Tri-comfort technology
Tri-comfort technology consists of a softer material that is moulded on the frame where it touches the forehead and nose. This flexible material is extremely comfortable for frequent or long dives.
Tempered glass lenses
Tempered glass is two to five times more durable than traditional glass. If it shatters, it breaks into small pieces, reducing the risk of a major accident.
Prescription lenses are possible
Mares proposes prescription lenses for most of its models. In addition to negative lenses (-1 to -7), certain models can also be fitted with positive lenses (+1.5 to +3).
The latter are not currently available from DECATHLON. Do not hesitate to contact the Mares brand directly or your optician.
Micro-adjustment buckles
Micrometric buckles together with the notched strap on either side of the mask allow easy and highly accurate adjustment of the mask, even when wearing gloves.
Dimensions of the mask
Width: 17 cm.
Height: 12 cm.
Thickness: 8 cm.
Avoid the appearance of mist in your mask
New mask: Wash your mask with washing-up liquid and warm water, using your fingers, to remove any grease. Do not use a sponge.
Before each use, spit into your mask and wipe the lens with your fingers to rinse the mask.
Dampen your face with the water to limit heat loss between the skin and the lens of your mask, as this will reduce mist.
Use an anti-fogging spray to completely eliminate mist.
How to choose the right mask size
You need to position your mask on your face without the strap, and press with your hands to make sure it’s firmly in place, blocking your breath.
If the mask "suctions” properly, and stays stuck to your face, it’s perfect and means that it is your size and will be watertight.
If it unsticks and falls off, that means that air is getting through, and so water will get in, so you’ll need to try another size or another mask.
