Cressi F1 Mask - Frameless Diving Mask made in sof Silicone for ensure comfort and perfect seal

Product Information

The earpieces are also designed in such a way that they don’t interfere with your hearing or balance, they’re soft enough not to hurt when they press against your ears but firm enough not to fall off accidentally (which is important when diving). And if that weren’t enough, there’s even an easy-to-adjust strap on this mask so that anyone can fit into it comfortably. Reasons You Should Try Cressi F1 Mask Once you have the best fit, and the best design for you, you can focus on your dive itself. Seven of The Best Scuba Masks for Smaller Faces While all elements of the Cressi Z1 and Cressi ZS1 are the same, the dimensions and weight evidently change. The Z1 has a 150 mm wide lens, while the height is 85 mm. The ZS1 has a max width of the lens equal to 145 mm and maximum height equal to 82 mm. The external maximum dimension of the Z1 is 97 mm, while the maximum width is 165 mm. The same measurements for the ZS1 are 158 mm and 93 mm. The weight of the Z1 is 200, a high value determined by the big monolens. The ZS1 weighs 185 grams. Special solutions F1 is the modern single-crystal mask derived from PIUMA model with especially elegant, harmonious and Frameless technology. There are many masks available now to suit children and adults with smaller faces, so here’s a few with other benefits:

I took the A1 to Florida and—despite my initial skepticism—I did notneed to defog the mask with toothpaste or burn it, after a liberal coating with spit to prevent fogging, of course. The A1 fit well and did great out in the field, and I found the yellow lenses to function similar to polarized sunglasses—you don’t realize how cool things look with them on until you take them off. The silicone skirt is assembled directly over the glass without the need of assembly. This system guarantees a good visibility in all directions, especially to the sides because it allows a maximum approach eye / glass without annoying pressures on the front or on the high part of the nose. The Calibro has been somehow one of the first modern revolutions in the Cressi masks line. With the innovative Fog Stop System it made the first step towards the future. In addition, special nerves on the skirt and matt silicone internally and externally make the Cressi Calibro a top level solution. Thinner silicone on the sides of the nose to help equalization is a plus. For deeper information read the x-rays and Super test articlepublished at the time of the launch of this mask. Nano In addition, the manufacturer claims that the tempered glass lens on this mask offers superior optical clarity and allow for more light transmission compared to traditional plastic lenses while still providing a protective layer from scratches. Our divers unanimously agree that this is the case after trying out the mask at all visibilities from 5 to 30m. On a recent mask testing trip, from our team of divers, the one wearing the Cressi Frameless F1 Mask was the only person able to make out the faint shadow of a large school of herring swimming around them; a testament to the clever design of this lens.Smaller faces don’t tend to suit masks with three or four pieces of glass, as they use wider frames, and can cause underwater reflection and distort your vision. So, dual window is your best option. Volume Both the A1 and the F-Dual look like solid contenders for trips to come, but I’m most excited to see what — if any — difference the yellow lenses make on the A1. Post-Trip Update We have a huge range of Masks, and have found this mask does fit a lot of faces! It’s single lens and soft silicone works well on narrow faces as well as broad ones. Some people struggle to have a good fit with twin lens masks as the centre piece between the glass hits them on the forehead area. With this single lens, you’ll find there’s no pressure on the bridge of the nose or forehead. Skirts - the mask skirt isn’t just to colour co-ordinate your dive suit! It will impact the amount and quality of vision around you. A clear or transparent skirt allows more light to give you clearer all-round sight (like a panoramic sunroof!) Although the extra light can create reflections and could cause a distraction if you’re not used to it. But, if you suffer with claustrophobia or think you might feel hemmed in, this is one for you. The skirt is very polyvalent for all kinds of physiognomies and offers a great comfort even with much extended use. The design calculated of interior spaces combined with the calibrated skirt flexibility, variable depending on the area, provide a great mask’s stability with a great comfort and adaptation polyvalence.

