XS Scuba Fusion 3 Mask

Quick answer: The XS Scuba Fusion 3 is a redesign of the original Fusion: a three-window mask with tempered glass, a front lens plus side windows for a wide field of view, a durable polycarbonate frame and rapid-adjust quick-release buckles. A large nose pocket and a wide split strap round it out, and it comes with a storage box.

Why bigger divers look at it

XS Scuba says it's a great fit for nearly everyone. That's a general claim rather than a wide-face size, so do the fit test below. Two details help on a larger head: the wide split strap spreads tension across the back of the head instead of one thin band, and the quick-release buckles make it easy to fine-tune. XS describes it as a medium-volume mask, so expect a little more air to clear than with a low-volume design.

What it does well

The side windows open up your peripheral view and let in more light, which is great on a bright reef. The large nose pocket is easy to pinch with one hand for quick equalizing. The polycarbonate frame is built for years of service, and the colors are designed to match XS Scuba's Sedona Elite snorkels.

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.
