I have the Avid folding - in it's favor is the fact that it folds up very small... however the corrugated hose traps water and I have never been able to clear it completely. if I was going to carry one, I'd get a plain rubber snorkel and keep it in my pocket, or one of the simple "roll up" designs (if they didn't cost a fortune over here)

Aloha, Tim

I have an Apollo folding snorkel and it works great. It folds up like a pretzel. Just got myself a Aqualung Snap snorkel which allows you to roll the snorkel up and secure it in a keeper. Haven't try it yet but I suspect that performance-wise, the Apollo will be better. But Aqualung Snap would certainly rolls up neatly. Here are the links you might want to take a look:

Yep, the Snap folds much better but the Apollo performs better. (Yes I have way too many snorkels.)
