Riffe Mantis 5 Mask Freediving Mask - Lens Options - Black Silicone

Quick answer: The Riffe Mantis 5 is a spearfishing and freediving mask made from heat-treated silicone to reduce fogging, with a durable nylon frame, GoPro mount capability and a choice of clear or amber tempered glass lenses.

Why bigger divers look at it

Riffe's molding quality is something you notice the moment you pick one up, and a well-made silicone skirt tends to seal more evenly and comfortably. Riffe doesn't publish a face-size rating for the Mantis 5, and freediving masks sit close to the face, so do the fit test below. If you're between the Mantis models, compare the fit of each before you commit.

What it does well

Heat-treated silicone cuts down on fogging, a real advantage when you're hunting and can't stop to clear a hazy lens. The nylon frame is built for hard use. The GoPro mount capability lets you film your dives from your own point of view.

Clear or amber?

Clear is the standard, true-color lens. Amber boosts light and contrast and improves separation in low visibility, which helps you pick out fish against murky water or a busy reef.

What you get

• Heat-treated silicone rubber to reduce fogging
• Durable nylon frame
• GoPro mount capability
• Tempered glass lenses in clear or amber

Options

• Type: Black Silicone with Amber Lens, Black Silicone with Clear Lens

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.
