Questions & Answers

RICHARD B : Can you get RX lense with the Mares Essence?Mario C : Thank you for your question and answer. We do not offer prescription lenses for that mask.
Shopper : Is this mask suitable for someone like me with a small nose and face, and also with small nose-to-mouth bridge? I wear a Scubapro Spectra and it works well.AUDRA S : That is how I would describe my face as well, and I love this mask. The skirt is soft and nice and the vision is great. I would say definitely go for it.MATT N : It should fit you fine. I have a fairly small face and my daughter also uses the same mask. I guess the only way to be sure is to try one on at a dive shop if you can. It is the best and most comfortable mask Iv'e ever owned.CLINT S : The mask is a soft & frameless type mask that would probably fit most face types.
Shopper : does the essence mask black model is totally black or is the one with the buckles in gray or transparent???AUDRA S : I only got a blue and a yellow, sorry. The mask is great though!MICHAEL P : On mine (bought in 2010) the buckles are transparent.MAURICE W : Mine is black. I have a terrible time finding a mask that fits my face without leaking. This one fit the best of all I have tried.

Meh...

The lens shape/field of vision is great. The skirt pushes on my upper lip during the dive. By the end its a little sore and feels great to take off. I really wish this mask fit me better. All other aspects are great, but fit is paramount in masks. I think my lower face juts out too much for the design. I have since tried the Tusa line, specifically the Freedom and Concerno. If you lean more towards your Neanderthal roots in facial structure, maybe not this one. The Tusa Concerno will be my next adventure.

Fits asian faces

I'm asian had leaking problems with Cressi Big Eye, Oceanic Shadow, and Atomic Frameless. The Essence hasn't leaked or fogged. Maybe a coincidence, but the last mask that didn't leak was an old framed Mares that I don't have anymore.

Good, but so big for me

The silicon is so soft, I agree. but this mask is too big for me (women/asian)

Good mask, just needs getting used to.

This mask was a bit of a trip for me. First off, the silicone is so soft, or the fact that it's framless made me want to tighten up the straps to the max. However, as I loosened it to the point where I didn't really feel it, it didn't leak... well the nose fills a bit, but it's easy to clear (I do have a big nose). Does not fog if you prep it and use defogging stuff as with all masks. Have used this in warm and cold water and no real complaints. Did leak on a couple of dives with a hood, but had gloves on and couldn't make sure my hood was overtop of the seal. Wish I would have got the black silicon, but overall it's a fine mask.

"Outstanding comfort item"

Although a mask is considered a comfort item to an SF Combat Diver, this mask is up there next to the Atomic Aquatics frameless mask for being the best comfort item.

Good product

The Essence mask is the maximum expression of Liquidskin technology. Silicone and glass come together and blend to create a mask that is truly one of a kind. Light and foldable, it has buckles on the skirt to offer a broad field of vision. All the features are orchestrated by the exclusive design, a synthesis of technology and aesthetics. The most important innovation since the introduction of silicone masks. Liquidskin is a bi-silicone exclusive technology. Two different types of silicone: a firmer portion for support structure and a softer portion for contact with your face, 45% softer on skin of unparalleled comfort. 270% greater elasticity for a perfect fit. By attaching the buckles to the skirt masks have superior hydrodynamics because the strap fits closer to the head, making this a low volume mask, in addition the tension exerted by the strap acts on the skirt and not directly on the frame reducing the pressure of the frame against the face.

The Ergo Buckles uses the most innovative design in the world. These buckles make adjusting the split strap fast and easy. Sturdy yet compact, they are designed specifically to optimize the advantage of skirt mounted buckle system. The single lens is an ideal choice for those who want to have an open unobstructed field of vision, the right approach for those wanting a panoramic view of the environment. Mares R&D along with Design Division have conducted numerous computer simulations and complex studies on the shape of the human face, the results are masks which combined great comfort with an incredible field of vision. Mask skirt has a double feathered edge for an improved seal, easy to squeeze nose well allows one handed equalization, tempered glass lens, with two models in clear and one in all black silicone. Mask comes with a mask box for protection.
