Wonderful full-view mask and very comfortable snorkel. Small fogging issues but better than most!
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!

Mask is incredible, snorkel, not so much..
I gave these items a test drive in the caribbean sea, and there are some mixed issues.First of all, the mask is amazing. Really high quality item, and the field of view is clear abd wide. However, depending on head shape, it might leak slightly from the bottom, but nothing too troublesome since I used it for over 45 minutes without getting out of the water, only having several drops inside.Now the bad part (for me) is the "dry" snorkel. Its a pretty inventive design, but faulty to some degree. When a wave hits the top part, or when you go down for a long period of time (40 seconds or more) the little ball sometimes gets stuck, so you are outside, in the surface, gagging and freaking out since air wont even come in (or out) ... I think I might go back to the more "classic" snorkel style, with just a simple hole.Either way, its a great purchase. Top quality mask and prone to failure snorkel. I would reccomend to anyone!

however was wonderful. I love that you can dive with it ...
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.

Large mask, probably best for men
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.

Love my new snorkel mask
Love my new snorkel mask! I snorkel every weekend and couldn't find a good-fitting mask that didn't leak. I went through at least six different masks in the past year only to be disappointed each time...until I bought this mask! I have been wearing this mask for a month with ZERO problems! No leaking! No water coming in through the snorkel or mask! It works perfectly! I'm so happy with it I'll probably order another one just in case!

Bad lense
This is a very good fit mask the problem was the lenses had a 10+ magnification. So when you looked every thing was fuzzy and not clear. Amizon recomended I contact the vendor, which I did and the cannot find the order. No hope at all, just return the product

Good snorkel set
Took these on a cruise in November. We bought 2 sets, and we both used them several times over the course of the week. Worked great, no leaking or fogging. Mouthpiece was actually very comfortable, unlike a rental. Mask was also comfortable, didn't smash my head in.

Size could be bigger, objects on sides are not where I expect, tuba puts tension on mouth muscles
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.

Excellent snorkel & mask
Definite 5 stars, took these too Menorca & one day the sea was rough. Talking really high waves & we wanted to jump off some cliffs into the sea. So we used these to see if there were any rocks in the way first. Absolutely no water got in the mask or snorkel. Obviously just as good in calm seas, awesome visibility, easy adjust buttons on the mask & silicon nose piece for easy equalisation & the purge valve on the snorkel is second to none & easily competes with more expensive sets. We bought the pink & blue ones to replace our old US Divers sets. Be advised that the pink set does not have the quick release buttons, you can also see this in the pictures supplied by Amazon, I have included a picture of where we snorkelled to show the waves this set could handle with ease. Which was taken at Cala en Brut, Menorca.

Worked for me
We've always bought locally when abroad for snorkeling, naturally there has always been leakage at the mask or snorkel broke from the mask. The Phantom Aquatics kit made a perfect seal for no leakage and the snorkel itself allowed me to dive and clear the tube without breathing in a mouthful of salt water. Very well made and myself and wife have just returned from a great break in Skiathos with no concerns at all. Very good value for money, you even get a carry bag with it.

Great
I bought a set of these in preparation for a holiday in the red sea. A little nervous as I prefer to try a mask on before buying to ensure a good fit. However, after a trial at the local pool they fitted perfectly. I then bought a set for my wife and daughter and off to the red sea we went. We experienced no problems of leakage or issues with straps, or snorkel. A great mask at a great price.

Too big for Women! but high quality mask and snorkel for MEN only!
Arrived great and looks very nice. HOWEVER - This mask and snorkel does NOT fit petite women - I am not tiny but this mask covers my face from hairline to below my lips! no chance at being functional! And the mouth piece is a bit too big so difficult to keep in my mouth. However i did use the snorkel with another mask and it kept bone dry! really good (thus two stars not zero). It is almost too big for my husband. Only buy for men!!!
