About 5 years ago I took mine off and put it in my bag. Last year someone on the dive boat needed a snorkel during a SI so I pulled it out and loaned it to them. Not long after that I needed to do a long surface swim. I didn't have a snorkel. When I got home I ordered a foldable snorkel and put it in my pocket. A foldable mask is next.
