Duke Dry

I have tried quite a few masks and this one has done the best job of keeping the water out after a prolonged period of time and breathing is a little easier than most. The mask is a little bulky and I find myself having to adjust the straps often.

Fits really wear. The adjusting straps are difficult to use. Once you figure your fit, mask is great.

I've tried a lot of full face snorkel masks and this is my favorite. Not only do I have a large viewing area, but I can breathe normally. Most of the full face masks I have tried in the past has restricted air flow. I have to calm my breathing but not with this one. It is also easy to adjust.

I have tried to snorkel in the past and hated it with the goggles and snorkel. But this full-face mask is a game changer! I put it on, made sure it was water tight and off I went - no struggle to breath, no fogging over! It was truly one of the best days of my cruise finally getting to enjoy the beautiful waters of Aruba! Worth every penny (and really great priced!)

It's a very cool snorkel for my interests in viewing relatively, shallow water, sea and ocean critters, if you like floating on your back this won't work well due to the air flow cut off valve when water enters the snorkel andif you dive with this snorkel make sure you hold your breath first, or you'll be shocked when the air flow immediately cuts off, but for the surface water viewing it's fabulous, I had zero fogging issues, and the field of vision is great, I'm going to purchase another one for my trip to Mexico because I left the one I just bought on my island

I love to snorkel…this made the experience way better!

Not really fog-less,still need anti-fog like any other mask

Cressi Duke full face mask is by far the best I have had and I've tried several of them over the last few years. The fogging (or risk of) simply does not exist with this mask. I tried the Duke already various times and I always had fun, no problems. I knew this was not a diving mask as it covers your entire face, and that you can’t go down 20 feet (or less) as you can’t compensate but I guess this mask has more internal volume as I have been able to dive a bit without feeling a tremendous pressure on my face as it always happened to me with other masks. There are several options at this point on the market but I trust a scuba brand that has been around 70+ more than a knock off item as I heard some full face masks had big problems. One little minus is to remove the snorkel top. You have to push it down. Once you do it, becomes easy and natural; it has been a little tricky at the beginning. It comes in a bag.

I enjoy my snorkeling (as well as some scuba) but thought I'd hang on until I had actually used this mask before giving it a review.It seems well made, has decent quality seals (plus some spares for the valves) and looks the part.Time will tell how well the plastics last, but I guess I need to be realistic.I bought the larger size and it's a good fit, with a harness that is comfortable and easy to adjust.The face seals are comfortable, soft and easily cope with my (short) beard and are very effective on the surface and in shallow dives.Visibility is excellent and there is very little fogging as the seal around the nose and mouth is good - though there is a slow build up of spit/snot which you can only really clear on the surface.Similarly, if you do get water in the face section, there's no way of clearing it without taking the mask off on the surface - though this is easy to do.So all in all - a good bit of kit for finning around on the surface looking down and enjoying the view.The technique is a little different from a standard mask and snorkel (it might feel a bit claustrophobic to some), but I liked it and can use it comfortably for much longer.However, once submerged it has its limitations. As pressure increases with depth, I found the mask "wobbles" on its seals. Whilst a bit distracting, these remained watertight down to a reasonable depth - but I shall be keeping my standard mask & snorkel for more serious stuff!

Questo proverbio si sposa perfettamente nel caso di questa maschera…vi racconto la mia esperienza.: “quest’estate insieme ad una coppia di amici abbiamo comprato 2 maschere facciali e le abbiamo portate con noi in vacanza!! E’ stata una piacevole scoperta, perché questa maschera ti permette di respirare normalmente con la bocca e con il naso come se non stessi in acqua. Detto questo, e passata la novità del momento….la maschera, è risultata si molto carina, ma questo e nient’altro…in pratica quando vai ad esaminare in dettaglio…è risultata poco funzionale perché dopo pochi giorni di utilizzo iniziavano a cedere le guarnizioni e la maschera era quasi sempre appannata risultando ben poco adatta allo scopo per cui è stata acquistata!!! 20 euro buttati!!!”La modalità di immersione però mi è piaciuta, quindi, avendo in programma una settimana di ferie al mare, ho pensato di acquistare questa CRESSI, nonostante costasse 2 volte e mezza quella che avevo comprato in estate, con la speranza che non fosse solo nome!Aspettative assolutamente ripagate!!! La maschera viene consegnata in un sacchetto comodissimo per portarla in giro. L’aspetto estetico del prodotto è uno dei suoi punti forti ma non è il principale, infatti, quello che fa di questa maschera CRESSI uno dei TOP nel settore, è, sia la sua visibilità, che risulta nettamente più ampia rispetto alle altre grazie alla sua forma schiacciata, che le sue valvole anti-appannamento che non hanno mai dato segno di cedimento tutto il tempo di utilizzo. Per finire…quasi dimenticavo…è dotata di valvola che ottura il buco se vai sott’acqua, e giusto per non essere banali…guarnizioni di riserva in omaggio!! Brava CRESSI!!!!

