Mares X-Vision Ultra Liquidskin Mask

Quick answer: The Mares X-Vision Ultra Liquidskin is a red dot design award winner with a molded bi-silicone face piece for better fit and comfort, pressure-relief ribs around the nose, an X-shaped bi-silicone strap and a field of view 20% larger than the previous version. Prescription lenses are optional.

Why bigger divers look at it

Mares upgraded the face piece with molded bi-silicone specifically for improved fit and comfort, and the small ribs around the nose relieve pressure on long dives. The X-shaped strap spreads its hold across the back of your head, which tends to feel more secure on a larger head. Mares doesn't publish a face-size rating, so do the fit test below.

Lens options

Some versions come with mirrored lenses. Mares says gold mirror lenses improve visibility in murky water, while silver mirror lenses cut reflection over shallow, sandy bottoms. Ultra-clear versions keep the view bright and natural.
