I decided to get a second mask, and went for Big Eyes that I had been eyeballing for awhile. In my opinion the mask fits my face fine and it sure adds to the field of vision, I can now see my belt buckle even. Also, LDS stocked RX lenses which were essential feature. However, getting the strap adjusted is a pain in the butt. It has to be just right. One notch wrong and the mask leaks. Add a snorkel and the setting is off, change hood the setting is off, move the strap on the skull the setting is off and the leaking starts.
I asked the only guy I know with the same mask, and he said that he has same problem the strap has to be exactly right or the leaking starts. My previous mask wasnt this fickle. No other masks Ive tried have been this fickle. Ive used a nylon strap, and I swapped that to my Big Eyes thinking it would be an improvement. My problems started all over again, and now I cant even count notches mid-dive if something changes.
Have you had this problem with your Big Eyes? Should I start considering that I have an ill-fitting mask and look for something else? Maybe its not the strap but so borderline-fit if I only have one possible setting. Have you found solutions to these struggles with your Big Eyes or am I fighting a futile fight? Needles to say my sinuses are raving having been flushed for ten dives.
