Atlin Snorkel Mask [Full Face] for Adults, Teens and Kids, GoPro Compatible Snorkeling Swimming & Underwater Mask with 180° Panoramic View Anti-Fog, Anti-Leak with Adjustable Head Straps

I really, really love this snorkel mask. It fixes some of the issues I had with a previous one I bought from a different manufacturer. The biggest thing I like is the strap system. It is very well built and is NOT made of rubber! Rubber straps will deteriorate and are usually the first thing to tear or break on any snorkel system. This mask has some type of stretchable "cloth" that is very comfortable and easy to put on.The other one of these that I own (from another seller) is difficult to put on because you have to take the straps and reach behind your head and snap them together with a plastic connector. There is nothing like that on this one! There is nothing to connect or close. It has an "X"-shaped strap system that stretches and you just slide you head in. It was super easy to get on and it feels really comfortable unlike the other one I have.The face has a protective clear plastic film on it that you are supposed to remove. I didn't read anything about that in the instructions though.Also, the instructions don't include any directions for using the Go-Pro connector. It is really easy to figure out since you just slide the connector over the snorkel before you attach the snorkel to the mask. Then you connect your camera and use the included hardware to secure it.For people who have an extremely hard time swimming with a regular snorkel in their mouth, this is the perfect solution. You just put it on and breathe normally through your mouth or nose! It really is that simple. This is not designed to dive under water. (With a regular snorkel you can dive under water and when you surface, you just exhale really hard to blow the water out of the snorkel.) However, I have used it to do small dives under water because the snorkel has a ball float at the top that is designed to block off any water if you go under. The only issue with going all the way under water is that you DEFINITELY have to HOLD YOUR BREATH! If you try to breathe while submerging, you will not be able get air and it will just cause the mask to have a lot of suction and really put pressure on your face. So if you are going to try to submerge with this system, just remember to hold your breath. You would normally do this with a regular snorkel, but with the freedom of being able to breathe normally with this mask, you might forget to hold your breath when diving.

Decent mask. The view is great, and it feels pretty comfortable. I definitely like that it’s a single snorkel and mask all-in-one so I don’t need to hunt for parts. I also think the colors are cute and you don’t have that silly line across your cheeks after snorkeling that a traditional mask leaves.However, I always experience a little bit of leakage around the top and I make sure all my hair is out of the way so I know that’s not an issue. I think this is a fit issue. I bought the L/XL. Measurement-wise my face is basically right at the 4.7" mark and I'm an adult female, 5'1" tall about 140 lbs. I’ve tried a small (different brand) which we had gotten for our son and it was too small. All of the full faced masks have the size cutoff right at 4.7” so they’re probably going to have similar fits. But, I wish there were 3 sizes with overlapping measurements.Additionally, I feel a bit winded after swimming maybe 15 minutes. Based off info from other mask descriptions this is apparently an issue with the full faced masks. I’m guessing the exhaled air doesn’t empty from the mask and snorkel adequately so when you inhale you’re inhaling a bit of old air. (Just a guess.) I used to snorkel a lot with the traditional snorkel and masks and never had this issue. This could also be a fit issue where the middle flap doesn’t create a seal across my cheeks and air mixes between chambers. I haven’t noticed a fogging up issue tho, so not sure. If it’s not sealing well whenever you inhale you’re pulling in air from the entire mask not just the bottom chamber and snorkel.Another problem which may be related to fit is that I can’t blow out the water that’s leaked into the mask. You’re supposed to be able to blow hard to push out water that will pool by your mouth, the same way you blow out water from a traditional snorkel. I always have to raise my head out of the water and either lift the mask or let it drain on its own which it does but slowly. If the upper and lower chambers aren’t sealed off from one another well I may not be able to create enough pressure in the lower chamber to push the water out.Although I’ve listed a few issues with this masks’ fit, this particular mask does fit a little better than one from a different maker as it's just slightly more narrow and seals a little better around my face. Everyone’s face is shaped differently, tho, and I don’t consider my face to be narrow or long in shape.Overall, I wish there were more size options, and I also wish the product descriptions gave more detailed sizing information so that I can better determine if the particular mask I'm buying would fit my face and face shape. As for the breathing/feeling winded issue the snorkel tube seems wider than traditional snorkels. Maybe making the diameter of the snorkel smaller and/or reducing the size of the lower chamber so that less air is re-breathed people wouldn’t feel winded as easily.