It does have silicone details to hold it in place but gone are the days of your hair getting tangled up in your mask strap. Large Noses – Zeagle Scope Mask Cressi have been making scuba and snorkeling equipment for generations so they know what they’re doing when they’re making masks Dual window masks use two pieces of glass, so although less foldable, many of them use teardrop shaped lenses so will give you better quality ‘downward’ vision (helps when reading gauges, getting in and out of the water, and can help reduce claustrophobia). Dual window masks also fit more face shapes, are easier to clear and you could still fit coloured and prescription lenses. Similar to the Superocchio, with a very traditional design, it has wider lenses, and in general is less compact than the more famous sister. Construction and compactness The benefit of brighter white, yellow, and pink coloured skirts is that they are easy to spot and will make you more easily identifiable, even in murky waters. These may be good for the newer or less confident divers.Although generally designed for adult faces (usually 4.5-5 inches from one edge of the skirt to the other), modern design and technology means finding a mask that fits smaller faces is easier now than ever before. Yes, it’s fine to rent or borrow a mask. But it really is worth buying one for your specific needs, so we thought we would list some of the considerations and recommendations for the best scuba diving masks for smaller faces. Comfort Cressi F1 Mini Frameless - available with coloured or clear skirts, with a double layer of silicone forming an airtight, but comfortable seal. As its name suggests, the single lens is bonded to the mask skirt and is excellent value for money. Super low profile and is therefore easier to clear than other similar models yet provides a much wider field of vision too. And with the single window, it is easy to fold almost flat. I have used this mask in all sorts of conditions from calm waters to rough seas,and it has never failed me. It stays on my face no matter how much movement there is, and it keeps water out of my eyes no matter how strong the current is. Cressi offers a wide range of masks specifically suited to children and adults with smaller faces, so it is worth looking through in more detail.

Available colours: Clear, Yellow, Blue, Silver, Dark, White, Pink, Lilac, Khaki, Orange and Lime. Cressi F1 Frameless Mask – Features As I mentioned before that, I have been using them for some time and I have to say, it’s my favorite mask ever.CRessi F1 Frameless Dive Mask, a single lens frameless dive mask derived from the Cressi Piuma. The F1 silicone comes in a range of very bright colours, making for a very stylish diving or snorkelling mask made from top quality materials. Made with hypoallergic glossy silicone, both internally and externally, the Cressi Minima skirt is special due to the special overall design. The nose area is quite big, while of course the part below the lenses is large due to the latter being so narrow. The base of the nose internally has on the two sides a convex profile of the skirt to well position the nose and additionally reduce internal volume. The internal profile around the lenses shows a step generated by the frame. Rear strap and adjustment If you’re on a budget but, you want a decent diving mask then the Cressi F1 is a great mask. Nothing overly fancy but, neither does it look or feel cheap. Even though the focus by Cressi, as said, are not the frameless masks, the offer is complete with the monolens solutions. These utilize the monolens as chassis and fuse the skirt with it. We had presented in 2020 the Cressi F1 monolens mask solution. Here we present two other masks, the Cressi Z1 and the smaller version, the ZS1. Construction and compactness The mask has an internal channel that allows you to use either halogen or LED lights without having cords hanging in your face or getting tangled up in the strap system.

If you have a relatively simple prescription, then the Ceos is a great mask to help you out. Budget – The Cressi F1 Decent Diving Mask Budget – The Cressi F1 Decent Diving Mask Budget – The Cressi F1 Decent Diving Mask Budget – The Cressi F1 Decent Diving MaskSingle or Dual Window - single window masks may give you a wider view and are more travel-friendly (fold into a flat shape), but they don’t always fit well on narrower faces, and may leak. They also hold larger air volume too, so they are harder to clear, and are not compatible with most corrective lenses. I collect dive masks like some women collect purses. But, unlike swapping out a new bag for a new season, when I find a mask that fits well, and doesn’t flood or fog, it stays in pretty much permanent rotation. I’ve long been a fan of frameless masks, such as the Cressi Z1, my long-time go-to. So, when I received two new Cressi masks to review — one of which is also frameless — I was excited to try them. We’ll start with the A1. Unboxing the A1 Mask The pink frame and yellow lenses on this A1 mask make it eye catching above and below the water (photo by Chris Miskavitch) The silicone skirt on this mask is flexible and conforms to your face comfortably without pinching or digging into your skin. We tested this mask on a few of our divers to various depths between 5-25m and no one reported a leak. Therefore, as it’s also leak proof, you don’t have to worry about water getting into your mask when you dive down deep or the subsequent mask clearing, which can be an uncomfortable experience for beginner scuba divers. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And when it comes to scuba diving equipment, this adage often holds true. But Cressi has long produced a range of affordable masks that perform exceptionally well for the cost, and the SF1 appears to continue in this tradition. Cressi has not focused on frameless masks, as such solution generally has as a result more fog on the lenses. During the manufacturing phases, in fact, when the lenses are fused with the skirt and the internal chassis, the glass opens its pores and silicone enters. This determines fog formation and more difficulty in cleaning the lenses. For such reason the most advanced solutions by Cressi are with frame. Quantum
