a nosepiece design with a hard ridge over the bridge, that painfully dug into my nose, just while doing a mask-fitting in my studio. I can't even imagine how uncomfortable that would be under pressure down below. The seal on the M1 really just fit my [weird?] face shape that much better, so it became the only obvious choice to keep... it truly does just boil down to which-mask-won't-leak at the end of the day!I'll try to update this review after a dive trip in a few weeks, once I've tested it in the water!UPDATE (AFTER DIVING):After 4 dives in Cozumel, the review holds firm and I have no regrets with the mask... however, this one caused uncomfortable pressure on the underside of my nose, that was really pretty painful over time. The clarity was top notch, the seal was fantastic (again, even with my scruff), but I had to equalize the pressure much more while descending, and often even with depth changes as little as a few meters during the dive - just to alleviate some of the pressure on the underside of the nose.This is still my new primary dive mask, until I find something with the fit, minus the singular comfort issue.I will add though, I have a pretty large nose, so this might fit others like an absolute champ. Try it and see!

Très bon masque de plongée. Confortable et aucune buée.

Super masque le meilleur que j'ai acheté à ce jour.

Es gibt keine bessere.

He probado muchísimas máscaras de buceo, éstas son de las poquisimas que se adaptan bien a mi cara (fina) y con barba. Un campo de visión muy amplio.Sin embargo me parecen muy caras para lo que son, ya que realmente creo que no ofrecen nada que no tengan otras máscaras de 40-50€
