Cressi Liberty Mask

Quick answer: The Cressi Liberty is a single-lens mask with a wide, unobstructed view, tempered glass, a soft hypoallergenic double feathered-edge skirt, a split strap and easy buckles. Its nose pocket is easy to reach with one hand, even in thick gloves.

Why bigger divers look at it

Cressi pairs a double feathered-edge skirt with a split strap, and the two work together for a solid seal. Two soft sealing edges help the mask settle evenly across your face, and the split strap spreads its hold across the back of your head, so you can run it snug instead of tight. Cressi describes the skirt as anatomically designed but doesn't publish a face-size rating, so do the fit test below.

What it does well

One big lens means a phenomenal, open field of vision with nothing in the middle of your sightline. The buckles make strap length changes immediate. The nose pocket is designed to be reached and pinched with one hand, which is handy in cold water with gloves on. A painted, coated frame gives it a clean tech look.

Before you buy

Hold it to your face without the strap and breathe in gently through your nose. It should stay put without pressure at your temples or nose pocket. Read How to Fit a Dive Mask. More options: Wide-Fit Scuba Masks for Larger Faces.
