Atomic Aquatics Venom Frameless Mask

ممتازة تحت الماءلكن لا زلت اعاني من دخول الماء لكن بشكل اقل من النظارة السابقة

Best darn mask I’ve used thus far. I wonder how they’ll improve on this...

Parfait pour moi

As a quick disclaimer, this was ordered with a Hollis M1, 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 this one instead.LIGHT TRANSMISSION/CLARITY:First a start, the Venom Frameless seemed next-level in terms of light-transmission/clarity. Allegedly the Hollis M1 claims super high transmission, but this one just crushed it in the eyeball test. Incredibly clear.VISIBILITY:Paired with the optical clarity (above), the shape really promotes pretty amazing visibility, both laterally, as well as vertically. This one had the best range of visibility, followed closely by the M1. The Cressi was basically tunnel-vision in comparison to both and was instantly out of the running (not that it fit well anyway).MATERIALS:Again, the Venom definitely seemed to surpass the M1 (and obviously the Cressi). The skirt material was incredibly soft and high quality [feeling]. The design slick and just cool-looking overall.COMFORT & FIT:Alas, this is where the Venom failed me... the seal was OK (not great), but more importantly, the hard ridge over the bridge of the nose dug in painfully, and that's doing a simple mask-fit in my studio. Can't imagine this under water, at pressure... it really boiled down to Hollis M1 = no pain (and great seal), Venom = pain. I wanted to keep them both, realistically... but I'd never be able to wear this one in comfort. Here's to hoping they come out with a mask for my nose shape.I'm giving it an overall 5 stars, because I feel like it's a great mask design, just not one that fits my face (that's not a fault in manufacturing, just the nature of masks... they'll fit some, not others).

Good product.
