Mustache Divers Mask Suggestions

I put some Burt's Bees wax on my stache to help with the seal. Works well for me.

I will try that to see if I can get 100% seal.

FWIW, I lived in Pennsylvania Dutch Country for years and I don't recall these bearded fellows ever complaining about leaky scuba masks.

I'm inclined to agree with an earlier post - I have a bristly mustache, don't shave it at all, no lube, and when I wear a mask that fits well and the strap is directly opposite (i.e., not near the top of my head or pulled down too far), and the right tightness, it stays dry as can be.

If I have the strap a bit off, or it's too tight or too loose, then I get leakage.

A good fitting mask, properly fitted and strapped shouldn't leak, even with facial hair.

I put silicone grease on my mustache when I had it. Vaseline is petroleum based, so it will degrade the silicone skirt on your mask.

Robot or human?

This. Growing out the stache a little longer helps too. I tried trimming the top to skin but it made my mask skirt pull up against my nose uncomfortably. A light layer of regular o-ring silicone grease to the hair before gearing up works flawlessly for me all day. Keep it in my save a dive kit.

As others have mentioned, do not use any oil based lubricants (Vaseline, etc) as this can degrade the silicone based skirt.
