Cons:

• "The rubber straps weren't as comfortable."
• "Stars are based on the size and nothing more. I wear a size 7 5/8 fitted hat and this L/XL doesn't come close to fitting correctly."
• "I did notice, however, that if I wore it for more than 20 minutes my nose would start to hurt across the bridge and my face would get red and irritated and my jaw would hurt from pushing to keep my mouth open to breathe."
• "XL size was a little too small for me and there’re no bigger sizes available."

• "This mask smashes the bridge of my nose, pushes my cheeks up to where I can't see, and no matter how tight I make it water still leaks."

Cons:

• "I have been lying in the hospital for three days because of a snorkeling accident... The entire mask was filled with sea water. I desperately tried to pull off the snorkeling mask, but I couldn't pull off the adjustable strap, I was struggling to save myself."
• "Don’t get this. The snorkel design makes it so that it is incredibly difficult to inhale while under water, to the point where it feels like you are suffocating."
• "Breathing is very challenging wearing these."
• "Now, less than 2 weeks from using it (maybe a total of 10 hours of use) water POURS into the mask from my forehead seal when breathing in and bubbles out under my chin when breathing out."
