Mares X-VU Liquidskin SF Mask

Mares X-VU LiquidSkin SF is one of the most comfortable and clearest spearfishing masks on the market. In fact, the Mares LiquidSkin Masks are 45% softer than most other brands which allows for unparalleled comfort. The X-VU LiquidSkin is also the first two lense diving mask that utilises Mares LiquidSkin technology. Mares have also injected soft silicone into the nose area which adds additional comfort to that area. Ultimate Spearfishing Magazine's "Ultimate Mask Review": "The Mares X-Vu is a remarkable mask with a fantastic field of vision. Lending some great traits from its predecessor the X-Vision, the X-Vu is also exceptionally comfortable and even though its not a low volume mask, it by no means feels like a large volume mask. We tested the standard version and the Liquid Skin version and the Liquid Skin had a consistently lower volume and field of vision as the skirt is so soft the mask melts against your face, compressing and bringing the lenses closer to your eyes. Normally a mask compressing means that its going to land up pressing on a sensitive spot on your forehead or cheeks, but Mares has somehow made this not an issue and this will mean that it will be comfortable for most people. This also means that the relative volume while diving will probably be lower than the test results. Overall this is a great mask, so much so I had to test it in the sea. I took the standard version and dived into the Durban basin wrecks that go down to 29m and absolutely enjoyed the mask. I had to release some air into the mask while equalising but it never felt like the mask was squeezing on my face. The extra vision is also a big plus with this mask. I particularly enjoyed the ability to see down and backward at my flasher while swimming on the surface without having to dip my head."
