In addition to the characteristics of the classic version, the Star Elite features special lenses that help hide the fisherman's eyes. When fishes become aware of the predator's gaze upon them, they flee. To prevent this reflex in the fish, the Star Elite makes it possible to hide the fisherman's eyes. Ideal for open-water spearfishing on sight.

The Mares Research and Development and Design departments have conducted numerous computer simulations and complex studies on the various shapes of the face. The results are masks that combine incredible comfort with a broad field of vision.

When freediving, the internal volume of the mask is extremely important, and a lower volume makes it easier to equalize. Thanks to a meticulous design, Mares has optimized the balance between internal volume, field of vision and comfort.

Fastening the buckles on the skirt makes the mask more hydrodynamic, because the strap adheres more closely to the head. In addition, the tension exerted by the strap acts on the skirt rather than directly on the frame, reducing the pressure on the frame of the face.

Painstaking and innovative design is one of the strong points of most Mares Spearfishing and Freediving equipment. The designs are always developed and executed with a parallel vision between technical research, functionality, design and reliability. This corporate strategy has helped make Mares a leader in the sector.
