Mares I3 Mask Product Description

 

The Mares I3 mask is a super popular mask due to it being designed with a huge field of vision with an extra wide central glass and glass panels on each side for that guaranteed peripheral vision. One thing that many divers say when it comes to choosing a mask, is that they want more peripheral vision as this generally helps people feel more comfortable in the water, especially new divers. This I3 with its new design side panels allows divers to get a whole lot more vision and therefore opening up their viewing to see more of the underwater world. This mask will blow you away as it is a one of a kind. Not one person that has put this mask on has said no to it!!! It is made from the softest of silicone with tempered glass and comes in 3 colours. Designed for scuba divers, this mask is one of the newer designs in the Mares range and is a must within your scuba equipment. Even though it was brought out dedicated to scuba divers, many spear fishing guys and snorkelers have also purchased this mask due to it being that great. Definitely something you need to try. The skirt is made with 100% silicone as is the strap. The side plastic buckles are easy to use to give you the perfect fit every time.

 

How to look after your mask:  All of our masks here at Dive Warehouse are made from 100% silicone with tempered glass. When a mask is made, it gets a thin layer of silicone on the inside of the glass. This is what causes it to fog. Anti-fog will not work until it has been pre-cleaned, as to work it needs to reach the glass and with the silicone layer covering this, it can’t work. To remove this layer of silicone, you will need to purchase a pre-cleaner. These products have a slight abrasive in it and will scrub off that silicone layer. A blob of paste on to each lens on the inside only, give it a good scrub and rinse off with fresh water. Repeat this process 3 times to ensure you have scrubbed off all of the silicone layer, then you can anti-fog. The glass will not get scratched as it is tempered. You can purchase a good quality anti-fog here at Dive Warehouse, or you can spit or lick the inside of the lens as spit is a natural anti-fog! After you have cleaned your mask and are no longer fogging, you will need to wash your gear after every use to prevent it from perishing. The best way to clean you mask and snorkel is to put them in a tub of fresh warm water and give them a good rinse. this will take off all of the salt and sand that you get from the ocean. Store them away in a dark dry place to prevent the silicone from turning an off colour. The sun will do this if you store them in direct sunlight.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

How do I stop my mask from fogging?

 

A new mask will need to be cleaned first on the inside of the lenses to remove any residue from manufacturing, this is done with a mask lens cleaner. Then an anti-fog is to be placed on the inside of the lens before use. 

 

How do I know if the mask wont leak?

 

Place the mask on your face without the band, breathe in gently, if air is coming in then it will most likely leak. You do not want air air to be entering the mask.

 

I have a beard and my mask always leaks, what can I do?

 

With facial hair you can either shave it off (which most guys will not want to do) or you can place a layer of vasoline on your facial hair here the mask skirts sits and this will seal it up. The aim is to get all of your hair going in the same direction downwards. 

 

What is best - Clear silicone or Black silicone?

 

This is a personal preference and neither is better than the other. Black silicone will shield you eyes from the sun and tunnel your vision, clear silicone will open up your peripherals.

 

Which is the best brand?

 

The best brand of mask is the one that fits your face the best. They are all made with 100% silicone and tempered glass.  

 

What is the warranty?

 

The Mares warranty of the dive masks is 2 years. If you need to make a claim, the product will need to be sent back to Mares to be assessed before a decision is made.
