Mares I3 Mask Product Description

 

The Mares I3 mask was designed with a huge field of vision with an extra wide central glass and glass panels on each side. The skirt and strap are made with 100% silicone.

 How to look after your mask:  All masks here at Dive Warehouse are made from 100% silicone and tempered glass. When a mask is manufactured, a thin layer of silicone residue remains on the glass. This causes it to fog during dives. Anti-fog will not work until the mask has been pre-cleaned. Anti-fog is designed to layer on the glass itself to prevent any moisture build up and if a layer of silicone is present, it will stop the anti-fog from working effectively. To remove this layer of silicone, the purchase a pre-cleaner is reccommended, or toothpaste works as a speedy alternative. These products have a slightly abrasive composition that works to remove such substances. A dollop of paste on each lens on the inside only will be plentiful. Rubbing the solution with fingers is the most effective as brushes may cause damage. Scrub thoroughly and rinse well. Repeat 3-4 times as necessary. Be sure to rinse the mask with fresh water after every use, store in cool place out of 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.
