    Pure vision vs. X-vision

    I purchased the pure vision a few weeks ago and just had a chance to try it out last weekend. Well come to find out the nose part (top nose piece) pushes really hard against the bridge of my nose. So much that I can't stand it after 10 min even after I loosen the straps. So I am going to have to get another mask.

    My question is, are the Pure Vision and X-Vision the same mask but the Pure Vision does not have the post in the middle? I like the Pure Vision just the nose part I can't handle, my wife has the X-vision MID and that fits OK but I think the skirt is a bit small for my face. If the X-Vision is the same thing with the post I will buy it (I am doing this on line so I can't try it on at the store).

    Any adivse is greatly appriciated.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Matt,

    X-Vision is the same frame as X-Vision mid, but with a larger skirt.

    Thanks Phil.

    Is the skirt on the Pure Vision the same as on the X-Vision? I remember trying on the X-vision before and thought it was too big, but I was in a hurry trying it on. The Pure vision skirt fits fine but the nose piece hurts.

    They are close, but not exactly the same. I would reccomend you try it on if possible.

    Thanks for your help Phil.

    I was hoping you would say they were the same :-), now I am not sure what I am going to do for a mask. Guess I will just order the x-vision and keep my fingers crossed.

    Thanks again,
    Matt

    Sorry to hijack the thread... but it's almost related. While we have you here, Phil, any developments on getting the X-Vision Mid in a black skirt?

    I have the X Vision, and I love it. And I have a large face and schnoz.

    I have an x-vision and have just got the Demon mask. Believe I like it better.
