Atomic Aquatics Sub Frame Mask

Quick answer: The Atomic Aquatics SubFrame is an extremely durable two-window mask with an internal frame molded beneath the silicone skirt, UltraClear lenses and squeeze-to-adjust buckles. Atomic backs it with a lifetime warranty against frame breakage.

Why bigger divers look at it

With no bulky external frame, the silicone skirt is the surface your face meets, which helps the mask sit cleanly and comfortably. Atomic describes the fit as great, and the easy squeeze-to-adjust buckles make it simple to set the strap snug enough to seal without overtightening. Atomic doesn't publish a face-size rating, so do the fit test below.

What it does well

Strength is the headline. The patented subframe gives the mask rigidity, and a stainless steel retainer locks the lenses in place and reinforces the nose bridge. UltraClear lenses deliver exceptional clarity and high light transmission with no color distortion, which helps in low light. The low, hydrodynamic profile gives a wide field of view.
