HAD TO MODIFY THIS PRODUCT AT MY OWN RISK
First off the main point is that after many great conversations with Savi in customer service I decided on my own to try a slight modification. It happened to work but that was at my own risk. If you have a slim face or high cheekbones you may get a slight trickling leak as there is a piece of the silicon that holds the temple area still on each side. My face is narrow there with indentations. Therefore it was very close but not sealing perfectly. It would slowly start leaking. I cut that piece just enough on each side to allow more movement to reach my face and it works perfectly. This is not a problem with the item or a defect, it is just everyone having so many different size faces and features.SO ON TO THE GREAT PART!This product is phenomenal! So much more peripheral and all around vision without turning your head. Very soft ad comfortable against face. No chomping down on a snorkel and you can cough or clear your throat and just comfortably breathe normally with no struggles at all. Just like everything due to water temp, your body temp etc it does fog up but nothing is fog free and it did take a bit for it to do so. A couple friends are making fun of me with this sticking up on top of my head :) but when I in Mexico snorkeling daily and enjoying the clear view and easy experience then I win! Again great seller as well as they were great going back and forth to make sure it worked and were willing to do anything if it hadn't worked out. Really great idea. Love this item.

We couldn’t breathe!
We ordered 3 of these masks to take on a cruise in late March 2018. We checked to make sure they sealed onto our faces properly as the instructions stated. When we arrived at our snorkeling destination in the Caribbean and tried to use the masks, we couldn’t get enough air. My wife said she felt light headed and like she was going to pass out. We were unable to snorkel with these masks. I left seller feedback last week, and again today, as we would like to get our money back, but we are out of the return window-so have not heard anything from Vaincre. The only good thing I can say, is -the view was amazing and I didn’t have a snorkel in my mouth...but I would have preferred one so I could breathe properly. I do not recommend.

It's only good for kids in a pool, not a grown man in the ocean.
Unfortunately this mask did not work. It's a great idea and I wanted it to work so bad, but it is cheaply made and poorly produced. I'm a 5'11" man weighing @ 180lbs with an average/athletic build. I'm an avid SCUBA diver and snorkeler but this mask was WAY TOO SMALL and has a defective seal around the face. I bought it for a snorkeling trip to Belize. Before I ever got to use it, however, it got extremely scratched up in my suit case even though I left it in the mesh bag in which it was shipped and was padded by clothing. Once there, it flooded immediately from all points around my face. I tried in vain to seal it and adjust the straps but no matter how I adjusted it, it never worked. I then took it to a professional dive shop to have it fitted by a PADI certified dive master. He told me that the mask is defective and would never work regardless of how big or small the mask was, "it's got a design flaw...the seal is faulty and will always leak no matter how well it's adjusted". He went on to explain that the snorkel tube is too small and narrow and every time I exhale, the pressure inside the mask increased so much that it was forcing air to escape out around my face (instead of out the snorkel) and letting water into the mask with every breath. Indeed, I had trouble breathing in the mask while on dry land and became easily winded after wearing it for only 1 minute. He suggested that I try a clean shave (I had a 5 o'clock shadow) and apply a bead of sun screen around the edge of the mask to form a water/air tight seal and essentially glue it onto my face. I followed his instructions with no results. Even if it did work as a mask, I found it to be very uncomfortable, it fogs up and scratches easily and is too big and bulky to be practical when traveling.

Takes some getting use to but worth the effort.
I am not comfortable in the water whether it's the ocean or the pool so I do not generally go in past my waist or lower chest. At 50yrs. old I feel I've missed out on so much since we regularly vacation at the ocean. This year I decided to give this mask a try. I'm glad I did. With the aid of flotation devices and this mask I was able to view ocean life under the water. I've used a regular snorkel mask in the past but was not at all comfortable as water got in the mask right under my nose, the mask fogged up really bad and the mouth piece was cumbersome. With the full face mask I was confident because just a trickle of water got in but stayed low in the mask away from my nose and drained out when I heald my face upright. There was very little fogging. I believe the description states antifog but there is a little. The mask does take some getting use to so try it before taking it out for a real spin. I used it in the pool a few times first. It's easy to remove quickly if needed. You must breath slow and regular, that is the key for me at least. If I panick and start breathing fast the mask tends to fog and is hard to get in enough air. If I am relaxed the mask is great. You have to get use to it. I feel if the air ventilation were bigger it would make the mask much better. Because there is concern of CO2 build-up in the mask I would remove mine about every 15 minutes to get fresh air. I feel that this is something that should be related on the instruction manual.

Good so far
Thought I had already posted a review of this product but I don't see it so I will post again.Received the mast a couple of days ago but haven't had a chance to try it out. With that said, it was delivered on time with very good instructions. It appears to be well constructed. I like the fact that you can remove the snorkel for packing.I plan to test it out for leaks and ease of use in the next week or so in our community pool before heading to Florida in March.I will update this review after further testingUpdate 03-04-19Tested snorkel in our community pool last week. Mask was very comfortable, did not leak, and did not fog up. I'm very satisfied with it's performance.
