Tilos Single Lens Panoramic Large Wide View Mask for Scuba Diving & Snorkeling

The strap is short, and barley fits a 7mm hood. The Valve under nose makes it hard to equalize your ears. With gloves on, it's hard to grasp your nose with that valve there. I do like the clear lens frame; it adds light and peripheral vision. They will be used as a backup mask.

I was shopping for a replacement to a long loved diving mask that is not longer made. The closest I could come to when searching my local dive shops and online was the Tilos mask. Things I love about this mask: The fit to my face is spot on. Being classic black, I do not have to worry about discoloring like had happed with my previous clear silicone masks. The purge valve in the base of the nose works without issue at 20 feet, hopefully this Summer I will get into deeper water. The silicone of the mask is very comfortable to wear for extended use. The price is reasonable. On the bad side, or areas of concern: The strap for the mask is considerably thinner than any of my previously used dive masks. I am considering purchasing a thicker strap to see if the buckles will accommodate, but that is the biggest knock against the overall rating for a 3/5. If the strap fails in a dive, it will potentially ruin the dive. The design of the strap is also different and disappointing from the typical head strap, being more like a webbing instead of the typical high/low split, but hopefully can be resolved by purchasing a heavier duty traditional strap. Until I can swim through my first wreck of the Summer, I will carry a backup mask as I put this new mask through the paces. If it had a thicker strap, this would have easily been a 4-5/5.

Sealed great once I trimmed my beard. Had to burn off the lenses and coat with anti-fog.No issues snorkeling for a week in Destin. The strap could be a little beefier but for the money, they are great. Pano lenses are the only way to go!

This is a great mask. Make sure that you get the one with the purge valve. I swam a mile the other day and my eyes (very sensitive to the pool water) NEVER GOT ONE DROP OF WATER IN THEM. As any water entered the mask, rarely, all I had to do was do a mild snort and the water was gone. Great vision. Best of all was the company, House of Scuba that I bought it from. I will be buying all of my water gear from them in the future.

This mask fogs up within seconds. I have tried good ole spit and defogger spray, all to no avail. I have been a scuba diver and snorkeler for forty years. I have used good masks and never had this issue. I have always rinsed out my mask, spit in it, put a few drops of water in it and everything was great. This looks identical to Cressi masks which all review with this issue....instant and continuous fogging. I would guess that it is made by the same company but then uses a different name on the mask. I would not buy this mask, nor would I recommend it to anyone. I would give it a zero stars if possible, but one star is fair since the mask fits well and does not leak.

I love these. Comfort and fit are outstanding.

Frame came off after 2 dives, but still holds airtight seal. I had 2 deep dives over 100' and I love it, much better visibility. I don't really care if the frame came off if it still works.

Fits great. Wanted a new mask with a nose purge. Can't wait to get up to the cabin and try it.
