Cressi F1 Mask - Unisex Frameless Diving and Snorkeling Mask for Adults

quality and comfort is there unfortunately fogs more than my kettle

I am a scuba diving instructor with 3000+ dives and I have been using this mask for almost 4 years. I just bought it again as cockroaches ate away at the silicone of my last one (use the best for storage if necessary!).Only thing is make sure you give it a burn on the inside of the glass to avoid fogging (youtube it) and use some defog solution (any dishwash soap works, rinse it off though!). I burnt mine 3 times before I was happy.

There's no getting away from the fact that this is a 'cheap' mask. The seal under the nose is where that is most obvious to me anyway - my more expensive masks (one is the Cressi Nano) can deal with a little stubble but this one will leak if I don't shave in the morning. The seal is also more fussy around the temples so you have to get the strap just right. Otherwise, it is super comfortable, gives great visibility, and looks different which I like. It is touchy with fogging (even after using a lighter and spraying before every use with the cressi anti-fog stuff). If I take it off my face at any point, I need to rinse, dry and re-spray to keep the fog away. For reference, I use it day and night for scuba, free-dive (30m), and spear fishing several times a week. For the money, can't complain - but 4 not 5 stars from me because it is a little fussy.

*Actualizo, devolví las azules puesto que no venían con la goma que aparece en las fotos, aproveché para comprar las grises, a ver si así venían con esa goma, y además la funda de neopreno, por is la goma era la misma, así se haría mas comoda en largos periodos de buceo. Visto está que sigue con la misma goma, pero no voy a hacer el pedido de todos los colores. Si buceas durante largos periodos, compra tambien la funda de neopreno, la suya o la de los chinos, es la misma. Una última cosa es que en las azules, en las foto se ve, lleva un código impreso en la silicona, algo que me parecía bastante feo, en las grises no viene, es de agradecer.- En primer lugar los puntos a favor, amplia visibilidad, buena calidad de la silicona, buen sellado y te viene en su fundita de plastico semi duro para que puedas llevarla sin rallar los cristales.- En segundo lugar los puntos en contra, el cristal se empaña una barbaridad, como si fuesen del chino, probaré a hacer varios remedios a ver si se soluciona, si se soluciona dejaré un comentario, lo de bajo volumen... creo que muy bajo no es... he visto otras que si me dan mas sensación de tener poco volumen de aire pero estas no, una manera de verlo es que si aprietas las gafas contra la cara y luego las dejas parece que te succione los ojos y se te vayan a salir, osea que hay mucho aire aun.Por ultimo, el "TIMO" en la foto que aparece en la descripción y la foto del artículo viene una correa de cressi que es super cómoda, lo digo porque la he probado, y te la mandan con esta correa (fotos) que lleva 2 tiras y acaba haciendo daños despues de 2 horas de buceo, la otra reparte mejor la carga y presión y de esta manera no acabas con tanto dolor de cabeza por la correa, aun estoy por decidir si las devuelvo o no...

I don't usually write reviews but as it's not giving me the option to return the item or get a refund, I thought I'd warn other people about buying this mask.I shopped around for a while looking for a decent mask and settled on the F1 as the reviews were good. However, when I first took it out, it just steamed up so quickly that it made seeing underwater pretty much impossible.I even used anti fog spray and that lasted about 2 mins before fogging up again. My brother actually bought the Cressi big eyes mask at the same time and we took them out together. His was amazing! Best mask I've ever used. As you can see I'm not here to diss the brand Cressi which are pretty good on the whole, but honestly this F1 mask is a waste of time. It's sole purpose is to allow you to see underwater.... which it doesn't. Therefore it's useless. A few of my friends tried it too, all with different face sizes/noses etc....(I'm rather generously proportioned in the nose department you see which I thought might be the reason why it didn't work) but everyone had the same experience... the dreaded Fog.Go for the Cressi big eyes... amazing mask. Tested by 3 different people.Hope this helps.
