marez viper by basic freediver

The new skirt and the looks of the mask made me want to try it in comparison to my technisub micro which needed replacement.
Skirt design was more flexiable so seems to give a greater surface area around the face to seal even with only a small smooth edge on it. the pressure of the mask was notiable moved from the front to the side of the face due to the skirt extending around the face further. i did the water volume test and got an average of 109ml over 5 tests with it just tight enough on face to hold the water.
for me this one is a winner as the field of vision is great and the seal/comfort is brilliant.
i also have a sphera, and ufit, but this one now takes the top position over the technisub as best seal, and most comfortable.

This is a little article I did on the Viper for DeeperBlue from DEMA: https://www.deeperblue.com/mares-viper-mask-now-shipping/

The mask that is shipping looks slightly different than the pictures above.

My Viper mask just arrived today! Amazing fit!!!

I like the way the masks skirt lays absolutely flush with my forehead. There is no internal volume in that part of the mask. That's the benefit to using the single edge seal. A double edge can't lay flush like that.
