- 45% Softer: Unparalleled Comfort
- 270% More Elastic: Highly Adaptable
- Increased Field of Vision
With the addition of Mares patented Liquidskin® technology, the X-Vision now offers comfort that was formerly impossible. By co-molding two different types of silicone, there is no longer a need to compromise comfort in order to support the frame structure of a mask.
- The section that rests on the face is made with silicone that is 45% softer and 270% more elastic than what is typically used by other masks
- The support structure and the area of the seals are molded with a silicone that is 30% harder than the traditional material
- The extremely soft silicone portion rests on the face delivering a new level of comfort. The marks that are typically left on your face after a dive are mostly eliminated
- The superior elasticity and softness of Liquidskin® allows the mask to fit perfectly on a wider range of faces.
- Liquidskin® adapts to facial movement and offers a great seal virtually eliminating water leakage
- Equalization is now much easier due to the super soft nose pocket. Its light weight and soft adherence to the face are so gentle that you can forget you're wearing it X-Vision Liquidskin® is the ideal mask for all kinds of diving, from snorkeling to freediving to scuba, both for recreational and professional divers.
The new X-Vision LiquidSkin mask from Mares is as soft as a goby's bottom and sticks to your face like the suction cups of an octopus, thanks to a new co-molded skirt that mixes two different silicone compounds for durability and unmatched comfort. The company says that the sealing edge of the skirt and the nose pocket are made from a proprietary compound that is 45 percent softer and 270 percent more elastic than traditional mask skirts, while the silicone that supports the buckles and connects with the frame is 30 percent harder. We can't vouch for the precise numbers, but in a blind test against a handful of traditional masks, we did note a softer, more comfortable feel with the LiquidSkin. The new Ergo buckles are another nice touch--just tug forward on the buckle to loosen; tug on the end of the strap to tighten.
