The Essence mask is the maximum expression of LiquidSkin technology. Silicone and glass come together and blend to create a mask that is truly one of a kind. Light and foldable, it has buckles on the skirt to offer a broad field of vision. All the features are orchestrated by the exclusive design, a synthesis of technology and aesthetics.
Ultimate Spearfishing Magazine's "Ultimate Mask Review":
"The Mares Essence is the only other single lens and frameless mask in this review. The Essence only comes in the Liquid Skin version and is another great mask by Mares. We thought this would have the best area of vision of all the masks, but it was pipped by its cousin the X-Vu. However, the unobstructed full frame does have some serious advantages over the twin lens masks.
As was pointed out with the Rob Allen Couta, the other single lens mask, the unobstructed view and fact that there is very little chance that any sensitive pressure points will be hit make this mask very attractive. Again the only concern is the volume. But, as has been mentioned, there are ways to manage this, and depending on the diving you are doing, this could be the ultimate mask for you.
The Liquid Skin makes for a very comfortable and sleek mask, with the buckle attaching to a very robust flexible tab on the hard edge of the frame and skirt. The unique thing with all the Liquid Skin masks by Mares is that they combine two different types of silicone: a firmer portion for support structure and a softer portion for contact with your face. The soft, highly elastic portion helps with the fit and seal while the firm part ensures the mask does not collapse on your face. This can be a problem in masks with only have soft skirts where the frame or lenses end up putting pressure on the face where compressed, and you end up needing to put more air into the mask to pressurize it. This, however, is not so much the case with the Liquid Skin masks, because you can squeeze them really tight on your face without the mask collapsing.
If having that extra peripheral vision is important to you then this mask is one you will need to look at."
