Atomic Masks

Post by Cera »

Has anyone used the new atomic masks with the new "high-quality" glass? Is it really clearer? or better?

If you are talking about the shadow, it is a great mask but I don't personally think it is better mask than the Mares X-vision.

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

I meant the Atomic Aquatics SubFrame, but I guess they prolly put the 'ultra-clear glass' in all thier masks. I don't like the looks of the mares mask.

I dive this mask. It is the best mask I have ever used. There is a difference in the type of glass. For most people, in our water, you don't notice it as much but I can tell the difference. I like the fit of both the frameless and subframe mask. I have a X-vision mask too but I like the fit of my Atomic mask better.

I am excited to try the new Atomic ARC mask. Its a bit pricey (MSRP $150) but it allows you to actually see better as you go deeper and at night.

Cera, if you want to try my mask sometime, let me know.

Expect to see upgrades to the Atomic website this next week. I will get the new ARC masks in on Friday. I might take one with me to PBC this weekend to try it out and I will give a gear report once I get back.