Mein Fazit nach 14 Tagen Mittelmeer (ca. 20-30 Stunden): die beste Lösung, die ich kenne.Pro:Weniger Wasser geschluckt.Bessere Sicht.Natürliches AtmenCon:Tauchen ist schwieriger.Gelegentlich Erstickungsgefühl nach Auftauchen.Vorneweg: Ich habe zuvor im Urlaub immer nur einfache Auge-Nasen-Masken mit simplen Schnorchel benutzt. Es konnte also nur besser werden. Ich habe mit dieser Maske, trotz teilweise 50 cm Wellen, weniger Wasser geschluckt, als sonst in 1-2 Stunden mit offenem Schnorchel. Wenn man ruhig atmet, kann man den Wellengang praktisch ignorieren.Das Sichtfeld ist spürbar besser als bei einer normalen Maske. Die Maske beschlägt auch sehr wenig, weil immer Frischluft am Sichtbereich vorbei geleitet wird. Die feuchtere Atemluft wird auf einem anderen Kanal abgeleitet. Wenn das Wasser kühler ist, kann es trotzdem zu leichten "Nebel" kommen. Weil es aber in den meisten Tagen gar keinen Beschlag gab, habe ich nicht in die Maske gespuckt. Das hätte vermutlich auch geholfen.Tauchen ist gut möglich, die Maske schließt zuverlässig. Allerdings hat man durch die Maske relativ viel zusätzlichen Auftrieb. Deshalb habe ich oft komplett ausgeatmet, um gut abtauchen zu können. Das wurde mir 2-3 Mal sehr unangenehm, wenn die Maske nach dem auftauchen dicht bleibt (Unterdruck in der Maske). Während man beim Schnorchel einfach das Mundstück ausspuckt, bekommt man mit dieser Maske erstmal keine Luft. Entweder man hebt die Maske an, oder atmet so kräftig ein, das man Luft (mit einem furzenden Geräusch) an der Maske vorbei zieht. Man sollte also nur so Tauchen, das man nach dem Auftauchen noch etwas Luft zum ausatmen hat, oder 1-2 Sekunden für Workarounds. Am Ende seines Sauerstoff-Vorrats hat man wirklich keine Lust auf solche Logik-Rätsel.Die Maske sitzt bei mir gut, aber das dürfte sehr individuell sein. Ich habe eine größere Nase, und die scheuert je nach Position an den etwas unsauberen Schweißpunkten für die Nasenbrücke. Nachdem ich den Grat weggepult hatte, war das Problem weg. Die Befestigung für die Bänder ist auch etwas scharfkantig. Das merkte ich aber nur, wenn eine Weile seitlich auf die Maske klatschte. Zuhause werde ich auch diesen Grat mit etwas Schmirgelpapier entfernen.

Really nice quality and works great. I bought for my wife and measured for sizing as per the instructions. She was on the cusp for the larger size, so we oredered the bigger one. However, she struggled withi it as it was slightly too large so water was entering the mask. That said, it worked great when I used for myself. So lesson here is if you are not sure of sizing, probably safer to go with the smaller size.

This is well worth it! It made snorkelling so easy and so comfortable, didnt have to worry about fogging or water coming in. The best thing I’ve bought and because i wear contacts in the water (i know you’re not supposed to) it became so easy and no water leaking so i didnt have to worry about my contacts at all!
